IKEA San Diego Environmental Efforts

Every dollar plant a tree
SPONSOR OUR PLANT A TREE EVENT
Every dollar plants a tree!
IKEA has partnered up again with American Forest in an effort to continue working towards our goal of having an overall positive impact on people and the environment.
Planting trees is a low cost way to remove carbon dioxide from our air. Trees cool our cities and reduce our energy use. A donation through IKEA to the American Forest, is a great way to help the environment. Every dollar you donate will plant 1 tree in the right place for the right reason.

Our Home, the earth is the most important place! You can make your donation at IKEA when you checkout.

"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.
