Coppell Earth Fest
Coppell, TX
Chica Bolsita teamed up with Girl Scout troop #8909 to share our blue reusable bags with families interested in the health of the environment. We learned that many families were kicking their plastic bag habits at the grocery store. We gave everyone a little reminder that they could use our bags everywhere they shop! We hope our "Save a Turtle" bags get them rolling.
