Students and their families will ‘Start Counting Change' with reusable grocery bags at Shaw’s Supermarkets this fall.
MY ECO is launching an initiative in September 2013, supported by Shaw’s Supermarkets, to increase the use of reusable bags at checkout. Shaw’s is the first supermarket in Massachusetts to join the innovative MY ECO challenge and will provide an incentive and reward in the form of donations to local schools and charities when customers shop with their own bags. By simply scanning a code at checkout, the customer tracks reuse and banks the donation on behalf of their school. If 100 families sign up to support their school and shop each week at Shaw’s, they can raise over $3,000, just by shopping with their own bags. In addition, they would keep 100,000 single use bags out of landfills. Shoppers can now sign up for free at www.getmyeco.com.
Register you school or charity at http://www.getmyeco.com/newPartnerRegistration.action and Start Counting Change.

About Shaw’s
Shaw's New England roots were firmly planted in 1860, when George C. Shaw opened his first store in Portland, Maine. A few years later, another native New Englander, Maynard A. Davis, opened his first 'Public Markets' in Brockton and New Bedford Massachusetts.
Together, these two men sowed the seeds that would one day become Shaw's Supermarkets, Inc. And over the past 150 years, their growth can be directly attributed to the ingenuity of these two men and their belief in offering quality products and quality service.
Today, Shaw's® and Star Market® continue to thrive, employing approximately 25,000 associates in Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont.
