To celebrate Earth Day I am using reusable shopping bags to grocery shop for Easter dinner and I am also not stopping to get my usual morning coffee. I will use my travel mug all day! ๐ Happy Earth Day!
As much shopping as I do I would love to show of the the Viva La Vera Earth Day Shopping Tote as I do my shopping ! I just Love my Vera !!!!
Trying to celebrate earth day-but the weather isn’t cooperating. I had plans to work in the garden…weeding, moving some butterfly bushes and cutting the asparagas. It might have to wait until the sky clears or perhaps I’ll put on a raincoat as the forecast doesn’t show much promise for about a week. ๐ฆ
Love it! I could always use a new one!!
To celebrate Earth Day, we cleaned out our house of old clothes and household goods. We are donating them to a local charity. I also use reusable shopping bags. Additionally, we cut down some trees in the yard and are chipping them into mulch for the flower beds.
I love reusable shopping bags. They are much more durable and definitely cuter than those plastic bags!
Today on earth day we are out enjoying God’s beautiful earth. It would be so fun and cute to carry an adorable reusable tote to store our games while we play outside!
This beautiful bag would should brighten up this dreary drizzly day.
I love the Earth Day bag!
I’m headed to the market to buy some herbs, so I can grow them in my garden. That way, I can avoid buying the herbs that are packaged in plastic and glass because they hurt the environment. The less you consume, the more you save the Earth! I live by that saying every day! Happy Earth Day, everyone! ๐
this would go great with all my other Vera re-usables!
love the bag. use reusable bags when buying groceries, collecting mail and carrying misc stuff different places. we need to do all we can to help save this great earth that we live on. i try to recycle what i can. happy earth day
I enjoy my Vera Bradley handbags and get so many comments on them and can’t wait to get the reusable shopping bag to carry grocerys, books, and my fresh bakery in it for those great shopping days.
Libby- You know Starbucks is giving away coffee if you bring in your own mug today! So you can still get your morning coffee and save the earth!! ๐
I just love the reusable Vera bag i will you use it when we go to the grocery store and mall in honor of earth day every day. I have also stopped using water bottles and have purchased the reusable ones for the entire family. So wish there was a vera bradley one!
Great! I purchased a Brita filter water pitcher and ditched all the plastic water bottles I was carrying around with me. Now I just fill up at home and carry stainless steel!
I, too, will celebrate earth day by using reusable shopping totes – would love the Vera! Also, no longer use disposable cups for coffee at work, use a mug!
I always keep reusable totes in my car for shopping. I would love a new one as they are getting worn out! By making coffee at home and using a reusable coffee filter and mug I am saving trees. Newspaper subscriptions are available on the Internet to save paper. Old clothes that are not in condition to be given away can be used as rags instead of paper towels. My family also plants a vegetable garden and trees where we can to help the Earth. If we all make a small changes in what we do and how we do things Earth will be a more beautiful and healthy place.
Don’t forget to stop by starbucks with your travel mug for a free fill up!! Earth Day rocks!!
To celebrate Earth Day this year I am planting a tree and continuing use of reusable shopping bags and drinking containers. Every little bit helps!
Love the Vera bags!
I’m going to use my Vera reusable tote to take Easter gifts to my niece and nephews so I can recycle the plastic bags from the original purchase.
Every day is Earth Day for my family. We follow the three R’s and try to do our part to save our little patch of the planet!! I love the new Vera prints for spring and summer!! I couldn’t resist getting Viva la Vera flip flops for my daughter and a new eyeglass case for myself!! ๐
To celebrate Earth Day, my family and I are turning off all lights and electronic devices (T.V., computer etc.) for an hour, and we are all planting some new flowers in the backyard that we bought, which is fun for the whole family! Happy Earth Day:)
I use reusable bags for everything – grocery shopping, packing items to take to the cabin, storing items in my vehicle. I always keep a couple of bags in my vehicle in case I need them for a spur of the moment shopping excursion. It would be great to have a bag that is CUTE – like the Viva la Vera bag. My sister would continue to tease me, because everything I own is “flowers.” We need to use reusable bags to save our beautiful earth.
starbucks is giving away free coffee or tea today when you bring in a reuseable mug!
Hope to plan new Iris rhizomes and rose tree to celebrate Earth Day. Love the new tote…
My grandchildren are visiting for Easter and I gave them each a reusable cup and straw which can be washed and reused. I also am using my Cancer awareness coffee cup. We are snacking off of washable plates. Happy Easter to all!
Hoping to get out and do some gardening today!! Happy Earth Day!! ๐

Reusing~Recycling~Reducing trash is part of my everyday activity, everyday! My family has been recycling trash for over fifteen years now, and we now take 90% of our weekly trash to the towns recycling center. I enjoy reusing small things in my art and craft work. A goal I have this year, is to begin a basic composting system in the backyard.
Reduce, reuse, recycle, in style with Vera!
Happy Earth Day~ I use reusable bags when shopping! I keep a few in my trunk, this way I always have them for unscheduled shopping trips ๐ Thanks Vera ~
I use recycleable bags, too, and mine are Vera ones. Love them!
Love the Earth Day Bag!!!
We recycle at home and at my job everyday. This whole week we collected anything that can be recycled. I work at a school, so it was good for the kids to see that. It if important for the future.
My kindergarten class and I celebrated Earth Day today by going out and picking up trash around the school campus. I also used a recycleable bag to buy my groceries today but, the handle broke. I really would LOVE to have this bag as a replacement!
When it’s time, I just grab & go,
I use these bags for stuff I stow
Clubs, kids or groups I’m in
Spot the pattern for where I’m headed
Arriving unprepared’s no longer dreaded
I would LOVE to have a shopping tote!
We are heading to Lowe’s to get a new tree for our new house!
We are planting all day today… with the kids, they are out of school!
Cute tote!
To celebrate Earth Day, I’m dropping off paper and plastic donations that I’ve collected from our extended family. I also havr a Goodwill donation to drop off. I’ll be stopping by Starbucks with my reusable tumbler to get my free coffee too !
We recycle all cans/bottles/plastics that we can. And I always take some re-usable shopping bags into the grocery store so that we do not have to end up with more of their plastic bags.
We recycle cans, plastic, cardboard, paper, and glass. I love re-usable shopping bags and would love to add this one to my collection.
Would love to own that pretty shopping tote!

Earth day is also my sister’s birthday so we celebrate with cake!
A perfect Earth Day giveaway!
I’m going to take our plastic bags to a local store for recycling. Then making 1 huge trip into town rather than break my errands up into 2 days. That tote is so cute-I would love to bring that into the store that I work at!
I would love to win this tote. It seems I never have enough totes with me me when I go shopping, and none are as stylish as this one. It would make shopping a lot more fun.
In honor of Earth Day I will be planting some spring flowers.
I love it.
We are planting our garden!
Love it! I love reusable shopping totes, and of course, this one is especially cute.
We try to do as much as we can all the time! Like recycling, or conserving water and electricity! We don’t do as much as we should, but we try! And I would love to use that shopping tote! Viva la Vera is so beautiful!
I try to teach my students by example- I use a reusable water bottle, bring in my lunch in a reusable bag (a Let’s Do Lunch of course!), and recycle all of our old papers instead of throwing them away.
reusable shopping bags, water bottle, taking the rail to work
We use reusable water bottles and a Brita pitcher instead of buying bottled water.

Going to the new Vera Bradley store today in Annapolis, MD! Can’t wait! ๐
Has anyone ever used the shopping tote? How well do they hold up? I am sick of the flimsy grocery store totes
I’m not printing any paper at work!
We are hanging out at home today so no gas will be used, the blinds are open so the lights will be off. Also we have been doing a much better job of using reusable shopping bags and I’ve starting making my coffee at home and using my travel mug instead of to-go cups. I’d love to add this bag to my shopping trips!
I’m celebrating Earth Day by planting a tree and giving back to the Earth! ๐ I’d also love to celebrate it by carrying this adorable tote!
To celebrate earth day,I am recylcling cans for Habitat for Humanity. I will drop off my plastic bags when going to the grocery store at the collection bin. Having this tote would be perfect for keeping it in my vehicle when I go to the store so there would no need to use the plastic grocery bags when I have to stop for a few items when checking out. I know that tote would be a hit when packing items for taligating this fall for Purdue Football.
My plan is to buy one of the re-usable water bottles today, the type with a built-in filter. Using it will eliminate the need for me to buy bottled water by the case, saving money, and eliminating all of those bottles in the landfill.
Such a cute print!
Today is am Shopping at the outlets using my reusable bags. I am also carpooling with friends to dinner.
We are in the midst of making musical props, and to help the Earth, we are re-purposing as many things as possible! Scrap wood from a building project that was going to be thrown away by the contractor? Perfect for building stairs!
Would love to win this!

I have been using re-usable / recycle bags for years. Since way before it was the “in” thing to do. I always say – save the plastic, I brought my own bag! I would love to add a pretty shopper tote to my collection of recycle bags to add some bling to my shopping excursions.
We are Earth conscious every day. We do not buy bottled water anymore, we purchased a 6 stage filter for the house instead. I also use reusable shopping bags.

Every year I set new goals or myself in Earth Day. This year I’m going to try to never take a plastic bag and to always recycle more than I throw away. (I’m also trying really hard to make the move to all natural cleaning and personal care products.)
Use shreeded paper for easter baskets instead of grass
At our house we reuse various food containers for storage of leftovers. Our recycling bin is just outside the back door for all glass, paper and plastic items. We have a wonderful compost pile that we throw all organic waste into and used to fertilize our flower beds and vegetable garden. We always have our “go green” shopping bags when grocery shopping, flee marketing, and at the mall clothes shopping. I really LOVE that Vera Bradley has made such a stylist shopper tote in honor of Earth Day! THANKS!
We are celebrating by dropping off our recycle to the donation center. And by taking our reusable grocery bags to the store. Sure would be nice to have another reusable tote!!

to celebrate earth day we are taking our two month old son to our local garden store to pick out a tree to celebrate him and his birthday. We had a difficult pregnancy that landed me in the hospital for 2 months and him in the NICU for 1 month. To celebrate all the hard work and pain and struggle we went through we thought it would be fun to watch the tree grow as our son grows. One day when he is older and left our home we will be able to look at the tree and think of him.
Happy Earth Day, giving up on plastic bags all together! Love the vera reusable bags!
I LOVE reusable shopping totes, will use some today to get some groceries!
To celebrate Earth Day, my six year old daughter suggested we pick up litter, so I am picking her up a little early to do just that. Also, I have a wonderful Earth Day Mix to enjoy with Jack Johnson, Norah Jones and more.
I am taking time today (and everyday) to teach my daughter about the importance of taking care of our Earth. Today will be recycling and picking up litter in the neighborhood.
This looks like a great way to be eco-friendly! These bags look sturdy and well made, compared to the other cloth ones.
I am spending the day with my 4 daughters learning about ways to help the earth.
We will be using our reusable totes
I am spending the afternoon with my daughters and granddaughter – going grocery shopping w/all our re-usable bags – if it was not raining we would have planted a small evergreen in the backyard to help with our wonderful earth. Color Easter eggs for Sunday.

For Earth Day, My family and I are going to finish raking the leaves in the backyard and work on making a compost pile. With Spring here, I am in awe of the color and leaves. Real Natural Beauty. Then we are off to plant our herb garden to grow our own herbs. Happy Earth Day!
What a great way to look stylish and help the planet!
Great idea! I use totes to cut down on all of the plastic shopping bags from the store!
I use reusable bags everyday when I go shopping at the grocery store, and all stores.
I make sure to recycle everyday and to try to purchase products that do not have a lot of packaging. Turn off the computer and electronics that are not being used so they don’t suck up energy.
I always use reusable shopping bags. Always. We are also trying harder than normal to help the kiddos to remember to turn off lights (or not use them during the day) and to reduce the use of napkins and paper towels.
Always use the reusable bags, my college kids keep taking them back to college, so I can really use this one. also, my daughters and i LOVE your products !

Kerry,
I loved the Lorax and loved it as a kid. I bought the movie and book for my kids because it was such a wonderful book!! Enjoy!!
Today, my kids and I are cleaning up the litter around our neighborhood. It is sad to watch people just drop it on the ground! My oldest (10) yr old just came home from the hospital (sick and in the hospital over spring break, yuck) so she will wear her earth day shirt but no picking up litter for her! WE will use newspaper in our easter baskets instead of easter grass. I wish we could make every day Earth Day.
Love the shopping bag – can’t wait to use it (for more than groceries).
We use reusable water bottles and a Brita pitcher instead of buying bottled water.
I โค Vera Bradley!! Happy Earth day everyone!!!
We are staying home today and reusing what we have instead of buying new. We are also getting creative cooking with what is in the house instead of running out to buy ‘a few things’ because we don’t have everything for dinner. (We had a kitchen fire a couple weeks ago and had to throw out about 1/2 the pantry food.)
Earth day! ๐ We will continue to recycle, and we are changing all light bulbs to the enery-save type. Also, I got rags to clean with rather than paper towls. ๐
On this Earth Day I challenged my first graders to start recycling at home!
I LOVE the shoppers. I use them for everything from groceries, to taking towels to the pool, to storing library books. So many uses, …
Recycle , Reuse and Reduce the things I have!
I am going ALL digital today….no paper! It definitely is amazing how computer technology can save a tree!!
I didn’t know you had totes! I love it! I want it!
perfect earth day and every day bag! Love the colors! ๐
Would love that tote!
When my mom and I go to the store, no matter what store it is we use our reusable shopping bags. We hate plastic bags, if we don’t have our reusables we don’t use any bags. We try to stay away from them as much as we can! My family are huge recyclers, we recycle what ever we can! Love Earth Day!!!
I always use the recycle shopping totes and would love a Vera one.
I celebrate Earth Day everyday by recycling even though our township doesn’t require it and we need to take our recyclables to the township building to be put into the bins there. Getting the kids/husband to do this with me is more of a chore than the actual running around. We also use reusable water bottles and lunch bags all the time.
Today I will love the Earth by dropping off paper at the recycling center. Since it’s just down the street from my house we are going to load up the wagon and walk. No need to use the car!!!
I will be using my travel mug and reusable shopping bags.
My daughters and I are going to use old egg cartons to grow new flowers for my garden! Happy Earth day!
We are recycling bottles, can, glass, newspaper and cardboard at our local recycling drop-off. While there we always donate several bags to the Goodwill. We will also be supporting Earth Day by using our reusable mugs to enjoy coffee/tea all day long.
I am celebrating Earth Day by letting all of customers know that instead of plastic bags they should use reusable bags!! Earlier this month my family participated within the Pride Clean Up and we picked up the trash on the sides of our road and drooped it off at the local recycling center, even though it was earlier we did it in honor of Earth Day! ๐ happy earth day!
I’m going to plant new perennials in my garden and use my reusable totes all day today!
Living in the Ithaca, NY area, every day is like Earth Day so there should be some interesting Earth Day celebrations going on today. We try to use reusable shopping bags every time we go to the store and most of the places to eat have compostable “plasticware” and compost bins, so it’s easy to be earth friendly here
I have my trunk loaded to recycle Monday, have plastic shopping bags to recycle at the store tomorrow, I will take plastic food storage containers to my Sister’s so I can bring home Easter leftovers!
I would love one of these!
Celebrated Earth Day by helping my son with a recycling project for school – they had a contest to see who could bring in the most plastic/aluminum for recycling. Also collecting all my grocery/shopping bags to drop off at a local charity.
I’d love to win a reusable bag that show’s my Vera style.
No need to use the car today…Im walking wherever I need to go…and along the way, we are collecting unsightly trash!
I celebrate Earth Day everyday. I recycle both at home and at work. I turn off my computer and monitor every night. I take my own bottled water to work. I use my own bags at the grocery store and when I shop at the mall, even when I get funny looks from the sales people. With my first grandchild due in September, it is my obligation, and my honor, to make this a beautiful plant for him/her.
I’m going to participate in a neighborhood clean up!!!
To celebrate Earth Day our school is having a Campus Walk. We are asking students if possible to walk or bike to school and then we will be walking the campus to see a variety of “green” projects going on!

