Alright, Non-Toxic Kids readers it is time for another giveaway. I know you love 'em. This one is from an outdoor gear online shop called Two Knobby Tires, which carries all sorts of outdoor gear and apparel, including gear to get out there with your kids.
This giveaway is for a 4 pack of ChicoBag reusable shopping bags. Features include:
*ChicoBags are easy to carry because of their handles and can hold up to 25 lbs (e.g., 1 gallon of milk is 7 lbs)
*ChicoBags are made of strong, durable woven polyester that is long lasting and recyclable by ChicoBag
*ChicoBags are easy to open and stuff back into the small built in pouch; no special folding is required
*ChicoBags should be machine washed cold and hung to dry; they come with a one-year manufacturer warranty
*ChicoBags weigh 1.5 oz, are 3"x4" as a pouch, and are 18" x 14.5" when expanded
We all know it WAY better for the environment to bring reusable bags to the grocery store. In case you need convincing, here are some statistics (thanks to the Two Knobby Tires website):
"Single-use paper and plastic bags cause environmental damage and use up 32% of landfill space because they can take up to 1000 years to decompose. Further, the average American uses between 300 and 700 plastic bags per year with 100 billion plastic shopping bags consumed in the United States annually. Cutting single-use bag waste in half would reduce our oil consumption by more than 2,000 barrels a day and keep 73,000 tons of trash out of landfills."
These bags are much smaller and stuff-able then my big canvas ones. You could throw these in your car and use them when needed, and they wouldn't take up a lot of space.
So, charming readers, for a chance to win post a comment here by March 6, with your email address (Don't forget that! Many folks did forget during the last giveaway.) Please tell me why you need these bags and I will select a winner by March 6. Good luck!

I have a few reusable bags but these look SOO much better (and more stylish too!)...love to try these!
I love the thought of having more reusable bags. I NEED them because they're compact!! I love the idea of being able to carry them in the tiny pouches... I usually have 2 kids w/ me on shopping trips and minimal is me!
My reply didn't include my email address.... OOPS!! I need these bags because they're minimize my stuff to carry... since Im always carrying 2 kids with me into the stores!! I love reusable bags, and these are just my style and size!

I know that it's horrible of me, but I'm totally guilty of forgetting my bags when I go to places like Target, or places anywhere other than the grocery store. All of my shopping bags are crumpled up and various sizes and are a pain to drag around with a toddler. And what's worse is that the people at Target, no matter how much I remind them, will put 2 items per bad, leaving me with 7 bags to carry out. It drives me mad. I've been on the lookout for a decent sized bag that's easy to store.
So, sign me up please.

This is an awesome giveaway for me. I love (and need) them because they fit back into a pouch, which is perfect for someone like me who always forgets to grab mine from the trunk. This way, I could keep them in my mama bag or in the front seat. =)

AWESOME! One in each of our cars, and one for each of the kids to carry their goodies every time we leave the house. I can get rid of my huge "mommy bag" and teach them some lessons on planning, packing and responsiblity!

We have a few reusable bags, but SO OFTEN FORGET THEM AT HOME! Grrr! If we had a few extra, we'd keep them in the cars so we'd always have a few... and we'd make sure to put them back too! ;)
I use my reusable bags all the time but just got a hole in one so some new ones are in need!
Don't want to miss a freebie :)

I would like to win the Chico bags; I use them every time I go shopping. I also use them for my children’s diaper bags, when I give a gift e.g. birthdays and holidays. Since I always seem to be giving them away it would be nice to get a few myself.
Thanks,

with 2 toddlers and a lazy greyhound, i am always in need of extra help lugging things around. i have a few reusable bags, but these look so handy and easy to always carry around. thnaks for the great giveaway offer!
I already have reusable bags (which I use!) but I would like these bags to give to my friends who are "on the fence" environmentalists and need a push in the right direction. linda.maumelle@greenirene.com
I have a few of the big canvas bags so I'd love to try these. Being more compact, I can always throw them in my purse.
I have some reusable bags, but they're all cloth (bulky) and different sizes. It would be great to have several that are lightweight, more water resistant and match. Thanks for the chance to win! ccmailnc at yahoo dot com
I NEED these bags so I can keep them in my purse for those quickie shopping stops that always seem to pop up when I don't have my bigger bags along.
