CHICOBAG'S NEW 2008 TRICK OR TREAT BAGS HELP GREEN YOUR HALLOWEEN
Student-designed bag reinvents holiday tradition


    CHICO, CA, October 08, 2008 /California News Articles/ -- Trick or treaters can now put the "eek" into their eco-friendly celebration by toting ChicoBag's limited edition 2008 Trick or Treat bag. These Halloween-themed bags feature the design of a happy skeleton dutifully watering a pumpkin patch during full moon. The self-contained pouch displays the message "Keep our Earth Boo-tiful" so trick or treaters can continue to spread the green theme while making their house to house rounds.

This year, ChicoBag realized there was no one better to create their annual trick or treat bag design than the user. They decided to hold a nationwide contest for the best green-spirited Halloween design and invited students nationwide to participate. The contest was co-sponsored by Green Halloween, a grassroots movement that is helping families and communities nationwide start new, healthier holiday traditions. After combing through many fantastic designs, the winning artist was Estefania Vargas, a 12 year old student who not only bears the pride of having her design enjoyed by thousands on Halloween, but received a host of eco-friendly prizes.

Each ChicoBag Trick or Treat bag is lightweight but highly durable, machine washable, holds up to 25 pounds of candy and goodies and can be used year after year. After the celebration is over, the bags can be stuffed back into their self-contained pouch for storage so they only take up the same size space as the average cell phone. At only $5.00 each, the bags are also easy on the green in your wallet. They are available at select retailers and online at www.chicobag.com and www.greenfeet.com.

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of each bag will benefit TreeSwing, a charity that promotes healthy eating and lifestyle habits for children.