To celebrate Earth Day, I am just trying to get the message out that EVERYDAY should be Earth Day ๐ Also, I took the bus from a commuter lot to work, used my reusable mug @ the coffee shop this morning, and packed my lunch in reusable/washable containers instead of plastic bags! GO EARTH DAY!
To celebrate Earth Day, I will try to sell customers a reusable grocery bag to pack their groceries in and for single orders I will ask if they need a bag for the item thus reducing the amount of plastic bags going out of the store that I work at.
Love this reuseable bag!!
Today we are buying each of our children trees to plant in our backyard! With their help of course!
I celebrate Earth Day everyday! I recycle all plastics, paper, cardboard, tin, aluminum, and glass, but most importantly, I use 100% cotton diapers on my babies. It is SO much better for our beautiful Earth!
Love Earth Day, and that sweet tote. Recycling is good for everyone!
We recycle all bottles, cans, carboard, magazines and newspapers. Would LOVE this bag to use when I shop!
This is so cute! I really need to get new shopping toes, mine are absolutely falling apart!
I love my Vera Bradley reusable shopping bags! I don’t shop anywhere without them. I would love to add this bag to my shopping entourage, it is gorgeous!!
For Earth Day my college is celebrating with picking up trash around campus and the city we are located in. The clubs I am a part of is running a program for planting trees, and donating the money to a local nursery. I can’t wait for all the activities we are doing, and helping the earth!
What a CUTE tote! I would absolutely even buy one! Thanks Vera!
My kiddos and I are going to prep our garden in between bouts of rain and get some planting done. We’re going to listen to Jack Johnson’s “Redue, Reuse, Recycle” on the way to the grocery store–they LOVE the Curious George Soundtrack! Taking our soda cans to the Habitat For Humanity drop box on the way to the store as well.
Would love to have that tote!!
We recycle everything we can. I use shopping bags when I go to the grocery store. I would LOVE to have a VB shopping bag, I love everything VB!
To celebrate Earth Day my to children and I (ages 4 and 5) are picking up trash around the neighborhood and planting Flowers for some of our neighbors! Its amazing how excited they are!!
What a beautiful bag.
Today for Earth Day we are taking the kids out to each pick out a new tree to plant.
Going to start my organic garden today!!! Also just continue to do what we do everyday to help conserve….reusable shopping bags and coffee mugs, sort our recycle stuff, etc…
To celebrate Earth Day I’m not going to buy gas and I’m going to use less water in the shower! I try to do things every day though to help like taking my own bags to the store! I even bought a Prius (I wanted to get green window paint and write ‘Happy Earth Day’ on it! LOL)
It’s a great bag to carry to the park, carry grocceries, and just help the earth! This is a great way to make sure the earth is going to be here longer. I would defenitly buy this bag!
One way I celebrate Earth Day everyday is by carrying my lunch in a reusable Vera Bradley lunch bag! My daughter has one too. We love them!
Love this bag! I am a faithful user of reusable bags. It feels good to be doing something for our environment and Vera Bradley makes it fashionable and fun, too!
vb sets a great example to all how important it is to leave the earth for our children and our grandchildren ..how appreciative we should be……
We will be carpooling today to conserve gas. Also, we will be using our reusable totes for shopping.
I would love to win this for my mother who is 82 years old and TOTES everything with her no matter where she goes. She would love it.
I will take a lovely walk and enjoy the springtime beauty of our great earth! If I happen to see any plastic bags flying around or cans strewn about, I will take them home for recycling!
We are trading in our plastic bags for reusable bags at the store today.
My daughter who is 4 years old is learning all about Earth Day at school. We had to minimize our electronic use (e.g. television watching) at night this whole week and she planted chives at school. She also learned all about recycling and now wants to do it at home, so this weekend we will be getting tubs to help sort our paper and plastic. How can you so “no” to that?? Happy Earth Day!
recycle recycle recycle!
We use aluminum water bottles, and try to take reusable bags to the supermarket.
I will be sure not to leave any water running. I will be using reusable shopping bags as usual for grocery shopping( the one shown would be a wonderful addition to my Collection.. Only using car when necessary.
And dropping off recyclables on my way grocery shopping (saves a trip and gas.)
I always use reuseable bags for food shopping and my lunch!
Happy Earth Day! I am going to clean my closet and recycle my clothes by bringing them to a homeless shelter.
I celebrate Earth Day everday by recycling at home and @ work.
Last night I finished making a Recycled tote for my daughter. It is made of Juice packs, Snack bags & Wrappers. Perfect timing considering today is earth day! Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!
My Earth-saving consciousness is stepping up a notch higher with greater intentionality wrt conservation throughout my entire day.
Love this Bag!!! Soooo Cute!
We use reusable shopping bags, recycle all of our plastic, glass, and paper and use travel mugs when we go for coffee. Plus I haven’t killed my trees in a while ๐
We reduce, reuse and recycle.
Cloth diapers – for this alone I should win. hahaha.
Re-usable drink bottles and coffee mugs.
Re-useable food storage.
R-useable shopping bags.

Thank God men cannot fly, and lay waste the sky as well as the earth.
I car pooled into work today! Happy Earth Day!
Great addition for the environmentally friendly! – would love to see a VB water bottle
We had an e-cycle event at work yesterday to celebrate! It was a great way to get rid of old electronic equipment. We also reuse paper and recycle plastics and cans. Go green! I’d love one of these totes!! I have one of the pink totes and use it along with other reusable totes when I go grocery shopping!!!
I love the reuseable totes! I always carry them in my car and use them for everything!
We recently built a new house, and in the short time we have been here we have planted 11 good sized trees in our yard, to help keep the area green. We recycle everything and always use reusable bags for grocery shopping, as well as shopping in general. We are changing out our standard incadescent light bulbs to the new cfl’s to save on energy. Our house has a high efficiency hot water heater and furnace, as well as a programmable thermostat. We do everything we can to save our natural resources, while at the same time reducing household bills, not just on Earth Day, but every day!
I will be taking my 3yo and 16month old boys to pick out seeds for the garden. We will take our reuseable totes to shop and will be making donation to Goodwill of toys they have outgrown but are still in good condition. You can’t teach them too early.
Would love to plant flowers and tress today, but instead looks like ill be watching it rain from the window at work!
I Love this give a way. It. is the perfect way to encourage recycling. I already try to recycle plastic bottles and I always use my plastic shopping bags for trash, yard sales and distributing girl scout cookies. I think this will also encourage all the young teens that love Vera to start now and help preserve their future resources.
I have two children – girls Maya is 8 and Hana is 4. My girls and I are going to be making bird Feeders for our backyard birds by recycling old Milk Cartons. We are also in the process of creating a garden so we can grow some of our own fruits and vegetables. We already recycle and my girls and I are always on the lookout for other Earth Friendly things to do such as cleaning up a shore or park.
I Love LOVE Love this re-useable bag.
Always looking for prettier ways to tote my goodies from the store!
We try and recycle all we can — Just planted 3 trees last week — 2 of them apples!
I will be using the eggshells from the bunny to compost in my garden. Also plan to use my reusable mug for tea from starbucks. Thanks for the chance at a bag.

we do all we can to recycle, reuse, etc….
I inspired a friend yesterday to use her reusable bags at the grocery store…..I have a bag full of them in my car, for every trip to town!
Recycle! Using resuable shoppers for groceries, not having my daily canned soda, using my reusable water bottle!
Our earth day celebrations actually happened this past weekend when we went to a local park and picked up garbage and had a paper recycling drive at our church. My husband is an intern pastor and today is Good Friday so that is our focus today but we are very earth conscious and use our reusable bags when we shop, try to buy locally, and recycle everything we can.
Happy Earth Day and yay for Vera reusable totes!
Very vintagey
For earth day we will be shutting off the lights. Also shopping with reusable bags!
I try to practice earth friendly habits everyday to set a good example for my kids. I hope that many resources will still be here for them and their families….
These are absolutely beautiful and a great way to help out the planet while looking so cute and stylish! LOVE Vera Bradley!
To celebrate Earth Day, I pick up bright orange vests, gloves and trash bags from out local department of transportation. I distribute all of the materials to my second grade students. We strap on all of our attire and walk all around the school grounds cleaning up others waste. I think it’s important to teach young children the importance of caring for the earth. This exciting event is actually the wrap up event done after a week if earth day activities. Happy Earth Day!
we recycle everyday not just today ๐ also use reusable grocery bags:) I’d love to win a new cuter tote!!
Happy Earth Day!! I LOVE all things Vera Bradley!! Thank you for being so earth conscious and making these beautiful bags for our daily use! Saving the planet one bag at a time!! ๐
My son and I are using reusable bags for shopping…and since he’s been learning about Captain Planet at school, when he sees litter on the ground, we have to stop and pick it up “because that saves the planet!”
I always recycle. Our city makes it so easy by using one bin for all recycleables and picking it up curb side. I always use reuseable shopping bags so I don’t end up with plastic. Love your Vera, tote.
I’ll be recycling as always and plan on buying my husband and I Brita water bottles today when we go shopping. Also, I rode my bike to work today….in the rain. ๐
I am getting free Starbucks in a reusable cup!
I’m celebrating Earth Day by cutting up unneeded large printed paper and using back for scrap paper
Love the tote!! Super cute! Today I’m celebrating Earth Day by doing crafts made with natural and recycled items. Making greeting cards and some scrapbooking layouts. I’m also planting some flowers in pots for my balcony(if the rain clears up!). I actually try to treat each day as Earth Day. I always use my refillable water bottle (Plus I just got a new one at the VBOS!) so that I don’t add to waste by throwing away plastic bottles. I recycle every day so this day is like every other in the recycle aspect! Celebrate the earth! Keep it clean and happy!!! Thanks Vera!

Love this reusable shopping bag….
Today I will do the things that I try to do every day…..Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. Next week when I head back to school, I have all kinds of Earth Day activities planned for my kindergartners. My goal is to spread the word using those three words..Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle….. Here is a quote that I wish we could all live by……
We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children. ~Native American Proverb
I will be using my reusable mug for coffee at Starbucks free this morning instead of tossing a paper one. No more buying water at the grocery either going out to buy a reusable water bottle too! Love the print on this bag by the way! Just got my first Vera bag this week so exciting to win one too!
Today is a beautiful day – Spring flowers are popping out from the ground and we can celebrate new life. I will celebrate today by picking up trash on the side of the road around my place of employment.

I love this! I also love giveaways ๐
Hoping to take my kids for a walk in the woods after school but it is a little chilly here in Vermont today
I recently just started to use re-usable bags for my grocery shopping. I have a 6 month old baby, and have found them to be useful for many things. My husband recently talked his boss into buying them in bulk for his company’s customers. They handed them out as an encouragement to recycle!! Happy Earth Day!!
I am hoping to get to Lowe’s to get a tree to plant if all goes well! I use my own bags too and leave them in the car so they will be handy for unexpected shopping trips!

We are avid recyclers and try to encourage others to do the same. We will be planting today and be thankful for all the beauty our earth offers us every day!!
Recycle everything you can!
I’m celebrating Earth day by planting a few dozen plants and volunteering to help clean a families 9 acre property. It was abadoned and needs love. They have a stream on the property that needs lots of love and that what my weekend is all about. This is my earth so I’m going to do what I can, not just today “Earth Day” but everyday.
I try to incorporate Earth Day every day and the V B tote would go great with my collection!!!

We planted trees and flowers/plants at my daughters school yesterday in honor of Earth day and we are the 1st Green School in NC.
I celebrate Earth Day everyday! There is nothing like teaching your children to respect the environment. Wether it is by recycling, using canvas totes for shopping, or picking up trash it becomes normal for them. It is something you can take pride. Adding a tote to assist our efforts would be great!โป
In our home, Earth Day is every day! Today is the day that our family gets so happy seeing others join in to make this Earth the place it deserves to be! My daughters, ages 5&8, don’t know any other way… reusable totes at the store, recycle bins in the garage, hand~me~down clothes in the drawers. It is the life of the young generation… thank you to you, Vera Bradley, for making it sooo cute too! Happy Earth Day!
On the way to Chicago for the weekend and I’m taking the train with my daughter instead of driving. We wil definetly be shopping for Vera Bradley!

We try and recycle everything we can at our house! And these reusable totes are a great way to help!
I celebrate Earth Day all the time when I shop by taking my own re-usable totes! I hope it’s helping…
We recycle cans and bottles. We use our own shopping bags at the grocery store. I have 3 kids in the same school and receive 3 sets of paper for each announcement or upcoming event. I recycle the paper by reusing it, either as printer paper, or for the kids to draw on the other side. Every bit helps!
I can never have too many shopping totes! Save those plastic and paper bags!
We will be using our reusable totes when we go shopping. Our family of 4 uses our water bottles over. We recycling together and we will also be going through our neighborhood and picking up all garbage to make our street and earth clean.

Today in honor of Earth day (and a newborn baby in the house), I’m going to clean the house with homemade cleaning products. I will use white vinegar and water for a cleaning spray, baking soda instead of scouring chemicals, and lemon juice and a little olive oil for furniture polish! Hoping to save money, have a safer environment and cut on waste! Happy Earth Day!
I’d love to win one of the shopping totes, please! Love your stuff! I have a closet full of Vera!!! ๐
Very cute tote – looks very durable. I love using my reuseable totes, they go with me every time I shop and when I unload they immediately go back in the car for next time! ๐ Will be using one today!

Get a rain barrel to collect water. You can then use that to water gardens and lawns
Love reusable bags – I use them all the time.
My family is known as the ‘recycling gurus’! My kids place EVERYTHING in the bin, sometimes the garbage is EMPTY as a result. It’s so fun to make it a game and try to keep our trash the smallest bag on the street! I am dedicated to increasing my reusable capabilities in ANY way possible, so today being Earth Day is just another day to spread the word to others that haven’t begun – we do it EVERY DAY …. this bag is so pretty and right in line with my addiction to VERA! (by the way, I also recycle those, and share my previous still-in-great-shape Veras with my daughter, and friend’s little daughters so they too are participating in recycling!) I would ADORE this bag! ๐
We are going to plant a free tree from Lowes!
We always use totes when we shop, and we always recycle! And for this earth day we are going to plant tress in our yard!
I try to think every day how much waste we have. I have started a recycle bin for paper in my office. When it fills up, I pack it up and take it home to put out with my own. In the year we have done this I have calculated that we have saved at least 1 mature tree, 34 gallons of oil, and 525 gallons of water, not to mention the space in the land fill! We all can do something, even if it is the littlest thing! HAPPY EARTH DAY!!!
Fantastic – would love to win!!!
Happy Earth Day! Today i am not working which is great but I’m going to skip doing my laundry to save on water and instead I am going to head outside on this beautiful morning to enjoy the world around me, that I too often take for granted!!
Love the bag, what a great way to celebrate Earth Day!

Thank you for all of the great contests VB!
This would be a very stylist way to show we support our earth.

