Celebrate Sustainable Energy Day in Wellesley!

SnackTAXI $6.99 sml / $8.99 lg

SnackTAXI snack size and sandwich size pouches.We love snackTAXIs – they’re little and cute and reusable and… well, owner Erin Kelly-Dill of Plainfield, MA explains it best:

“I invented SnackTAXIs way back in 2003 as a way to stem the tide of plastic ziplock bags that flowed from our house to the landfill when our 3 kids started school! We pack over 500 lunches every year, and had definitely fallen prey to the easy appeal of the ziplock bag.

SnackTAXIs are easy too – really! They are made in our home-based workshop by talented (and fun!) local sewers – we are committed to keeping our business local, and will never outsource our labor.”

As our way of joining the celebration this Saturday, September 24 of “Sustainable Energy Day” in Wellesley, we will be offering 20% off all of our snackTAXI bags, regular $6.99 for snack size and $8.99 for sandwich size. SnackTAXIs can be washed by hand or machine and come in so many patterns! So pick some up today and curb your plastic baggy use.
