With the holiday season in full force, the Micronesia Islands Nature Alliance is giving the community a chance to win exciting prizes through their Plastic Bag Challenge 12 Days of Giveaways.<\/p>\n
From now through Dec. 30, 2014, people who use any type of reusable or eco-friendly bag at any grocery store and snap a photo of themselves using it at the checkout counter can enter MINA\u2019s Plastic Bag Challenge 12 Days of Giveaways for a chance to win one of the daily prizes, and all qualifying participants will receive a reusable travel mug. They must post their photo on MINA\u2019s Facebook page with a caption #iChooseToReuse. <\/p>\n
According to program manager Becky Furey, \u201cthe Plastic Bag Challenge partners with businesses and aims to reduce the amount of plastic bags that end up in the environment. They are one of the most commonly littered items in the CNMI. With the community\u2019s support, we can reduce plastic pollution on land and sea. MINA wants to reward those that refuse plastic bags at the checkout counter. We encourage everyone to be more environmentally conscious during this holiday shopping season.\u201d<\/p>\n
