Family Matters

Growing up I saw how my grandparents and parents reused paper bags to help make home projects easier, even inventing a small wooden frame to make the bag sturdier. As plastic bags took over the global market, I became increasingly concerned about their environmental impact.

I decided to recreate the small frame my family always used for paper bags, and cut plastic bags out of my life. I began giving the frames to my friends and the idea spread. Today, this small frame is known as a “hello bag” and it made its way to you.

Until this moment we were strangers, but now we are connected by our shared belief that small choices can add up to big changes for the planet. Together we are wasting less and saving more. Thank you for being here, it’s great to know you!
