I'm so happy to hear this! We're on island now so I will be buying one of their cloth bags to take home. I travel everywhere with my reusable bags and encourage others to do so as well. And, remember, they aren't just for groceries either. Thanks for posting Pia.

Great to hear this. I have brought a few cloth bags the last few times we've visited and you know you can really fit more in those bags than the plastic ones anyway! Much more durable. I like the ones with the longer straps that you can put on your shoulder. I'd like to get a STARFISH one or two the next time we are on island.

These are a lovely way to reuse...

"Friends of the National Park, in collaboration with Yelena Rogers Photography created a project to provide Reusable Grocery Bags to St. Johnians and visitors of the island. Bags feature beautiful images of Trunk Bay on one side and Cinnamon Bay on the other! You can get one for free tomorrow Friday April 22 from 9am-12 noon at the Earth Day Environmental Fair. Fair will be held at the ball field next to the National Park Visitors Center in Cruz Bay."

As I understand it, these bags will also be available at the Friends of the Park office with a donation, while supplies last.
