"Bag The Plastic Bag!"
Join IKEA in reducing waste and "Bag The Plastic Bag!"
IT'S TRUE:
The amount of plastic shopping bags that we all use once and toss is overwhelming. The world uses a trillion plastic bags a year.

-The average family of 4 accumulates 1460 plastic shopping bags a year
- Unfortunately, MOST END UP IN THE TRASH, or in the ocean or in tress...and they take FOREVER to disappear. It can take up to 1000 years for a plastic bag to break down in the environment.

WHAT WE CAN DO, TOGETHER:
AS OF OCTOBER 1st, 2008 IKEA WILL NO LONGER SELL OR CARRY PLASTIC "THROWAWAY" BAGS!!

Instead, you can buy a reusable big blue bag that holds as much as FIVE regular "throwaway" plastic bags.

REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE! IKEA has a great alternative to "throw-away" plastic bags- the IKEA Blue Bag. We've even reduced the price on this large, reusable and durable bag to 59 cents! One of these bags can replace hundreds of "throw-away" plastic bags and has lots of great uses! Use it for groceries, laundry, storing away kids toys, it even makes for a great beach bag...the uses are endless!

A big blue bag...a little green step.

SUNNAN light
GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
IKEA helps Enlighten Children
Help bring a little light in the dark for those in need. Starting June 1, 2009- for each SUNNAN solar cell powered lamp you buy, we'll donate one to UNICEF. These environmentally friendly lamps will go to children in developing countries, so they can read, write and study after sunset, even if their homes have no electricity.

Our SUNNAN lamp runs on solar cells that transform sunlight into electricity, it requires no electrical connections. This lamp will help you save energy and reduce your footprint. LED consumes 70% less energy and has at least 4 times longer life than incandescent bulbs in similar decorative lighting. These lamps come with three rechargeable AA 1.2V batteries for solar cell driven products, it takes about 9 hours to recharge and will last for approximately 4 hours.

Enlighten your life and that of a child!
