program in 2005. In 2006, well, we'll see...
View the bags
from Send in One Bag 2004
Deadline:
Bags had to be received no later than June 10, 2004.
The Earth Day Groceries Project invited all participating organizations to send in one beautifully
decorated bag in 2004 to be a permanent part of The Earth Day Groceries
Project. We asked for one bag that was "just too good" to
return to the store, one that was "the" perfect example of the
effort at a school, one that should be shared with the
World....
(note: the deadline
has passed to send in a bag for 2004, but if you're interested in
learning more, keep reading...)
Purpose:
The Earth Day Groceries Project (a nonprofit,
501c3 organization) is building a collection of bags to be included as
art to promote and spread the message of Earth Day. Possible uses
of the bags include:
-
A permanent traveling display,
suitable for viewing at museums or conferences
-
A project calendar
-
A project screen saver
-
A project PowerPoint presentation
-
A CD to promote the Project and Earth
Day
Promise:
The bag you send in WILL be used by the Project (assuming the artwork and writing is
appropriate and does not contain copyrighted artwork - like a picture of
Sponge Bob or Snoopy, for instance), and it will be seen by millions!
Procedure:
For now, start figuring out how you will
select "the" bag. Once the bag is selected and
signatures are collected, send it in! A
release form is below. Please keep in mind a few things:
-
the bag will not be returned and will
become the property of The Earth Day Groceries Project
-
the form will need to be signed by
the student artist, a parent/guardian, and a school representative
-
the artist's first name will be included in
the above-mentioned uses of the bag
Save or print out this page
for future reference, and keep an eye out for one bag from your school
that says it all!