We also use reusable totes for everything and if we do end up with plastic bags, we recycle them too.
Would love to have that tote! Adorable and Earth-friendly too!
I celebrated Earth Day by getting my free coffee from Starbucks in my personal mug (saved one paper cup from being used). Two years ago, I initiated the “Green@Work” in my Department. And to this day, my staff members keep it up!
We use reusable shopping totes like this one everyday! My family actually enjoys collecting them from different places that sell them. So have so many different sizes and colors and they really come in handy. There is a stash in each car so we are never without one when we are out shopping!
Happy Earth Day! I love the tote!
My family Recycles used cans and scrap paper
I have been recycling & freecycling for more than 40 years. I belong to 2 freecycle groups. I donate all our no longer needed clothing and freecycle others. I donate to schools our no longer needed kids books and no longer needed toys. I take our clean used plastic bags to our local library for those rainy days when books are borrowed from the library. All seedlings that grow on our property are potted and given away to others who would like to have one. The same with the baby fish in our fish pond. Today on Earth Day we will be planting, planting, planting. And eating leftovers for lunch!
I am Celebrating Earth day by unpacking and making our new home a great one and to finally find my things. Happy Earth day to everyone and have a great day.

To celebrate Earth day I am reorganizing all my recycling and taking it in.
We are cleaning out our closets and donating clothes to charity to give them a 2nd chance to be worn again.
Half of our household garbage every weeks goes to recycling and I use reusable shopping bags! I was amazed at how much we could actually recycle when our county offered it to us! That first week really shocked us. The reusable bags at the grocery store hold way more than the plastic and we know that all those plastic bags aren’t going to the landfill anymore! So glad that Vera Bradley encourages earth day!
My family and I are going to pack lunches and some filtered tap water in our reusable water bottles and head out to the beach to enjoy this beautiful Earth we live on. What can be better than being outdoors on Earth Day? ๐

We are celebrating this year by planting 3 small trees in our backyard. Today is also no energy day in our house. No tv, no AC, no computer, no radio etc. The only items in our home this weekend using electricity will be our refrigerator and freezer. At night we will burn only one light. To entertain the kids we will be playing games, reading or painting.
I would definitely remember to bring this with me! So pretty!
When out anyplace I always say:” oh there goes —- pattern Vera Bradley.” How proud I would be to have a Vera Bradley re-usable bag to show off that even Vera is helping with Earth Day . I think that would make people really think re-usable stylish besides Earth friendly.
Celebrating Earth Day by helping my child make something for his class project by recycling something from home that would otherwise go into a landfill. How fun!
Also, enjoying a free cup of coffee or tea from Starbucks when using my own travel mug. Haven’t decided which I’ll get yet, but what a great thing to do.
I LOVE VERA!! I have four shelves in my cedar closet devoted to Veras. This would be a great addition as well as making shopping with reusable bags prettier!
I do what I can where I can. I donate clothing so others can use. I take old magazines and books to the library. The sales them and use the money to buy new materials.
To celebrate Earth Day…..
I am not going to use ANY electricity!(or at least try to)
When I go to the grocery store I will be using reusable bags
I will be going to Lowe’s to buy a tree
and hope to be outside all day planting!
Love this Earth Day bag! What a great way to shop smart & green! Happy Earth Day!
We are spending the day out doors,cleaning up Our InLaws/Grandparents yard,planting a tree and flowers and then heading to the beach to clean up our shore ! Love Vera Bradley…”HAPPY EARTH DAY EVERYONE” ๐
very nice- love it!
Being green today by hanging laundry out to dry, washing dishes by hand instead of in the dishwasher, and eating leftovers and sandwiches so I don’t have to turn the oven on. Plus blinds are open (windows would be too if it weren’t for my allergies and the outside temp being so high), Brita pitcher is filled, ice maker is off (we empty the bucket into our second freezer w/ no ice maker once a week to stockpile), and we’re staying home today to watch old movies instead of going out to rent new ones.
We are a 3 generation Vera family of women!
Grandma is 88 and has a few Veras; I am next and have way too many old and new Veras and my daughter is 28; a national parks ranger, who indeed has many veras too, and they even show up when she carries things to her job in them! LOVE ‘EM !
Happy Earth Day!
Today I will use reusable bags while shopping for Easter, and I am buying a tree to plant in my back yard with my girls! I wan this Earth to be just as beautiful for their great great grandchildren!
Today is my husband’s birthday!!!! We are working in the yard and finishing up a screened in porch! yay!
I use my re-useable travel mug all the time. Saves me on gas money – no stopping for coffee in the morning, just bring it from home.
we HATE using plastic bags and recycle any we can’t avoid… to help the earth…we’re growing a garden and eating organic/living organic and also gathering our students and having them pick up garbage!
To celebrate Earth Day I will celebrate by using as little electricity as possible and ensuring that all of my containers, cups, etc. are reusable. I plan to encourage everyone else as well to protect the Earth as it’s such a precious resource. I also am celebrating the fact that I could be a part of our Student Government that just passed a bill to fund a campus garden. The garden, which will actually be a food forest, will be the first in the country. As a green school, this will help us to continue on our University’s mission to be environmentally sustainable. ๐
I will be recycling my plastic bags at the grocery store…will be using reusable grocery bags…and gathering up my recycling for Monday’s pick up!
Happy Earth Day!! I am taking a couple of bags of clothes to GoodWill to recycle for others to use, planting a garden with native plants from Florida and going to see the new Disney film African Cats from DisneyNature!! I am also taking my reusable shopping bags grocery shopping!!!
I’m taking my recycling to the recycling center on my way to work!
I would โค To have that bag! Vera Bradley is the best!! Pick me, =)
For Earth Day, I’m taking reusable water bottles to the gym and I’m taking my reusable bags to go grocery shopping after! Happy Earth Day!
Earth Day is the day I get to tell everyone how I recycle paper and cans, do not print emails, always use reusable shopping bags. Planting flowers is on the agena. I am just happy to to be on this Earth, and always try to do my part to keep it clean! Please pick up liter on the ground, and don’t leave any behind.
I am celebrating Earth Day by trading one of my trash cans for another recycling bin. I officially have more recycling than trash every week ๐
I teach elementary school and take many bags to school every day. I love to have beautiful bags to organize my supplies for the day.
Instead of driving to class today, I’m walking ๐ I am also using my travel coffee mug and recycling everything possible! Happy Earth Day!
Hold on to what is good, Even if it’s a handful of earth.
Hold on to what you believe, Even if it’s a tree that stands by itself.
Hold on to what you must do, Even if it’s a long way from here.
Hold on to your life, Even if it’s easier to let go ~ Pueblo Indian prayer
Today I am using my travel mug for my morning cup of coffee instead of a paper cup. I have my shopping totes ready for all of my shopping and errands. I am making homemade yogurt and will store in a glass container to reduce waste. We will not be using paper towels, cups, napkins, or paper plates for the day. I may be washing a lot of dishes and dish towels but it will be rewarding when I come home with my shopping totes full of flowers and plants for our garden. Happy Earth Day & Happy Easter!
As a teacher, I plan to revolve today’s reading and math lessons around Earth day and discuss the importance of it and what it represents and how to use the three R’s (reduce, reuse, recycle). Things first graders can understand and somewhat relate to!
I will remember my reusable bags for grocery shopping. Buy a larger recycling bin.
Shopping only with reusable bags!! No more plastic! Yours are my fav– they are the best!!!
Loving the shopper totes! We’ve become a Vera household. I even got a lanyard for my ID at work. ๐
I saved the plastic bads that I get from Walmart and Target and reuse them for garbage bags in our smaller trash containers. They also go in our camper for garbage.
Today, I will be planting new flowers and a new tree in our yard with my 7 y/o son and discussing the importance of recycling by returning bottle deposits.
To celebrate Earth day, my two-year-old daughter and I are using the reusable shopping bags on our weekly grocery store trip. We only have two, but pack them to bursting if we have to. My daughter says “No plastic mommy. It makes the world sad.” (God bless PBS and their child friendly eco-awareness programs!) We’ve also chosen several plants, flowers and a couple of trees that we will plant today as well. ๐ Happy Earth Day everyone! And remember that we don’t want to world to “be sad”!
A beautiful bag! We would use it for shopping at the farmers market or filling it with “stuff” for long awaited days at the lake!
To celebrate Earth Day, I am saving and recycling Capri Sun containers. I also use my travel mug for most trips to the coffee shop!
I love Vera and I would love this tote. I especially love the spring colors, so bright and colorful. I would love this beautiful tote to carry and cut down on our recycles. My husband and I do recycle, but there is always room to do more.
To celebrate Earth Day I am going to see what kind of resuable items I can find for my Pre-K class can use to make some art projects. To the kids almost nothing is garbage; it can eaily become a treasue. The resuable tote would be great to collect these items in to travel back and forth to school.
Love the tote.
I have been using a lot less paper towels with an investment in a package of 3.99 washcloths. We use them for everything. Most of my cleaning, use and just toss into the laundry. We use maybe 1 paper towel roll a week, in a house of 7 people.
Also group my errands together to use less gas, and I hang my clothes to use less electricity
Planting new flowers, and mulching to save water! Riding our bikes out to the beach this afternoon to enjoy the beauty of Earth! Getting my free coffee with my re-usable cup!
The diva that I am would look so fab carring this tote from store to store!!
I am using my reusable water bottle and tuper ware for work!
Getting a new tree for the yard and from now on I use my reusable cups rather than throw aways in the cafeteria and at starbucks.
I use re-useable totes when shopping, we recycle and compost! We are going to walk on our road and pick up litter today (hope it doesn’t rain, l0l)!!
I LOVE Vera Bradley!! It would be awesome to add this to my collection and celebrate earth day. This bag would put those Publix bags to shame.
I’m collecting clothes from my friends to donate or swap. I use shopping totes all of the time, recycle everything that I can at home to cut down on buying trash bags, my children play in their pool all of the time so my youngest isn’t wearing pull ups and potty trains quicker with the little potty outside, we are making a composite pile for first time and no ac today. Only opening up the windows on this nice, cool day!
We’re going to a farm today to drop off non-perishable foods. Also, we’ve been making a real conscience effort to recycle & reuse in our home!
I recycle all my paper and plastic. I use recycle bags when I shop and would love a Vera Bradley recycle bag to along with my other Vera items. Have a great earth day all.
We’re going to the Miami Seaquarium! Wish we had that beautiful tote to take with us!
We celebrate every year by planting a tree with our son.
Planting today!
We are headed home for Easter from the OBX (Outer Banks, NC) after a Spring Break week away. I packed all our supplies for the trip in our recyclable bags – from snacks to cleaning supplies, fleece to our overnight bags, market to picnic, beach to backseat throw-it-in catch all – the recyclable bags are our constant travel companions.
I would love one of those beautiful totes.. That is a great Earth day contest prize.. Happy Earthday!
Everyday is Earth Day in our home! We drive fuel efficient cars, recycle newspaper, magazines, plastic, and aluminum, we turn the faucet off when we’re brushing our teeth, and we replace every plant that dies in our yard. To celebrate Earth Day today, we plan to take our reusable travel coffee mugs to Starbuck’s for some free coffee/tea. Enjoy the day everyone!!!
We should all remember that every day is Earth Day. It is what I am trying to teach my children. That they have to take care of our planet. It is the only one we have. Completely agreed with your comment.
To celebrate Earth Day we planted 10 trees around our new house this week! Trying to reduce our carbon footprint one small step at a time! Happy Earth Day! ๐
For Earth Day I plan on useing my reusable shoppings bags. Also I have taken a vow to never use styrofoam cups or plates ever again. My kids and I are going to also plant a tree in honor of not only a lost loved one but also Earth Day. Thank you for the oportunity to win an amazing looking bag which is also an amazing contribution to helping our Earth!!
I love this bag! I can possibly start using reusable bags (:
We are celebrating earth by turning off the tv and heading outside all day to plant trees.
Love it! So cute!
We have gone green the last 5 years. walk to the store when we can & always take our recycleable bags. If I do go out in the car I have my bags with me. Would love to add the Vera shopper to my bags. Happy earth day!
To celebrate Earth Day, I am bringing my own water bottle and making sure I carpool with friends and family when I have the chance!
I love vera bradley and now i can help save the environment too. Thanks for the chance
How chic this bag is! I carry all my reusable bags in the trunk of my car so I always have them on hand. I sure would love to have the Vera bag.
GO GREEN!! ๐
We celebrate our planet Earth everday by using reusable shopping bags to grocery shop. We also purchase travel mugs that we fill up at various stores instead of getting a new plastic or paper cup each day. I am also a teacher and we are always learning how to take care of our planet. Happy Earth Day!
OMGosh…I love this tote!! I have a problem where i have to get one (or two) at every store I go to. I dont use plastic or paper and always reuse my totes. I would love to win one of these!! Thanks Vera Bradley for such awesome products!!!
I just got a shopping tote at the Fort Wayne sale and I LOVE it! I’m going shopping for plants and flowers to plant in my front yard. It’s fun to work on a landscaping project!
I sold my car!! I will get around by mass transit–I live in NYC so I expect this to be an easy transition.
Throughout the year we recycle and reduce our waste. But, on EARTH DAY specifically we always plant 3 trees for each of kids. They help us plant and we all look forward to it every year. It’s a tradition in the Hinchman household. ๐ I challenge everyone to do the same.โฅ
We celebrate earth day with our girl scout troop picking up trash around the schools in our neighborhood. The girls also used recycled items to make crafts. One was a soup can painted and used to plant an herb.
To celebrate Earth Day, I am taking my reusable Travel Coffee Mug to my local coffee shop, to get coffee, this morning. Also when my family and I do our shopping latter we will be using reusable shopping bags.
Happy Earth Day All!!!
I love this bag!! So pretty!
I am reducing my usage of plastic water bottles, buying a filter for faucet.
Happy Earth Day everyone! That tote would look great in my shopping cart.
Kids & I are planting seadlings in the front & backyard
For Earth Day I will do the same thing I do everyday. I will recycle, turn off the lights that I don’t need, I will drink out of a cup that is not disposable, and I will do my best to remember every day is Earth Day!
Love these bags for shopping…have a few “ugly”ones, but they work…would be great to have a VB beautiful one.
Our family celebrates Earth Day every day! We recycle and reuse everything we can. We compost which turns into great soil for gardening. We also use the reuseable shopping bags too and give them as gifts to encourage others to use them. I specially like the one you’re giving away. Hope to win one ๐
Love this bag, so cute and part of a great cause (Earth Day!)
I’m on vacation! I have asked that the housekeeping only come when I request them to come … this will save on the water and energy used – At home I would use towels more then once – why not on vacation!!
Taking my kids to the Nature Center to make crafts & teach them about the importance of taking care of the our surroundings!! Enjoy the Day!!
I will be using reusable shopping bags when I go shopping today
I will be making bird houses with my two kids using recycled products (milk bottles, etc) to hang in our trees!
To celebrate Earth Day and spring we are cleaning up the sides of the road in our neighborhood. I also use totes for everything – my friends call me the bag lady. A Vera tote would add a little pizazz to the collection!!!!
Happy Earth Day. We strive to recycle and I teach my children how to not be wasteful and to be mindful of the garbage they are producing. This earth day I discussed with my daughter how we use plastic containers for the foods in her lunchbox rather than plastic baggies which fill up landfils. We also just ordered reusable sandwich and snack baggies through a fundraiser at her school.
Today we will keeps lights off when not needed, flush less, turn water off when brushing teeth and look for new things that can be recycled into projects rather than trash.
How cute!! Love it!! Keeping my fingers crossed!! ๐
HAPPY EARTH DAY!!
Recycling clothes and other items in our home that we won’t be taking with us when we move. Landfills are full enough. Homeless shelters and longterm behavioral care facilities can use anything people can give. ๐
VIVA Earth day! I have been recycling since the very first one – I think all Vera-holics should have a shopping bag. I am actually considered a recycling Nazi, and don’t hesitate to call people out for throwing away plastic and aluminum! We also need some cute nylon bags we can carry in our Vera purses so we don’t have to use those plastic store bags! maybe a small and large set!
Going to garden and work in the yard today. Will be working on the compost pile. love the bag. It would match my new bag.
I am giving reusable totes as gifts to my family and friends to celebrate Earth Day!
Plant my own vetable garden, use reusable travel cups, I use Brita water containers anf fill my own water bottles, reusable grocery bags…this beautiful tote would make me smile while I help our Earth!
I am no longer going to use paper cups for my coffee. I got out my mug and used it this morning and I will continue to do this. My daughter woke up so excited this morning to celebrate Earth Day and wore her green!
Love the tote! What a great statement to make for helping to make a greener place!
I love Earth Day! We never thank our Dear Mother Earth enough! Our family recycles, use reusable bags while shopping and try to avoid paper products whenever possible! I say plant a flower and a tree and let’s beautify our corner of the World!! xoxo
We recycle our electronics at the recycling spot in our town; we plant a tree; we plant flowers in the special memory garden at the school that I work in
We are a three generation of women loving Vera! Mom is 88 and enjoys several; I have WAY too many and love them all; and my daughter who is a park ranger, carries things to and from her job as well, in Vera(maybe there should/could be a pattern of trees and flowers to celebrate the earth, in the signature fabrics, for those more earthy, outdoors women?)
I am celebrating Earth Day by reusing grocery bags and going around the neighborhood cleaning up litter. I am also hanging out laundry to dry instead of using the dryer.
Happy Earth Day!
I started carpooling with my boyfriend to work, and we planted 2 new trees!
I am shopping online today instead of driving to the stores. Then tonight we are going to plant trees for our soon-to-be niece and nephew!
I always try to remember my reusable bags when I shop! I find that many places sell the bags now and instead of getting another souvenir that I don’t know what to do with, I get a bag that I know I can use. I would LOVE to have a Vera reusable bag for my collection.
I will be going through my closet and cleaning out all the items I don’t wear, and taking them to good will or a consignment store for them to reuse to sell. ๐ Clean closet, and affordable clothes for others….Happy Earth Day!!
That bag is too cute!! Love caring my Vera Bradley. It would be a nice piece to add to my collection!! I like it when people in public comment on my VB!!
For Earth Day I will be using my reusable bags, heading to Lowes for a FREE tree, and recycle! I LOVE this tote and I could never have enough!
Today, I carpooled to work! I also brought my own coffee in a reusable travel mug instead of going to my local coffee shop! Happy Earth Day! ๐
I always try to do what I can to help out the Earth, like using reusable bags and recycling and I absolutely love everything Vera! This would be such a perfect product to tie the two interests together!
This bag would be so pretty to bring my groceries home in.
Every day is Earth Day in our home. Today is the day we get very happy to see everyone help make the Earth what it deserves to be. My daughters, ages 5 & 8, don’t know any other way. Shop with reusable totes, recycle bins in the garage, hand~me~downs in the drawers. Thankfully, this is becoming ‘the way’ for the young generation. Thank you, Vera B, for making it soooo cute to be Earth Savvy!!!
Super cute! What a great way to celebrate Earth Day. Love your Mother!
I’ll be gardening and recycling some annuals from my neighborhood that I salvaged when they switched out.
Celebrating Earth Day with all my grandkids! We are having an Easter Egg hunt, and then a great lunch, all with the help of my wonderful chickens!
Happy Earth Day!
I am going to make a point of taking my resuable bags to the store. A lot of places will give you a certain amount off your purchase if you bring your own bag in!
LOVE the bag !!!! LOVE Vera Bradley !!!! Great for earth day !!
My kids will begin planting the garden and going through all their toys to donate some to our local daycare facility. Happy Earth Day!
This would be a perfect way to carry my school supplies! We celebrate earth day each and every day by recyling at home!
I love reusable totes! They are so handy to keep in the car for grocery trips and stops at the farmers market!
Resuseable shopping bags are great.
We are planting trees this weekend for Earth Day, we have also decided to go lights out from 5pm on this evening. I would love to be sporting a new Vera Shopping Tote! ๐ Love Love Love my Vera’s!!!!
IN OUR FAMILY, EARTH DAY IS EVERYDAY. ๐ I THINK YOU ARE RIGHT, THIS BAG IS SUCH A PRETTY WAY TO REDUCE AND REUSE. ๐
I love this bag!!!
To celebrate Earth Day I am taking my coffee to work in a reuseable cup. But then again, I do that everyday. ๐
Happy Earth Day!! I love VB’s reusable bags! They are awesome for so many reasons!! Best shopper tote ever!!
Lovely, as always.
I will be planting flowers and cleaning up the landscaping at a local assisted living facility; with my daughter and her Bible Study group.
I’ll use reusable bags when I go shopping for Easter today. And I’ll have the heater and A/C turned off and have the windows open all day.
LOVE VERA BRADLEY!
To celebrate Earth Day we are going to ride our bikes to the park and spend our day outdoors. When my husband comes back home my boys (ages 6 and 3) will help plant 4 fruit trees and finish building a bird house.
I will be celebrating earth day by grocery shopping with my reusable bags and then working at an antique mall where we reuse packing paper and plastic bags that at donated to us.
Weather permitting, I will be cleaning up our yard. What a mess Wisconsin winters leave behind…
I am doing as much as possible to “go Green”. I purchase as much recyclable items as possible. We save the drink cans for our local burn unit at Doctor’s Hospital. I also save the pop tops from the cans that are donated to a local elementary school. I have my own non-plastic grocery bags that I take whenever I go shopping so that I do not use plastic bags. Last week I joined our state’s go green campaign. My granddaughter will wear her Earth Day shirt today that I received when I joined.
I’m celebrating Earth Day by using a reusable coffee mug, recycling anything that I can, and supporting the Environmental Sustainability group on my college campus!
This is so much prettier than the reusable store bags! I would love to have one!
I use a recyclable water bottle and a refillable coffee tumbler to save on paper cups.
To celebrate Earth Day, I am going to plant flowers with my two young boys. ๐
I’m working on lots of ways to go green this year! My latest endeavor is promoting organic thinking ๐ If we love the life of our Earth and treat it with care we can change the world! The Viva la Vera tote would be an excellent addition to my reusable shopping bag collection!
I use reusable shopping totes, recycle (mandatory where i live) and try to get everyone i know to recycle, and use my plastic coffee mug made with GREEN materials!!
Along with our daily recycling, and use of reusable bags, my kids and I will be planting a new tree in our yard today! I would love to add the beautiful bag to my collection!
Planting some drought-tolerant plants in my yard (although I don’t think they’d be as pretty as this beautiful shopping tote!) .
I use reusable bags when I go shopping and recycle old magazines when they build up around the house. Viva La Vera is my favorite print this season. ๐
Everyday is earth day at our house! We recycle everything we can,I use totes for all of my shopping, and I have really cut diwn on running errands. My daughter in college keeps a bin in her car for recycles and drops it off at the neighborhood drop-off site. And my best tip-I use paper that has only been printed on one side in my printer at home and at work. I teach 2nd grade and always have leftover worksheets to use. I save lots of paper that way!
Every day is Earth Day. This week I’ve taken an old microwave to the local hazardous waste facility; returned deposit bottles and cans for a total of $18.90, and put some reusable bags in my new, more fuel efficient vehicle. Today, I’ll be bringing a few bags of outgrown childrens clothing to the Salvation Army. I’ve also “reused” soda can pop tops by crocheting them into bracelets.
We always use our re-usable coffee mug. The coffee machine also has a re-usable coffee filter. Today it’s going to be beautiful outside so I will be planting my flowers.My car is also full of bags of clothes to donate to the church. We like to donate as much as possible, food, clothes and blood.
We recycle, use reusable shopping bags, reusable water bottles, reusable lunch bags instead of using paper or plastic!! I could definitely add another Vera reusable shopping bag to my collection!!
I celebrate Earth Day by forgoing paper and plastic at the grocery store and using my reusable shopping bags and sharing with my children the importance of taking care of the world we live in.
This tote is a must have! I never go anywhere without my reusable shopping bags. ๐
Today, my Four boys…. 13, 4, and twins 3 are planting in the backyard… We are heading to Loews so that each of them can get their free tree and I have saved the seeds that they received from their yogurts…. Daninino…. And outback we go…. Happy Earth Day…. Even picking up a piece of trash on the ground and placing it in the trash or a recycle bin can help people…. It doesn’t have to be a huge thing…. Sometimes just the little one’s matter!!!!
Is the free tree at lowes only saturday? Or today too? We are going tomorrow! Can’t wait to plant!
I have one in another color and it is great. A must have!
I would love to add the Vera bag to my collection of reusable bags. As a family we really have made a lot of changes this last year. We recycle as much as we can . Thank you so much for offering this. I think it would be a great addition to your product line.
What a cute tote!! I love reusable totes when I go to the grocery store. Also, I have a favored used book store called recycled reads that I always bring my re-useable tote to because I know I am going to buy a lot of books! (I plan to go there today) I am also planning to go to a wildflower center with my mom! Happy Earth Day!
We will bring and use our shopping totes at the mall along with my reusablestraw/cup for my ice coffee. Will get my husband to start recycling our trash. We also buy our milk in glass containers so we can bring them back to the store!!!
We’ll be using our travel mugs when we go to get coffee. We also recycle all of our cardboard, plastic, paper, etc. Hoping to ‘wake up’ our compost pile this spring. Love the bag!
Reading the Lorax with my children.
We celebrate Earth Day everyday! We recycle everything we can, use cloth diapers and shopping bags, and my husband rides his bicycle to work on most days. Thanks for the great giveaway!
Thanks for making going green this earth day a whole lot easier and cuter!
We recycle everything we can at our house. Today’s Earth day I will drop off some gently used clothing at Goodwill, and use my tumbler when I pick up my ice tea. My daughter just made her lunch and everything went into a thermos instead of using plastic bags. I’m making a conscience effort to turn off lights as I go through the house.
For Earth day, we will be doing the same thing we do every day. We use reusable shopping bags everywhere we go. We recycle as much as possible and we keep our energy and gas usage down to a minimum.
This year my son brought home a tree from school that we are going to plant this weekend as well.
We recycle at home: paper, plastic, glass, metals. We take our own bags to the grocery store; we get comments all of the time on our handy bags that attach to the cart. Work provided those…Scripps Networks (HGTV, Food Network…). We are very “green” at work as well: recycling, leed certified green bldg. We try ๐
To celebrate Earth Day, my husband and I are working in our small, but beautiful yard today! He is trimming and feeding the grass and I am prepping my flower pots and planters. It’s a beautiful morning to be outside! Happy Earth Day!!!
I’m celebrating Earth Day by using a Tumbler for my water everyday instead of buying bottled water.
I keep reusable totes in my trunk so when I grocery shop I have them instead of the plastic. I would love to win a Vera tote.
My friend is hosting a kids play date and the them is Earthday Birthday. She is having the kids pick up recyclables for Earthday clean up and reading a couple books on Earth and Peace by Todd parr. I already brought in my tumbler to get my morning tea. We also started a recycling program at our college campus this month.
I try to make everyday Earth Day by using reusable bags when I grocery shop. These awesome bags will be just one more way to do just that. Thanks VB!
Hello! I am celebrating Earth day by using my reusable bags when I goto the grocery! I usually forget them!! Lol they are sitting on my front seat today!
To celebrate Earth Day this year, I am going to find some creative ways to eliminate waste. One that I have come up with is to use cloth napkins rather than paper ones and we use all biodegradable cleaning products (including shampoo and conditioner) and I am already taking public transit rather than drive and we are buying a motorcycle and scooters for our vehicles and selling the car to use gas and pollution from emissions and we have an electric powered lawnmower and weedeater vs. a gas one, and we have always used reusable glass containers for food for packed lunches and we reuse aluminum foil and have a home composter in the backyard…so we always try to do the best we can to help our planet, if we dont, it wont last long enough for anyone else to do it. So its up to us to make the changes necessary to protect our planet (and ourselves by extension, because without clean drinking water or the ozone layer, we are all facing imminent death)
I have been making coffee at home and using the reusable mugs for hot and iced coffee that I bought. I went from buying coffee once a day to maybe once a week when I am out and don’t have access to make it at home.
I also am teaching my 2 year old about recycling and trying to encourage my husband to recycle more too!!
We planted a garden with my 2 year old last weekend and tomorrow we plan to plant a tree for Earth Day.
I always try to use my reusable shopping bags too. I love them!! I REALLY love the Vera one!! It’s so super cute!! I would love it!!
Happy Earth Day!!!
We recycle cans everyday! And use reusable shopping bags!
Love Vera and Love the tote!

