About [Edit]
Born and raised on the shores of Southern California comes a grassroots organization called “Reusethisbag.com.” RTB’s founding members make up is that of your typical every day Americans who were born and raised amongst the thriving surf culture that rules the sand in southern California.
“We are surfers, waiters, executives, artists, designers, bartenders and just about every walk of life you can imagine. You don’t have to be an environmentalist to want to help the Earth!” says Doug Lober, President. “We started the company as a way to give back and help the environment! We all grew up here in California and have seen plastic bags on the beach and in the water for years! Recently I was running on the beach and found 6 plastic bags during my mile and a half trip.”
“Other than that there isn’t much one person alone can do to make a significant impact on this crazy world. But... if we spread the word about the importance of reusing our grocery bags, work together, and somehow this movement catches on, the resulting benefit to the Earth is going to be huge! We are talking millions of gallons of fresh water saved, millions of gallons of fuel saved, and hundreds of thousands of acres of forest land saved every year! If we accomplish that, then I guess we have done our job.”
