EARTH DAY-MORE THAN JUST A DAY AT MARIA LUISA

You all know how much we at Maria Luisa care about our environment, so it’s no
surprise to hear that for us, Earth Day is more than just a single day.
That commitment to protecting our environment is at the core of our philosophy,
something perhaps best evidenced by our “Say NO! to the Bag” initiative. Our reusable
Maria Luisa market bags are a signature item for us, one that we hope you proudly use
(and if not, don’t worry as you’ll see by reading on).

Where do you take your ML tote?

• Also under way is our “Say No! to the Bag” initiative contest. This is another
interactive campaign, with entries to be sent via Instagram and Facebook. Simply snap a
photo to show “Where do you take your purple ML reusable tote?” Do you BYO-bag to
the grocery store or the gym or the park? Let us know. Tag @marialuisanyack and use
the hashtags “#saynotothebagpledge” in your posts.  

TAKE THE PLEDGE

(And help our
earth even further: If you’re merchant, employee or volunteer in a retail setting, pledge
to ask “Did you bring your own bag today?” If the reply is no, then ask if they need a
bag. (You’ll be surprised how many people will say “no” and tuck the purchase into
their tote or backpack). And finally, as a consumer, recommit to our initiative: “I pledge
to forgo a bag and bring my own bag when shopping.” Share the news and we can truly
create change!

As you can see, we really do care about you, our customers, and the Earth – our home!

And don’t forget, if you’re not already a subscriber to our blog – sign up to follow us by
Earth Day and you’ll be entered into our Earth Day Blog Contest – the winners will receive their choice of a Maria Luisa re-usable market bag or our signature upcycled ML
drinking glass.

Happy (everyday) Earth Day to all!