Planting a tree, spending most of day outside, enjoying this beautiful earth with darkness in the house!
I would love to have that tote to replace the one I have that goes everywhere w/ me. the zoo, the park, the book store. Its a carry all bag for snacks and toys to keep my little one busy
I always use resusable shopping bags and I just bought a reusable water bottle – no more plastic one time use ones. Recycle!!!
I love Vera Bradley, and this would look great with my collection. I would use it all the time.
Because it is earth day and i am moving I am using all recyclable products to help me move!
I am celebrating Earth Day by teaching my wonderful students ways they can change their daily habits to be more eco-friendly!! Using reuseable shopping bags, drink from a reusable water bottle, turn off the faucet while brushing their teeth!!
Happy Earth day to all!!! In honor of our beautiful and plentiful planet I am going to go as “green” as I can today. No plastic, chemicals, no driving, I am even going to use bamboo utensils for eating. We are so lucky to be HERE! If everyone does one small thing, it will do so much for our home!!
I celebrate Earth Day by recycling and working in my flower beds. I also celebrated Earth Day yesterday with my class my reading books, recycling, and doing Earth Day activities and crafts.
We have recently started using the re-usable totes! I think they’re fun and a great way to save on using plastic bags! I do find the prettier the bag is the more likely I am to continue to use them! I’ve been getting plain canvas ones and embroidering things on them to help me want to use them!
Happy Earth Day!
For earth day I am saying good by to disposable bags and paper cups, I am having my morning coffee in a reusable mug and my water in a reusable water bottle ๐ ! That tote would make my eco-friendly shopping very very pretty!!!
Going Green with a Vera Bradley Bag, wow! When I use my bag from past designs I always feel special with a Vera on my arm. Helping out the earth at the same time! Why use paper or plastic when you could have a Vera!!!!!!!
We recycle as much as possible everyday! Today we will be taking a walk and cleaning up any garbage along the way. Happy Earth Day!
We recycle cans everyday and use reusable bags for shopping!!
We will use reusable cups and mugs, spend more time outside planting flowers and spending time with pets, less computer usage and tv watching.
This is super-cute and “happy”. I also love that you can wipe it down if something icky leaks inside! Happy Earth Day!
Love the bag, as I do all Vera products. Using my travel mug today and all my reuseable bags at the stores, today and everyday. Also love the contests.
Heading to Lowes to pick up my free tree and using my reusable totes for my other shopping there.
Getting my free tree at Lowes today! Words for today are REUSE and RECYCLE…..love love love the tote and what a pretty way to use less plastic/paper! ๐ โค โค
LOVE VERA!! I need a new spring purse soon.
Love those colors…but there hasn’t been a VB tote I haven’t liked yet!
To celebrate Earth Day I have pledged to seriously recyle most of all the paper I use, which is a lot!
I am recycling all our bottles/cans & always use reusable grocery bags at the store!
We are celebrating Earth Day walking on our beautiful beach. While we enjoy the beauty of the beach we will be picking up trash and recycles.
I recycle everything that I can! I love VB!!!
I love these reusable bags. I use them religiously at the grocery and many of my favorite clothing stores.
Its raining here today so not much outdoor stuff going on unfortunately.
To celebrate Earth Day, we have made it a week! Tilling our garden, raking the leaves and mulching them into the veggie garden. We have planted many new plants and tree seedlings to bring the spring back into our yard. We are recycling all kinds of yard waste and just spending time in the fresh air! Love the Earth Day/Week:)
Love the shopping bag! Just took son on field trip to recycling center and learning lots of new ways to recycle!
We recycle everything we can at my house. From books, purses, clothes, shoes, and we have a huge community that takes anything that can be recycled. I am so hooked I even check the trash in the house, if the kids throw anything out. They have to pick out rinse it and recycle on their own.
I am picking up litter ๐
For this Earthday, I am taking my family and my Girl Scout Troop to do a litter pick up in our community with the local Lions Club. Following the litter pick up we are headed to a local Nursing home and we are planting a few trees and starting a flower, vegetable and herb garden so the patients can have a little piece of home and the Nursing home is allowing them to use the herbs in some of the cooking. We are then going to have a lunch at a local park over an open fire and using recycleable products and finishing with a craft using plain reusable totes, gather leaves, sticks and stones and laying them on the totes and then using natural dyes like tea bags and things and spray around the leaves and things and when it dries it will look like a nature scene on the bag and be reusable without using chemicals and harmful items! =) Happy Earthday. Keep saving the Earth and recycle everything you can! Make your footprint!
To clelebrate Earth Day I have begun using reusable and washable cloths for cleaning around the house instead of tons of paper towels:)
Hubby is using his travel mug for coffee today, we are hopefully getting a tree from Lowe’s and trying to gather enough reusable bags to start shopping with those. Love this bag!!!
Earth day is also my dad’s birthday! Today we’re spending time in the garden and he’s going to help me out with clippings for the container garden I’m starting!
Earth Day is also my husband’s birthday! We are celebrating with a birthday party, and going to an “Earth Day Fest” here in the city. What a joy it would be to have a Vera reusable bag to dress up my grocery shopping!
Happy Earth Day! Practice good “earth sense” everyday! not just today. Today is a day to celebrate the ways we help save our planet all year long ๐ Love to see all the extra effort today though! Great job ladies! Would love a shopper! Love ALL my Vera!
I am celebrating earth day with our family of 7 by using my reuseable grocery bags, reusable coffe mug, and simply enjoying the sound of the rain hitting the roof:)
Today we are cleaning the house and getting things together for our yard sales in the next few weeks. We recycle anything everything we can! I love having shopping totes, you can never have too many and I absolutely LOVE the design on this one!!!
My son and I are starting our vegetable garden. Too cold yet to do it outside but we are using pots until it gets warmer. Happy Earth Day!
I only use reusable totes when grocery shopping. And when I’m out doing some retail therapy, I use one of my many beautiful Vera bags!
Happy EaRtH Day! Me and my 4 y.o. son are going outside to start our own compost pile and to plant some apple trees. ๐
We are going to see Disney’s African Cats so that a donation will be made to African Wildlife Federation.
I have been a huge Vera fan since my mom started buying the bags years ago. Always get positive comments on my collection. I would love a shopping bag to support Earth Day and continue promoting Vera products!!!
I would love a new shopping tote, so that I can celebrate Earth Day by shopping GREEN!! ๐
My boys and I go to the school that I work at and we pick up trash in field and on the playground. We also clean up the yards in our neighborhood to help out our friends. I use it as an opportunity to teach my children about helping out the Earth and helping out others.
I love when people promote Earth Day! Many of our lives are too busy to stop, think, and plan for how simple/little changes can help our Earth and communities. VB, your products are always wonderful! Thanks!
We are starting our seeds for the garden today! The kids love it!
Our family celebrates Earth Day every day…our youngest daughter encouraged us many years ago to be a Three R Family – Recycle, Reduce and Reuse. I would proudly add the beautiful Vera Bradley bag in with my other reusable shopping bags. Happy Earth Day!
I always use reusable bags for shopping and this would be a wonderful one to add to my collection!
I always use reuseable cups at work and home. I also am going to buy one of the water bottles that has a filtration system built in!
My beautiful 7 yr. old grand daughter has got me into recycling. Amazing what we can learn from our children.
In addition to reusuable totes (none this cute) my husband and I are huge recyclers. I work at a hotel and they do not recycle so once a week we pack up 8 huge garbage bags of recycle stuff and truck it to our house to put our with our stuff.
Thanks ๐
That bag is fantastic !! well, we kind of celebrate Earth day each day…..we sold our truck and bought a Prius. LOVE the gas mileage on that car. I use cloth bags everytime I go food shopping….we use mugs, that our company made, for refillable drinks (to cut down on styrofoam cup use at work) . At home, we changed our bulbs out to CFL’s and we recycle everything we can.
We are always aware of what we can be doing to make it better…
Happy Earth Day !!
If it ever stops raining, I will be planting flowers and a vegetable garden! If it’s too wet to plant, we will be doing some shopping with reusable bags.
I love my reusable totes! Great for the beach or the grocery store! This Earth Day I am working. ๐ฆ But plan on visiting the new Vera Bradley Outlet in Orlando this weekend!!! With my reusable totes!!
I’m going to park the Jeep today and shop by walking! I’ll be sporting my Vera reusable bags, and carrying my own mug to Starbuck’s! Get out and enjoy the beauty of the planet today! Of course it would be nice to add this bag to my stash…love the colors!
We use reusable bags here everyday to celebrate Earth Day.
In my town, they have banned all plastic bags in order to help reduce trash around the city. Such a great idea! I love going to the grocery with my Twirly Birds Pink shopper and would love to add this to my collection ๐
I always use reusable shopping bags. We are planning on planting new trees in around our back patio. And with gas prices we are driving less!
I don’t celebrate Earth Day once a year but try to do my part every day. Using reusable totes to do my shopping and bring my lunch in reuseable plastic containers.
Earth day should be everyday. Recycling paper, plastic, aluminum; using cloth napkins and cleaning rags; Shopping locally at farmer’s markets; composting, etc. all make a daily impact on our planet. Doing it with a cute bag like the Viva la Vera tote just makes is fun to be good!
So cute!!! I’m switching to low energy light bulbs.
I use paper grocery bags (to collect our paper recyclables), recycle plastic bags, and sometimes use reusable grocery/shopping bags! And NO bottled water! I have a thermos ๐
Happy Earth Day! No dryer for me as I hung out my clothes to dry. I will be using my reusable shopping bags at the food store, this morning. I will drink my water in my travel mug as I do everyday. I will recycle my cans and eat my fresh organic fruits and vegtables. I will cook our dinner with fresh organic homemade ingredients. I cant plant any trees but will do my part in about three weeks when we plant some vegtables and herbs (chemical free of course) for us to enjoy this summer. And if time permits I will continue making my own cloth napkins! I have made about 8 so far. This winter I knitted my own dish cloths, and hand towels. Boy do I have my eye set on that Vera Bradley shopping bag! It is beautiful!! Happy day to all.
Planting my free tree from Lowe’s, drinking Starbuck’s from my travel mug, and dropping off some items at the local recycling bin!
I carry my BPA free red water bottle to work every day. I think Vera should make these!
I love resuable bags…beautiful designs & colors. Recyling. Planting some trees this weekend!!!
I am celebrating by buying to-go ware for my lunches so I stop using plastic and using my vera bradley lunch box!
We are recycling more and reusing in our home. We unplug appliances when we can. We keep the lights off.
To celebrate today, I am going to play with my kids and do a much needed clean up of their toys and find some to donate!
I love your new “Earth Day Bag” I really like the flower on it. I also love the quality of your reusable bags. They hold up nicely and I always recieve good comments when I take them to my local supermarket. Keep up the good work in your efforts to go GREEN!!!
Rode the bus into town this morning instead of driving! Later, going to buy flowers and plants for the yard at my new house!
i have pretty much stopped using plastic water bottles and I love my shopping bags. Lowes is giving away free tree’s so I am thinking of getting one and planting it too!!!
Recycling clothes and other items in our home that we wonโt be taking with us when we move. Landfills are full enough. Homeless shelters and longterm behavioral care facilities can use anything people can give.
What a cute bag! Happy Earth Day!!
I get a recycleable bag everywhere that I go. I use them for all of my shopping, I carry my library books, you name it, I carry it. It is a great conversation starter, because I have bags from all over the country, and people always ask about them. I have 5 Vera Bradley purses also…LOVE THEM!!! Happy Earth Day!!
The tote is GREAT!
We use these all the time !!!
I starting to use this bags for shopping. When we travel i put snacks in a bag like this.
I love these! So fun!
My family and I love vegetables, so rather than go buy them from the store and use the gas. We are doubling the size of our garden this year so we can plant even more vegetables. Plus, one of my jobs is close enough that now, with the nice weather starting, I get to ride my bike to and from work. Who does not enjoy a nice bike ride?
We recycle everyday! And have our garden planted to have fresh fruits and vegetables. Love earth day!
Viva La Vera is my favorite pattern ~ ever. Would love to show this bag off at my neighborhood grocery store!!
I will celebrating at my children’s school! And of course using my reusable shopping bags!
We recycle as many items (plastic, paper, cardboard, aluminum) as possible. Shopping is fun with our reusable bags. When on vacation we try to purchase a “memory” usable bag too. We also started a compost to reuse the material in our garden soil.
Earth Day…..It is wonderful that most companies have joined in the Green Life!!!
Vera Bradley especially!!! My daughter and I have soooooo many Vera bags it is hard
to keep track, but we do not have a recycled Shopper tote.! Maybe today will be the day for us to get one..??!!
Wowsie!
I cloth diaper, recycle , use reusable shopping bags and carry our own water bottles instead of buying bottled.
For me it is earth day every day. I use reusable shopping bags. I keep the heat low in the winter. I have a garden in the summer. I work from home (telecommuter) for my company, so I’m not driving and using gas. :o)
We are celebrating Earth Day by getting a tree at Lowe’s & free Starbucks coffee in my travel mug. Also doing all our errands today to save gas & cleaning the house with eco-friendly cleaners. LOVE the bag & LOVE Vera.
Happy Earth Day!
That bag is too pretty to be left at home!
Happy Earth Day!
This year we will be taking the kid’s to their first beach clean up; their dad protects our waters for a living, so what better way to spend Earth Day than cleaning up Daddy’s “office!”
We’re a recycling household so we celebrate Earth Day every day! I love the VB tote bags! They’re pretty and durable and a great addition to my ever growing collection of recycle shopping bags!
I love using reusable totes wherever I shop! I would love to add Viva la Vera to my collection! To celebrate Earth Day (everyday) I pack my lunch using reusable containers and refill my aluminum water bottle all day long instead of using plastic bags and bottles.
Having a “low electric” usage day-opening curtains, using reusable mug today instead of stopping for soda. Using reusable shopping bags at the grocery.
Using re-useable shooping bags, and tomorrow getting a tree to plant in our yard!
I am celebrating Earth Day by planning out my planting for my flower beds and some veggies. It is too early to plant here, but I am going to research what would be the best flowers to plant where and plan out what I am going to do. And I am staying home today so I am not polluting by unnecessary driving.
I love the VB shopping bag!!! To celebrate Earth Day I am going to recycle cans!
I will use totes when shopping and recycle. Happy Earth Day!
I love the vera Bradley reusable tote. Bringing my own bags to the grocery store was my “new Year” resolution. I am happy to say, I am still using reusable grocery bags! This is TOO CUTE!! Spending earth day shopping for items for a big family easter dinner ๐
To celebrate Earth Day in our house we’re going to cut back on our water and power usage. No lights on unless needed. Turn off the water while brushing our teeth. I’m going to let my 4 year draw pictures of the Earth and we’re going to start her first little garden! Happy Earth Day!
We recycle everyday….Happy Earth Day! Love the tote…it’s so Springy ๐
we always recycle as much as possible, newspaper, cans, bottles, & carry our own carry alls to the store when shopping – teach on agriculture in the school system the importance to reduce, reuse, & recycle – helping to keep the great state of Georgia GREEN!!!! love Vera Bradley!!!! my sittin in a tree shopping bag about worn out!
Sounds silly but if I need to use a paper napkin or paper towel I will get as much mileage out of it as possible! I often thaw in the microwave with bread wrapped in a napkin. I’ll then use that napkin at the table and clean the plates off with it when I’m done!
Earth day is everyday!!!
Happy Earth Day!! I love Vera and that shopper is so cute!! Must have for everyday!! ๐ Have a great Easter everyone!
Today in honor of Earth Day I will use my stainless steel water bottle while I go across town. I will also use re-usable bags when I grocery shop. I love the very colorful bags like the one being offered. Thanks!!!
I am off today and using “green” cleaning products to clean my house!
We grow some herbs and a small garden plus my husband built me a green house so we can grow all year…We have a compost…We reuse containers..Just love the bag…
I would love to have this reusable tote…just hope I can keep it away from my daughters from snagging it because of how cute it is!!!
use reusable bags when shopping, tried to order this one last time was out of stock ๐ฆ
Planting flowers bushes to stop ground erosion. Use refillable water bottles!!
open my windows on beautiful days instead of just turning on the AC!!
HAPPY EARTH DAY! What a great reminder that we need to take care of where we live and recycle everyday!
I am celebrating earth day today by cleaning my house today with earth friendly products, recycling as much as I can, taking reuseable bags when I grocery shop today, making sure that I do all of my errands in ONE run to minimize gasoline usage and planting some flowers in my front yard for Easter. And my husband helps out by using public transportation. This is our home, we have to take care of it!
We help save our planet by recycling as much as possible and buy earth friendly products. I am vegetarian and my son is vegan. We are planting a tree today in honor of earth day.
We use reuseable bags wherever we go even if we are only going to buy one item! We will definitely be shopping today with our reusable bags
I will be enjoying the outdoors and watering my flowers!
i use reusable bags for any shopping. want to buy more energy environmental stuffs for home cleaning supplies and much more. i do care for earth. i want other people to do the same.
I LOVE THESE!!! I’d love to get my hands on one!
I will be using my reusable bags on Earth Day along with cutting down on my use of electricity!
I am going to walk to town to do my errands today.
I am celebrating earth day by using reusable water bottles instead of plastic bottles! Also I am shopping with reusable shopping bags!
To celebrate Earth Day, I planted a new tree in my yard yesterday, and will participate in a neighborhood clean up today.
I love reusable shopping bags. They are more durable and much cuter than those plastic bags.
I love a reuseable tote. Earthday should be everyday. I am happy that Vera Bradley has come out with this Tote. LOVE IT!!!!
Dragging all the bottles and cans we’ve collected in the closet to the local drop off place.
For Earth Day all of my family is turning of all electricity for one hour of the day. Just that can make a big difference! ๐
I only use my Vera shopping totes when I go to the store. I get comments every time!
Celebrating Earth Day as a family thanking God for His abundance and clearing the garden beds to get ready to plant the vegetable plants.
God bless your day.
We are using refillable cups, recycling and trying to use totes instead of plastic bags.
I love the shopping bag and would love to win one! I’m drinking coffee out of my reusable mug, going shopping later with my resable bags, it’s recycling day so that’s all out at the curb, and will be going through my girls’ clothes to find outgrown things to donate to Goodwill.
Would love a new tote to take to the farmers market tomorrow.
We try to celebrate Earth Day EVERYDAY and recycle, reuse, and give as much as we can to protect our environment. I would love to be able to show off a new tote from Vera Bradley while doing this. Thank you for the opportunity!
We can’t celebrate Earth Day JUST today! We all must commit to using those recycling bins, planting trees, protecting our wildlife,cutting down on driving (should be easy to do with these gas prices!) If everybody would change just one little thing, such as reusable bags, travel cups, separating trash, what a difference we could all make. With beautiful bags like this one, we can still be fashionable while helping Mother Earth!
I LOVE the bag!!! I will recycle cans to celebrate Earth Day!
To celebrate Earth Day I am recycling and reusing. Also planning ways to not just change my ways on Earth Day but make changes every day. Every little bit helps.
I have two of vera bradleys shopping totes that i use to do shopping. No more plastic bags. I’m working on starting to really recycle at my house. Would love some more shopping totes!
I always reuse bags or take them to be recycled. I also use reusable tote bags for groceries. I love the tote bag!!!!!
My daughter and I use recycleable bags all the time when shopping at the grocery stores. We try to recycle whenever we can today and every day! We always donate reusable clothing and household items!
My boys and I volunteer at our local nature preserve several times a year helping clean up and get rid of invasive plants. We also recycle. My 6 year old decided that he wanted to start composting and we now have a compost bin. Between composting and recycling we have cut our trash into a quarter of what it used to be.
What a cute way to go green!
To celebrate Earth Day took a bus to work instead of driving.
Giving away products on my business page.
I work in the Pittsburgh Federal Building. We’ve made Earth Day a building wide activity with recycling, energy savings and green cleaning!
Love the Vera reusable bags! Go Earth Day!
I will be walking to lunch today–even in the rain! Happy Earth Day!
To celebrate Earth day-my kids and I are going to walk instead of driving and pick up trash along the road! I love this reusuable bag-I use them whenever I can! Happy Earth Day!
Happy Earth Day!! What a beautiful bag!!!!!
I celebrate Earth Day everyday. I keep my reusable bags in my trunk so that they are always ready to go to the store! I fill my reusable cup for my water everyday and recycle, recycle, recycle. I even got some new to me scarves that are made from recycled t-shirts!!
Reusable water bottles, recycle, turn off lights and tv’s when leaving the room. All the little things add up. Happy Earth Day.
Oooh, if I get this I can put away my “Merry Christmas” Mickey Mouse bag! ๐
For earth day we try to make our home more green inside. We also plant trees and flowers, and we pick up trash on the ground that people have left there. We are cutting down on driving every where because of gas prices.
Today we will celebrate Earth Day by bringing gloves to the playground and picking up trash before we play!
We use reusable grocery bags and we recycle our newspapers. We also try to recycle all our cans, bottles and plastic bags. I don’t like seeing bags blowing around that could endanger the wild life.
We are recycling old cell phones and batteries, taking old paint to the village to be disposed of properly and then going to the zoo ๐
This Earth Day is rainy and cold! So I grabbed myself a happy Vera Bradley bag for the day and headed off to work! Each year I take my daughter, now 6 years old, to a store and we buy a tree to plant!
Recycling! Which we do everyday but really get the kids involved!
LOVE ITTTTT ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐
This would be such a nice way to be able to be Earth friendly and stylish at the same time. Would love to have it!!
I love vera’s reusable totes – makes it fashionable to be green!
I carpool to school and I use my Vera Bradley lunchbox everyday instead of wasting paper or plastic bags!
We use reusable shopping bags, recycle our paper, plastic, glass and cans…and my daughter and I will be planting some this weekend!
We use totes all the time. I leave them in my car for the grocery store, framers market, shopping mall or anyway I may need them. We also collect the tops of the plastics bottles from friends to recycle. We have stainless steel water bottles and use lunch bags instead of brown paper bags ever day. Not only does it save the enviroment but it saves us money also.
I just went to my favorite coffee place and got my beverage of choice in my travel mug and will later get some groceries in my reusable tote!
I am hoping to plant a cherry blossom tree in my front yard today to celebrate Earth Day and maybe switch some of my bills to online payments to eliminate paper billing.
We celebrate Earth Day everyday…reusable travel mugs for morning commute coffee, reusable shopping bags for our trips to the store, and cloth diapers for our little 3 month old’s bottom.
Happy Earth Day!
I love Earth Day!! We recycle everyday!
My kids and I are going to plant trees today! I also plan on using reusable totes at the grocery store today. Of course, I’d look absolutely exquisite with one of your pretty bags. Maybe next trip??? ๐
I recycle everyday not only on Earth Day. I use reusable totes for EVERYTHING from shopping, traveling and my latest… moving! This way I didn’t have to use so many boxes. Needless to say my bags get some use. I would love to have a colorful tote rather than the boring, flimsy store totes I have now. Be earthwise everyday, not only today!!!!!!
Love it. Great way to celebrate earth day.
My 3 year old son and I are planing a tree in honor of earthday!
Checking out a rainwater barrel, would love a tote!
We have 2! Do it. You won’t regret it. We could honestly use 2 more. They have them through our county water department and were very reasonable. I’ve seen people decorate them beautifully!
In respect for Earth Day! Today we are cutting the grass, and planting new flowers in the yard. As well as using resusable totes for all of our shopping needs today. Also adding a bird feeder, and bird bath to the back yard. Happy Earth Day!! Please Recycle!
This would be a great bag to have for shopping for sure
All year long I use reusable shopping bags. We also recycle our cans and plastic bottles. I always bring in my travel mug when I get coffee. For Earth Day we are planting a tree and have recycled the clothes we do not need any longer.
Planting seeds in our garden! I love Earth Day!
Thanks Vera for helping celebrate Earth Day with your kind offers. Vera Bradley is a fashionable staple we actually use to help save mother earth. Love & Prayers.
Love this bag!!! I want 10 of them. Would be so very useful and trendy at the same time. ๐
I love this Viva La Vera pattern, it is bright, fresh, and happy! What a good way to celebrate Earth Day ๐ Go Green!
We recycle newspapers and cans,some plastic!
Today I will be using my reusable totes for grocery shopping! I’ve been doing this for a few years now, and can only imagine how many plastic bags I alone have saved. This new Vera tote is gorgeous! If I can’t win one- hopefully I will be able to buy it! ๐
would love to have one and use when i shop
I just packed both my girl’s lunches completely waste free-no disposable paper or plastic! I even gave them both a real bamboo fork and a cloth napkin to compliment the thermos and plastic tupperware boxes. I then neatly placed all the goods in their Vera Bradley ‘Let’s Do Lunch’ lunch bag! Yum!
Today we’ll plant summer veggies to eat and ride our bikes instead of driving cars. One day a week we will do this to improve the planet and our bodies.
Great topic! Just yesterday as I was in the check out line at the grocery store, I happened to look ahead and saw the display of the reusable shopping bags you can purchase and I made a mental note that next week when I do my shopping, I’m buying a bunch and am going to start using them. It kind of makes me sick to think of all the plastic bags I have thrown away over the years. I have been an avid recycler for over 20 years and every week I put out two bins of paper, cans, glass, etc. for trash collection. Luckily my community has curbside recycling. Anything not collected curbside goes to a recycling center.
I would love to win a bag! I hate people that make polution since my house is on an end of a road, everybody throws their garbage so I pick everything up! Also did you know that people shouldn’t use water bottles because if they do then the water bottle won’t get broken down and go into the Pacific. One last thing is if you really want world peace go outside and pick up garbage and help the Earth!:)
I love this beautiful bag. Happy Earth Day
I teach at our Y and re-fill my metal water bottle every time I go there. We are recycling our newspapers and other paper prods. today and I’ll be using my reusable totes for grocery shopping today.
I always recycle at home, I’ve planted many plants and trees at home. My entire house has the energy saving light bulbs, all of my appliances are energy savers ๐
When I shop I use my reusable shopping bags pretty much everywhere I go and if I have plastic bags at home I’ll reuse them around the house; my cleaning products are environmentally friendly for the most part. Earth day is pretty much everyday in my house ๐
EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS!
Walk more -Drive less
I am drinking my coffee at home this morning. I am using my Vera Bradley reusable bags (from previous years) when I shop today. I also use them for my business to carry catalogs & clip boards. I’m eating organic greens for lunch. My husband & I are putting our compost pile to good use – banana peels, cucumber peelings, onion skin………
We recycle !
I love reusable shopping bags!!! I think everybody should join in to be green and lessen the use of plastic bags, and to save trees by also lessen the use of paper bags.
Plant a tree for earth day and reuse and recycle at all times when possible!
Happy earth day!
Oops…correcting!
……and to save trees by also lessening the use of paper bags.
๐
Every day is Earth Day for me! I am an arborist for a major city. Caring for and planting trees are primary parts of my profession. I quit buying bottled water last year. I now use a water filter and reusable cups/mugs/bottles. I try to intergrate public transportation into recreational travel to lessen my carbon foot print. The one habit I am yet to adopt is carrying the reusable bags. I think a cute VB one may just be the way to foster more green in my life =-)
This bag is soo cute! I can’t wait to carry my groceries home in one of these. Knowing me though, as cute as the bag is it will get used for much more than groceries!! ๐
My husband and I are taking our little boy to see Disney’s African Cats, which opens today in celebration of Earth Day!
A great way to spend earth day with your kids is to teaching them about the importance of being green. From recycling and reusing things to watching how much water and energy we use, families can try some earth- friendly things in the kitchen. A Vera shopping bag would make the most stylish Mom in the store!
Our goal is to model Earth Day everyday, so it will be a daily practice for our children in the future. Working on our compost pile, recycling and taking clothes to Goodwill are all part of our celebration today. Lovin’ the fun versitle Vera!
I LOVE VB. I am a HUGE fan and spend way too much money on new things that come out. I have gotten to know the staff at my local Hallmark where I buy my VB. They keep me posted on sales and new produts. This bag would be great to use to take to the stores so I don’t have to waste paper.
My wife would love this bag for her grocery shopping. We will be planting our garden this week.
Bags like this make it fashionable to carry your own and leave the generic bags at the store. Thanks so much!
To celebrate earth day, I am using Vera Bradley reusable shopping bags as ‘Easter baskets’ stuffed with goodies for my friends and family.
I will be shopping with my sister using the reusable shopping bags she made for all my sisters out of old jeans. My Mom taught us all early to recycle and reduce waste. She recycled newspapers, cans, and bottles in the 1970’s through a drop off sight run by the local boyscout troop. All 6 of her kids continue to recycle through our respective local programs – she set a great example for us all!
We always recycle paper and plastics at our house. My 11 year old daughter was the one who campaigned so hard for this and finally even brought my mom around to it! My daughter even collects her used paper to send with me to my office to put in our collection bins we all have in our offices. We also use the cloth shopping bags instead of the plastic ones from the store. Today, I will go by Starbucks with my reusable coffee mug. I would really love to add the Viva La Vera Shopper Tote to my shopping bag collection! Happy Earth Day!
Earth Day was celebrated by community clean-up with high school students and various service organizations—–but, where is Spring!
I LOVE this bag! I celebrate Earth Day by celebrating my birthday!! ๐ I ususally plant in the garden and take my recycling to the recycling center.
I am using my travel mug today and walking to class, like I always do! I love reusable shopping bags and could definitely use a new Vera one!
Would love to go outside and clean up the yard but to wet!!! Thanks for the giveaway
Love reusable shopping bags!! Love Vera Bradley!!
On this Earth Day, me and two other girls from my college are packing up our Vera Bradley bags and carpooling back home for the Easter weekend! I’m going to be starting to do my own grocery shopping next year, and would LOVE to have this Viva La Vera bag to do it in style, everyone will be “green” with envy ๐
My family is celebrating Earth Day this Easter season with gratefulness to God for the beautiful gifts of creation and salvation! As always, I’ll be taking practical steps to reduce my family’s eco-footprint!!
I love my reusable shopping bags from Harris Teeter but a Vera bag would be much cuter ๐ I love my Vera! Target even gives you a few pennies when you shop with your reusable bag! Today my 3 year and I will be decorating easter eggs and decorating the egg containers to display our art work. I hope everyone has a wonderful earth day and easter weekend!
I love my Vera and use it for everything! It’s durable, beautiful and practical. If I am lucky enough to win this adorable bag I will give it to my sweet Mom who loves to shop! Then I’ll have to buy one for myself so I can also stop using plastic!
In honor of Earth Day…I plan to keep doing what I have been doing…no plastic just reusable bags, drive my hybrid car, use my mug versus getting a cup of joe, recycling….CAUSE everyday should be Earth Day!!!
We use reusable shopping bags when we go shopping. Also.. refilling a water bottle is good!
Happy Earth Day:) we were going to plant a couple of trees but it storming here today. Instead I’m going to work on recycling my kool-aide pouches:) into cute little purses
I love V.B. products, as they were conscious of our Earth invironment from the very begining! I still have the very first bag I ever bought!
To celebrate Earth Day, we are going to take some of old electronics to a local recycling drive!
Every day is Earth Day!
I’m teleworking from home today ๐
I am celebrating earth day by working in my office with the lights off (thank God for big windows) and walking my daughter home from daycare!
To celebrate Earth Day I used my travel mug when I got coffee this morning and brought my resuable bags to do some shopping at lunch.
Toting a Vera reusable bag is a beautiful way to remind everyone that its the little things we do each day that make such a big difference.
We are a recycling family as is our entire neighborhood. We have all been amazed at the reduction in garbage since we adopted the recycling program. It is amazing the creative ways you can reuse everyday items. Some of our trash has found its way into craft projects as well as our gardens. A little effort goes a long way.
To celebrate Earth Day I will REMEMBER to bring my bags into the grocery store with me instead of forgetting them in my car!!!
I will look so fashionable as I recycle!
My girls’ elementary school participates in the Terracycle program which recycles SO many items like candy wrappers, snack wrappers, juice pouches….so this Easter weekend/Earth Day as I put together the Easter goodie bags for the cousins, all of the candy bags (and any wrappers of candies that may somehow become unwrapped as I assemble the goodies) will be set aside for Terracycle and sent into school on Tuesday! Go Green!!
I am using my travel mug as I always do and am using reusable grocery bags to do my shopping. I will also be walking to get my lunch as opposed to driving there today.
Vera Bradley is awesome!! I love showing off my new things. What another great way to show her off by using her reusable bag.
I spent last weekend participating in the Charles River Clean Up around Boston MA. We spent Saturday picking up trash along the river. Each little candy wrapper and styrofoamcup adds up! A little bit goes a long way. We filled MANY bags of trash and were thanked by the budding spring flowers and the onlooking ducks ๐
Our Cub scout pack is leading a clothing drive for a homeless rescue mission…passing on the values of caring, sharing and reusing are priceless:)
I use resuable grovery bags on every shopping trip. Not only are they great because they’re reusable but you can load more groceries in them and they are so much easier to carry than plastic or paper bags!
Happy Earth Day! Cleaning my closet today and will make a donation to charity.
I take my re-usable totes with me to the grocery store each week, trying to save as many trees as possible! I would love to have the beautiful Vera Tote to take along on my shopping trips. GO GREEN!
Giving Glory to the one who creates it all!
Very cute tote bag. Would love to win.
I love Vera Bradley and I love using my reusable totes to do my shopping!
This Earth Day I am going to ride my bike all day and plant a tree in my back yard.
Happy Earth Day everyone! We’re spending the day beautifying our neighborhood by picking up trash and planting flowers. Have a great day!

