Save 50% With Cloth Bag



The biggest department store of Thailand will begin to give a 50% discount for the customers who bring the cloth bag to shopping in the store tomorrow.

Sujit Busarakum , the manager of Green Paradise Department Store said that his store will give a 50% discount for his customers, if the customers bring the cloth bag to shopping instead of the plastic bag. But if the customers do not bring their bag, the store will charge 10 Baht for 1 plastic bag. This promotion has no end, and it can used all over 13 branches of his store.

Sujit said that this promotion was happened according to the global warming issue. This problem is getting worse every day.  So, he thought about this promotion in order to help the earth from this trouble.

“I don’t care if the policy buy 10 Baht for 1 plastic bag is too greedy for some people. I just want to help the earth as much as I can. And this way is the best way that I can think of. It makes profit to both human and nature.” Said Sujit.

This promotion was supported by the Green World, the organization about the environment in Thailand. Dr.Udom Somboon, the lead of the organization said that “this is the good sign for a business sector about the awareness of the environment. This department store is a good example of a company which really care about the environment. Not just telling us that they love the world, but do nothing to help the world to be better like other companies.”

  3. Similar in Germany, people bring their own bags for shopping and if they don't they have to buy the plastic bags as well :)
