Reusable Bag Challenge

Epsteins Corporate Sustainability Implementation Committee, known internally as the Green Team, recently handed out to all of our Chicago employees a reusable grocery/shopping bag to help promote and encourage sustainability in our everyday lives. These Epstein reusable bags are a great way to help divert potentially thousands of plastic bags from the waste stream.

Our Green Team also thought that a fun way to jumpstart this ecological lifestyle was to introduce the Green Team Reusable Bag Challenge! A competition that involves our employees taking selfies while using our bag while at a grocery store or picking up lunch and then posting it to either Facebook, Instagram or Twitter. Each selfie posted using the hashtag #EpsteinGreenLiving will then be entered into a raffle.

Here's Epstein's Yvonne Wojnar showing how its done!

The Raffle grand prize winner will receive a $100 gift certificate to Avec, an award winning Paul Kahan restaurant. Avec is a Guaranteed Green restaurant supported by the Green Chicago Restaurant Coalition and a 2 star Certified Green Restaurant by the Green Restaurant Association.

This Reusable Bag Challenge runs from now until Friday, December 11th and the winner will be selected on Monday, December 14th so stay tuned to find out who our lucky winner is!
