About Boomerang Bags (website)
In 2018, our Bay View location will be introducing Boomerang Bags; a grassroots community driven global movement of reusable bags. Bags are sewn by volunteers using donated fabric and cloth and are free for customers to use and bring back (like a boomerang). The goal is to reduce plastic (and paper) bags and engaging our great co-op community.