To celebrate “Earth Day”, we celebrate the day the earth/death could not hold Him from the grave. John 3:16
I took my travel mug in to Starbucks to get free coffee. I am using reusable shopping bags for all my shopping and we are starting to plant our vegetable garden as well. Tomorrow we are going to Lowes to receive our free tree saplings.
As a second grade teacher, we celebrated Earth Day in the classroom by discussing recycling and setting up our own compost bin! The kids were so excited to be involved and are encouraging their parents to recycle!
Instead of stopping at Dunkin Donuts for coffee this afternoon, I’ll make it at home and use a regular ceramic mug instead. I’m also switching into a green/blue Vera Bradley purse – my English Meadow Squared Away! ๐
I am going to start using more re-usable shopping bags. I have enough of them, but always forget to put them in my car.
Recycle and reuse!
We are traveling today, so I can’t say we are conserving gas, but on a daily basis, our family uses reusable water bottles and coffee mugs, we recycle, and I love reusable shopping totes, for more than even just shopping. Would love to add the Vera to my collection!
I love reusable bags! We use them when we go shopping, to the library, for work, school, etc.. We try to recycle & reuse as much as possible – every day, not just Earth Day!
I always use the recyclable bags for the supermarket and shopping for clothes. I recycle every piece of paper and cardboard, every can and bottle, plastic and glass. As a teacher, I have 3 bins in my classroom to encourage recycling by my students as well. I have just renewed my driver’s license and have become an organ donor. Why not recycle everything?
I love reusable totes. As a teacher I use them to carry lunches on field trips. It fun to go to the farmers with festive earth friendly totes.
To celebrate earth day I am going to recycle the paper that we throw away at work!
For Earth Day this year I am going to plant a tree with my family!
What would my girls do without their Vera bags. Wonderful college bags, to short trips out of town. They just go everywhere….
My family is planting 2 Lilac bushes and 10 flowering trees this weekend in celebration of Earth Day to celebrate our love for Mother Earth! Today I am making my weekly trip to the recycling center. I would love a Vera Bradley reusable shopping tote! I could combine 2 of my favorite things Vera Bradley and shopping with reusable bags!
That is the most beautiful reusable shopping tote that I have ever seen!!
I will be using reusable shopping bags and stopping at Starbucks with my reusable coffee mug to take advantage of their free offer! ๐
I’m taking plastic bags to the Disney Store and then taking old cosmetics to Origins to recycle. Then we plan to go to Lowe’s to get a tree to plant. I am also making a promise to myself to try to be more conscious about using the reusable totes when I do my shopping so I plan to keep them in my car so I can’t forget to take them to the store. I’d love a Vera one to put in the mix =)
I love reusuable shopping bags! These Vera Bradley bags are by far the cutest I have seen.
We love to use recycle totes. Wow, to have a Vera Bradley tote, would really be toting in style. Pick me. Love everything you make. Happy Earth Day to all. Treat her gently.
What a wonderful giveaway…I would use this bag as a diaper bag..it is beautiful.
We are going to the beach to do a clean up today with my children..
We’ll do the same as always, recycle, use our energy efficient, low water appliances. I’ll make sure to take my plastic bags to Wal-Mart to be recycled. I have many reusable bags from several different grocery stores, but they are ugly! Would love to have a pretty one!
Love the reusable totes! I help the planet and always bring my reusable cup to the coffee shop!
This year on earth day we will be planting trees around our yard. Everyday we recycle everything we can, use reusable shopping bags, eat organic, buy used whenever possible, and don’t drive someplace unless necessary.
As a teacher, we spent the week talking about the earth and recycling. I save everything that can be used again in classroom projects, etc. More stores should follow Vera Bradley’s lead and give away reusable bags. We are win when they do!
I’ll take my travel mug to Starbucks for a free coffee! Also, buy more reusable grocery bags. They are so much easier to carry groceries in than plastic ones.
This is awesome, I would love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On earth day me and my family like to plant a tree and then we enjoy a nice day outside. At about noon we have a picnic, only using reusable containers. We really look forward to earth day!
-Caitlin Doherty-
I always use reusable bags to do my shopping. Today I am stopping by an earth day celebration to recyle my old TV. Thanks vera for offering fashionable reusable totes. I already have three others from Vera that I use constantly.
What a fashionable way to be earth friendly!
Recyle, buy “green products”, plant trees!
I’m celebrating earth day by using reusable cups! ๐
I do a daily craft with my two year old. Today we are using items from our recycle tub. When running our errands we ALWAYS use our reusable shopping totes. My favorite is Vera’s “Sittin’ in a Tree”. Would love to add to my collection ๐
I love these reuseable bags and why not be stylish and ecofriendly at the same time. Love them!!
Today I am celebrating by taking my boys outside and having them help me prepare my flower and vegetable gardens! We also will be going grocery shopping with our reusable bags! Happy Earth Day!
To Celebrate Earth Day this year my daughter and I will be going to see the new Disney Earth day movie. And this weekend we will be planting a tree in our front yard!
We are continuing to do a better job recycling.
Thank you Mother Earth! This house reduces, reuses and definately recycles! I would love to add this tote to my others- ALWAYS use them at the grocery stores, now I am starting to use them at other stores! It is such a pretty bag!
My family recycles all paper, glass, cardboard etc on a weekly basis. Also, I recycle all drink cans and bottles. I am also a frequent flyer at Goodwill…I donate on a regular basis!
We are planting a garden for summer fruits and veggies!
I am celebrating Earth Day by teaching my students about ways to keep our earth healthy!
I try to celebrate Earth Day everyday — we recycle, make filtered water instead of buying plastic bottles, composte our organic waste, make our own earth friendly laundry detergents and cleaners, use eco-mugs for coffee and compost our grounds, use reusable bags for all our shopping– but today since it is Earth day I plan on reminding my friends and family to make changes in their lives to help save our planet and I as well will be extremely aware of this on today– and so I am planning on meeting my friends for coffee at Starbucks with our reusable mugs for coffee this afternoon. ๐
Cute bag! I always use reusable bags for my groceries. I have used the old plastic bags to make crocheted totes. They are so poular with my friends. : )
Celebrating earth day camping. Enjoying the great outdoors!!
I love using re-useable totes! They are strong and make it easier to carry your purchase, how fun to use a Vera! Would make a great gift for a “non-user”, my first one was a gift from a friend. Going to plant a tree for earth day.
Today is my daughter’s birthday. She was born on Earth Day and she has made us more Earth savvy! Since she was little she has always wanted to recycle and help save the Earth! I try to make her proud of using reusable shopping bags, biodegradable things and I hope I make her proud! Happy Earth Day everyone and try to live it every single day not just today!!!!
A beautiful bag for a beautiful earth!
OH OH OH PICK ME PICK ME PICK ME!!! Long time LOVE for Vera Bradley bags! They are gorgeous, and i don’t buy anything else! ๐
My boys and I are going to plant flowers and a tree!
For our family earth day is everyday. We use plastic containers for our lunches instead of baggies. We are very conscious about recycling and using recycled products, especially using the cloth bags for grocery shopping.
As we do every earth day, we plant a new tree in our backyard.
I’m celebrating Earth Day by recycling…would love to win a reusable Vera bag too! ๐

