EQPD estimates one LastBag, when used weekly for groceries, can eliminate 600 single-use bags per year. For every 10 years when you say “no thank you” to single-use bags, you can save a 42 gallon barrel of oil (plastic), a dozen 20 year old tress and 5000 gallons of water (paper). Your purchase of a Guidestone’s LastBag provides 100% of retail profit directly to supporting Guidestone’s programs. Thank you for making a difference for a healthy community and a vibrant agricultural future! Read the full article
