Calypso Saves The Earth

I always use reusable totes when I go shopping. When I tell the cashier that I don’t need a plastic bag, I add, “I’m saving the Earth.” It’s something a cashier said to me once, and I liked it.

Calypso Studios wants to help you save the Earth.

Right now, on the company’s Web site, you can enter to win one of 10,000 reusable totes that Calypso Studios is giving away for Earth Day. You have through noon eastern tomorrow — April 22 — to enter [[but don't forget to come back here tomorrow because Drugstore Divas and Calypso have a surprise for you]].

The company’s totes are called S.H.O.P Totes, which stands for Start Helping Our Planet. I love it. But what I love even more is that a set of three totes comes with an awesome carrying case. That’s so convenient. I love my reusable totes and all, but they really aren’t ever neat in my car or bedroom. Having a carrying case is the perfect way to travel and store these bags.

So, even you don’t win the contest, you’re probably gonna wanna buy these totes.

And PS while we’re on the topic, Calyspo Studios’ll let you in a bunch of facts as to why plastic bags are bad, but here’s the one I like most:

Each reusable bag you use has the potential to eliminate an average of 1000 bags over its lifetime.

So see, stop taking plastics, eliminate 1000 bags, and save the Earth. It’s great for everyone.