Today, I will be teaching my kids about Earth day with fun projects & later going to see African Cats.
I would love this. I am going to try to walk more places today, rather than drive.
Happy Easter Vera! I love your spring bags!
To celebrate Earth Day, I just filled a large reusable cup with ice and water that should last me the whole day instead of drinking out of plastic bottles, which I usually go through about 6 a day!
I try never to use plastic bag,sometimes it caaan be a challenge. This bag is so pretty it would make me skip plastic more . Smiles!
My mom, sister, niece and I have a garage sale every year – this year’s is the third weekend in May. We love to keep our homes nice and organized – and we all LOVE Vera Bradley!
Carpooled to work, using travel mug all day, and trying to reduce amount of electricity used as well! Happy Earth Day!!
LOVE the shopping bag…would love to add it to my collection!
Going for a hike!
I have trained myself to remember my reusable bags and would love to win a Vera Bradley one!
I would love to use your Vera Bradly reusuable tote for my groceries. I would like to help the best way and every way I can to save the earth because the earth gives me back soo very much. I wanna stop filling our Land Fills. Your bags would help save the earth. Thanks for offering them to all of us. Happy Earthday. Happy Easter!
I am using travel coffee mugs instead of paper coffee cups for my morning on-the-way-to-work coffee every morning and I use reusable shopping bags every time I visit the grocery store!
I’ll be using my refillable water bottle & recycling our newspapers/cans. The VLV Shopper tote is too cute! I need one to go with my NO one.
I’m planting flowers today to celebrate Earth Day. We’re also making recycling bins to make recycling easier for our family.
I am celebrating Earth Day by planting a tree! I choose to recycle our oxygen today!
I love to use reusuable shopping bags. I keep a fold up one in my purse. I celebrate earthday daily with these bags. I use resuable coffee cups, and refillable water bottles. I love reusable bags and Vera Bradley! Why not put it together!!! ๐
Happy Earth Day…would love to have one.
I love using the shopper totes! They are a great way to spruce up my shopping trips and it helps reduce the use of plastic bags!
We try to be earth friendly all the time! We use cloth napkins and cleaning rags at home. Fill our recycling bin to the brim. I bring recyclables from the office. I’ve stocked the office with ceramic coffee mugs to encourage less use of the disposables. I purchase biodegradable cleaning supplies for the home and office. I use a DivaCup for feminine needs (Life changing seriously look it up). We use natural gardening and lawn care methods. We use reusable shopping bags and wine totes. Try to use fabric or reuse gift bags for holiday gifts. We keep a compost bin. We get our meat from a local farm through CSA. We try to purchase organic or local whenever we can. Once you make a few small changes itโs easy to make others!! Happy Earth Day!
This is a perfect gift for Earth Day !
To celebrate Earth Day we are starting our recycling program at One Lucky Guitar and they will be delivering our bins today!
I teach my kids that every day is Earth Day! Happy Earth Day! I’d love the bag!
This Earth Day we will be installing a patio area in our backyard. We will then landscape with flowers and trees.
I already did two things this
Morning. I made a decision to do away with buying bottled water and bought 2 water bottles for home and work. Also I still buy my grown kids who are away from home Easter baskets with candy but this year with Earth day in mind they are getting baskets with flower and herb seeds and garden tools
I love the bag. We use them at our local grocery store, Wegmans. I love all Vera. I would love to win.
I will be celebrating earth day with my husband who just got home from Afghanistan. We will be planting a tree.
I love using reusable bags, there are way too many plastic bags in this world! For work I use my reusable plastic ware for lunches & take my drink in a travel mug. I try my best to reuse, reuse & reuse, not just for Earth Day but for everyday.
I’m teaching my kids how to reuse items on their grandpa’s farm to make crafts.
I took my VB totes to my first trip to the Annapolis Mall. We had visited the Lego store and were able to put all of our purchases in the totes and save 2 big Lego bags. We were also able to put our VB purchases in there and other stores. What a great way to look fashionable at the mall, much better than carrying the grocery store ones! I am hoping you make them in other prints, love how they are easy to clean also.
I have started using reuseable bags at the grocery – every time!!!!! At first I had to put a reminder on my dashboard to remember to take the bags in with me, but now it is second nature to grab the bags before leaving the car. Also, I drive a Hybrid car and feel that it helps the environment.
My children learned from a very early age that we recycle all paper, plastic and cans. We have 30 acres of land and we schedule trash collection days where we load up the tractor & trailer and go around our land, picking up the trash that people have thrown out. The kids think it’s fun to clean up “God’s green Earth”. We are trying to instill in them that we should always leave any place we visit cleaner than we found it!
To celebrate Earth Day we are using reusable grocery bags and cloth diapers!
i love using the reusable shopping totes they are great for grocery shopping and also for my job!!! i also have been doing major spring cleaning and have been donating old clothes shoes etc… i do it a few times a year.
I celebrate Earth Day everyday by recycling and using totes for all of my shopping.
Love the idea of Vera’s reusable totes – can stop with the awful plastic bags!! Love to have one to show off!

Love it!

Recycle whenever possible
Happy Earth Day – Love the tote!!!!
To celebrate Earth Day I am going to my campus’ agricultural department to help them plant trees around our plaza. My leadership club will also be hosting a decorate-a-pot session and get a free plant to have in your home! It is certainly important to celebrate our mother Earth and giveback to our natural habitat. Thank you Vera Bradley for always keeping everyone aware of the different ways we can contribute to our communities.
I am using reusable shopping bags and heading to Lowes to get a new tree for our house.
On earth day this year we are planning to make a mini garden in our back yard as a family project. Also I would like to go around our neighborhood and collect the trash all over the ground. I want to raise my children up to care about our EARTH! ๐
I help out with my school. We clean campus, and recycle.
For earth-day I do my groceries by bike using my basket to take the groceries home. And I only buy what I really need and not extra extra extra because it’s Easter.
I love my totes, especially the insulated ones. I am a coupon shopper, so it allows to me to visit a couple of stores in one day out!!!! HAPPY EARTH DAY!
i’m planning a garden for the first time. hope to grow a few tomatoes and peppers – starting small and really looking forward to it. ๐
I use reusable shopping bags all the time and this one will be a great addition to my collection! Just one small step toward a better environment! We can all do it..one fashionably reusable bag at a time! Happy Earth Day!
I love reusable shopping totes, especially in a pretty Vera print! Not only does it help save the earth, I find it easier to carry a couple reusable bags inside, instead of a ton of plastic ones provided by the store.
Earth Day is one of my favorite days!! ๐ Today for in the celebration of our Earth I will use my reusable shopping bags for all my Easter shopping. I brought my coffee in a travel mug and my water in a reusable bottle. I took a short shower to conserve water, left lights off if they weren’t needed and today I will refrain from turning on my television. I also plan to go see Africa Cats tomorrow by DisneyNature because they will donate to Save the Savanna for every ticket purchased opening weekend!
I’m trying to win for my daughter!
I used my tumbler to get my FREE tea this morning!!! =) And, I would love to enjoy a FREE shopping tote!! =) PICK ME!!
I am celebrating Earth Day by using my VB market totes and of course continuing to recycle.
I’m celebrating Earth Day by unplugging all unnecessary electronics and donating my old books to the library!
We are planting a tree today + visiting the Garfield Conservatory tomorrow.
My grandchildren are great examples of recyling all items possible. I am doing all I can to do the same. It is so important that we take better care of our planet for generations to come. I use reusable grocery bags and my own travel coffee mug daily. We can make a difference.
Love it!
I love the reusable totes and I LOVE Vera Bradley! What a perfect combination!

BLH
Today, we will make bird feeders and then go through the toys and recycle them–the broken ones will go out with the recycling and the unused, but good ones will be donated.
Reusable bags are the way to go! I use them all the time.
I LOVE VB. This would be a great bag to use to go shopping to help save on paper. I have gotten to know the staff at the Hallmark store here in my town that sells VB. They always let me know about upcoming sales, retiring patterns, new products, etc. I would LOVE to win this bag.
My sister would like this!
I am celebrating Earth Day by using my earth-friendly shopping bags, drinking coffee/water at home or in a travel mug, and taking a walk this afternoon with a garbage bag. Any trash that I see lying around, I will dispose of and make this planet more beautiful! Imagine if we all decided to celebrate Earth Day even once a month instead of one a year!!! ๐
I have been using left over baby wipe boxes for storing items such as cleaning rags. I cover the boxes with scrapbooking paper and use cut out letters to label whats inside and other craft supplies to decorate them with. That way the family knows just where to find things
Happy Earth Day to everyone and PEACE be with everyone on this Good Friday. Lets all try to be good stewards for this beautiful earth that our Heavenly Father created for us. Thank you Vera Bradley for the great pattern on the shopping bag. Happy Easter to all.
To celebrate Earth Day and every day, my husband and I get our morning coffee in our reusable mugs instead of the wasteful paper cups and plastic lids.
My seven year old and I are making edible dirt :), going over how we currently recycle and planting spring flowers (finally)!

Recycling, composting and keeping unneccesary lights off and using cfls.

I used my VB paprika backpack today for my commute to work on public transportation. I will be shopping with my VB market totes which I love! Can never get enough totes for all the shopping I love to do!
Am using my Vera “stuff” on my journey to England.
To support Earth Day I will use my BPA free re-fillable water bottle (just like everyday) and I will use my re-usable shopping bags to buy my Easter dinner. Also, I work all day (in the largest electronics store in the US) so, I will encourage customers to just carry their purchase instead of using a plastic bag to help support as well. ๐
I am refurbishing my kitchen cabinets instead of getting new ones. Keeps the old cabinets out of the landfill or being burned! Lots of work but so worth the effort!! ๐
I’m planting a fresh herb garden! I could use one of those totes to carry around my gardening supplies! ๐
As a school principal I share several stories with the students and invite in a special guest speaker from our recycling center here in town. I also encourage families to visit the local library for a free tree giveaway!!!
Great ideas. My son, age 6, learned about earth day at school. He keeps telling me not to “trash” the earth, but he wants to know if we should “trash” Mars.
Enjoying my yard with 400 trees.
I am dropping off recycling, picking up a cup of coffee in my own mug, going shopping later and bringing my own reusable totes.

I use reusable shopping bags whenever grocery shopping, use reusable travel mugs for coffee and tea and try to recycle as much paper, plastic and glass in the home as possible. And it sure would be nice to have one of those stylish totes!
We are spending the entire weekend at home-using no gas!
I love my Vera!!! I’m going to plant some herbs and a veggie garden out back with my daughter.
We are celebrating earth day by recycling old patio furniture at our local recycling center. I also have decided no more paper plates and cups. Washing the ceramic plates we have is not that big of a deal!
we love to recycle and keep the earth clean!!!! every earth day we go out and clean up!!!!
For Earth Day, I am using my reusable tote to carry things in to work. I am also looking at ways for our office to be more “green”. I love the reusable totes to go grocery shopping. I’ve even gotten my husband to use them! We shop for 3 children and I need all the bags I can get! My goal is to walk out of the store w/o one single plastic bag!

I have the “Sitting in a Tree” shopper from last year. I absolutely love it! So durable and earth friendly!
LOVE this tote! ๐
For earth day this year, my sixteen month old daughter Alexis and I are decorating recycling bins. If I can make the bins fun and cute, she will learn early on that recyling helps everyone! And THAT is fun ๐ She already knows where the plastic bottles go.
Spending Earth Day doing spring clean-up in our yard. We’re big on composting, recycling yard waste and reusing rain water. Then we’re off to see the Disney African Cats movie!

Love the bag. If I am not lucky enough to win one I hope it will be available for purchase.
To celebrate Earth Day today I am getting together some earth day coloring pages for my 4 year old daughter and then we are making a pine cone bird feeder. She loves little arts and crafts so we try and do them according to the day! After if the weather is nice we will go on a picnic! Such a fun and easy way to spend earth day!
Will be using the resuable bags I have to shop. Would love to have a Vera bag to add to the plain green ones I have.
Celebrating Earth Day by planting a new tree in the garden this afternoon.
We are planting flowers at one of our city parks.

Happy Earth Day!!!
I did my Easter shopping this morning using one of my Vera Reusable totes. Would love to have another one to use.

I am working from home on my computer today, rather than driving 50 miles round-trip to the office. I will also be combining errands to use less gas.
I took a 2 minute shower this morning to save water! and I would love this tote to pack up to take to Mom’s house for the weekend ๐
reusable shopping bags!!
I would love to have the tote. I carry stuff to work everyday and that would be perfect. For earth day i am taking all my plastic bags to the recycle bin at the store.
Spending the day at horticulture gardens!
I love reuseable bags, I keep them all together in my trunk of my car so when im out shopping I can gather them and use them. I recycle just about everything, In our town we have a recycle trash can at the curb that the city provides and we fill it up just about once a week when they come. I love earth day!!!!
To celebrate Earth Day every day, I have started walking to work. It would be nice to have the Vera Bradley Shopper Tote to help me “tote” my lunch and miscellaneous items to work!
Recycling today and using reusable mugs. Our celebration was last Saturday when we helped clean up our local park.
I would love a Vera Bradley shopping tote. I am a big fan of recycling.
Earth Day is one of the most important days we can celebrate. It lets everyone be aware of the damage we are causing and how we are slowing uses up all the resources.
Everyone needs to recycle! Make a compost pile- it is a great fertilizer for your plants. Reuse cardboard boxs. Reuse plastic bottles. Take public transportation instead of driving by yourself. Walk to place’s instead of driving. It is little things like this, that is ultimately going to help preserve the planet EARTH!
If each one of use did these few things it would make such a difference.
Please e-mail me if you would like to continue this…

I keep the totes in the back of my car so I am always prepared when shopping. No more plastic bags for me.
In honor of Earth Day, I will be planting a tree!
I love reusable totes! I’d love to add this beautiful on to my collection. It would be my new favorite!
I love using the shopper totes, they are easy to carry and better for the earth!!
For Earth Day and Everyday, we (the hubby and I) use reusable tote bags for everything- groceries, Costco shopping, Walmart shopping, farmers market, etc… We have been using reusable tote bags for years now and love it. We know that we are saving the planet one bag at a time. I would love to use a Vera Bradley Shoppers Tote bag when I do all my shopping! What a great way to show off my favorite Viva la Vera Bag. Thank you Vera for the coming up with such a beautiful bag and saving the planet slowly but surely.
My sons (ages 5 and 3) have been growing flowers and vegatables in our kitchen window for weeks and we are moving them outside today to their “thank you Earth” garden (they named it). We are also having a no TV day. We also are helping a local church plant trees later this afternoon, I love that my boys want to do all these things willingly!
So pretty!
I always carry my own shopping bag and one of my 30+ vera bradly purses. I love the earth, the Father has given us and I’m crazy about Vera Bradley and hope to win one of the fabulous shopping bags. Hopefully i’ll be gardening today.
I would love to win that shopping bag!!
saving the earth in style!
Today I will make sure to take my reusable bags with me everywhere I go shopping. I am making sure all the recyclables are going in the right bins (even seperating the plastic on cardboard packages). We will use as much as possible in art projects so we have less to throw out.
Earth Day is shared with my best friend’s birthday. In honor of them both I have made a commitment to use my coffee tumbler every time I get coffee out so I don’t waste unneeded disposable coffee cups. It is a little gesture; but if I commit to it and actually do it (which is my goal)) I can contribute to making a difference in my own small way. If everyone does this we can make a difference together!
I am making sure our recycling habits are in place and the kids and I follow them to the T! And I put all the recycled shopping bags back in the car so I don’t have to use the plastic bags in the store!
I love reusable shopping bags! We use them all of the time in our house. I would love to win a Vera Bradley one!
I recycle all my glass, plastic and tin cans-my township provides each household with a large bucket to hold the items and they pick them up every other week. I love the Vera Bradley tote, it is so pretty to take to the store.
On this Earth Day, we are recognizing this event at school with our lunches being served in reusable totes. (wish they could have been VB!). Our students have an option of PB & J, tuna or ham sandwiches to choose from.

I use reusable shopping bags when I go to the grocery store!
I love the tote. For earth day i am taking all my plastic bags back to the store and put them in the recycle bin.
So cute! My girls love to use these to carry stuff to and from school.
We’re recycling more and buying items with less packaging. I love this bag. I think the pretty bags make me remember my reusable bags!
These bags are great for taking snacks to all my daughter’s softball games!!
Buy recycled paper goods.
I try to reduce, reuse and recycle everyday. I use my Vera lunchbag -and take my lunch in reuseable containers instead of ziplocks. My family recycles and we try to reuse glass and plastic in crafts or sometimes household storage. Everyday is Earthday!
I live in a community that is big on recycling. I recycle everything is can be recycled. I use reusable bags. I switched my contains for leftovers to glass. I am very aware of how much water I use everyday. I never litter. I do not use more than I need.
We celebrate Earth Day all year long. We are big recyclers as we typically have 1 large and 4 small recycling bins taken to the curb every two weeks. We consistently down the things in our home and donate items like clothing and furniture to our local charities. When grocery shopping or shopping at other local stores, we always take in our reusable bags to prevent the use of plastic bags. We LOVE to help preserve our beautiful Earth! โค
I am using a reusable coffee mug and recycling all of my plastic grocery bags. I am also using reusable bags for all my shoppin today.
This bag would be a welcome edition to my Vera collection & reusable tote collection. We are now recycling plastic, paper & cardboard at home & work. Thanks for making a stylist tote. Hopefully my son & husband won’t take this one! Plan on working outside in my yard on this beautiful Earth Day.
Would love to have one of these cute bags for groceries to add to my collection of “non-plastic” bags
This is great, and my current stack of reusauble shopping totes are looking pretty tired these days. Need about 8 of these to replace my old ones!!!
Reduce, reuse, recycle! Walk more, plant more with no pesticides,
and use less energy!
Carpooling to work, using reusable bags and containers for drinks, food, etc
I have been installing rain barrels in my local community for earth week!
On Earth day we are going to a greenhouse as a family and pick out our seedlings for our square foot gardening garden. Then take all of our recyclables to the recycleing center. And then pick up the materials to make a rain barrell to water veggie garden.
I love the color
We are going to Lowes to get a tree to plant! By the way, love the bag!!! I would love one! Love Vera!!
Definitely use reusable totes. Driving much less.
I’ve recently quit purchasing water bottles–I invest in a water filter. It’s much cheaper at the end of the day.
Happy Earth Day! We’re celebrating Earth Day by starting our own compost bin..
My family and I recycle cans,plastic and paper. We use tote bags instead of plastic and if we have plastic bags we use them for trash can bags. We compost. We use the eco-friendly bulbs. We also only use reusable bottles and cups.
What an adorable bag! I use cloth or recycled bags all the time. I hate when I go to a big box store and see them putting ONE box of cereal in a plastic bag. What a waste! I’m spending Earth Day getting ready for Easter!
b.
I am planting a veggie garden!
This will be my first ‘reusable’ bag…Vera Bradley ROCKS!!
Love the tote!! Love earth day too! Wanted to go outside and plant but it is raining today. Will do this on the next pretty day.
I celebrate earth day everyday by always using my other Vera Reusable Shopping tote! We take it to the pool, the library, the grocery store etc… It’s eco-friendly and fashionable!!
Happy Earth Day!
I plan on celebrating my Earth Day giving back to the community. My plan is to help show children what Earth Day is about and how protecting the Earth can better their lives in the future!
I use reusable shopping bags every time we go shopping! I keep a bunch in the car and one tucked in my handbag. I wish every reusable bag I had was as beautiful as this one!
Lights out when not needed.
Cleaning house and taking some stuff to the recycler.
For Earth Day, I am going to ride my bike, open all the blinds (and turn off all lights) and clean out the basement – recycling and upcycling all of our unwanted items!
To celebrate Earth Day we’re turning 2 liter pop bottles into seed planters instead of buying the seed starteres at the store. (We got the idea from Family Fun) We also recycled cardboard from packages to make our own posable Easter bunny decorations instead of purchasing one at the store. I already had the metal brads in my crafting box. My son & I had a great time making our bunnies together & now we have a momento we can hang up from year to year!
I love this Vera bag!! I would use it at the grocery instead of plastic, today in honor of earth day, I have planted a lilac bush.
I guess we must celebrate Earth Day everyday, because we always use reuseable grocery bags!! Love, love, love them!! I keep a supply of them in the back of my truck all the time.
Celebrating Earth Day by using reusable shopping bags, reusable mugs/water bottles, and not turning on lights or running any water unless necessary (we do this everyday!)
For me Earth Day shouold be every day. I recycle, use re-useable bags everytime I go shopping, including past Vera Bradley pattterns, which are gorgrous, amd hve held up great! Today I plan on staying in, not using my car, and just taking it easy on Mother Earth. We also just planted a new tree in our yard.
Love this shopping tote. A great addition to the ones I will be using today while shopping.
It’s beautiful…love to have one..
The earth is what we all have in common.I don’t leave home without my shopper totes, I even have me kids using them for their toys! Happy Earth day!
We are staying home today and later on the kids are going to help me plant a tree and some veggies. ๐
My husband and I are celebrating Earth Day by going on a bike ride this weekend (I will take my Sitting in a Tree- Little Hip Bag of course)….I would have ridden my bike to work today but it’s cold and rainy here in DSM ๐ฆ
Love all of my Vera Bradley bags and duffels – would love to have one of these bags – I actually purchased one from a few years back at our Hallmark Store – they are great to use for anything – especially shopping for more Vera Bradley products!!!
I am celebrating Earth Day by planting a new tree! I also bring my reusable bags with me everywhere, and store workers are always impressed that I have my own bags. I also teach my students about Earth Day, and why it’s so important. We borrowed paper grocery bags from our local grocer, then decorated them with pictures and sayings to remind people how important it is to save the planet. We then gave the bags back to the store, and they used them to pack people’s groceries! It was a great way to remind everyone how important it is to save our Earth!
I would love to win this adorable tote. Thanks for the opportunity!
Karen
I would love this reusable bag! Today I’m celebrating Earth Day by planting flowers with my Girl Scout troop. I am also grocery shopping where I will buy as much as I can from local farmers & use reusable bags. ๐ I sure could use another bag!
To celebrate Earth Day, my Siberian Husky and I are sitting outside enjoying the fresh air, birds chirping, squirrels roaming, flowers blooming, and the green grass!! It’s such a nice day for Earth Day! ๐
Would love to go shopping with the tote!
To celebrate Earth Day we are planting a container garden and using our cars less. I would love to show off my Vera shopping bag with my others.
I am going to clean out my closet and take them to a shelter to celebrate Earth Day!!
We are celebrating Earth Day in many ways! My 3rd grade class created Earth Day T-shirts and did a variety of activities throughout the day yesterday. One of the favorites was walking to the high school for their Earth Day Fair. At home my daughter has a school project and we are building a robot out of our recyclables. We are going grocery shopping and using our reusable bags. We are collecting bottles and boxes for my daughter’s preschool to reuse for their recycling unit.
working, lol
Going to plant a tree.
I’m ditching all of my grocery plastic bags!
coffee mug!
Reusable coffee mug, reusable shopping bags, keeping the lights low in the house, and remembering to turn off the water when brushing!
I am buying more organic or recycled products. We also donate household goods to charity so they can be reused.
I use refillable Nalgene bottles to carry my water with me. So much better than going through multiple plastic water bottles!
Just love Vera Bradley!! Love all the colors!
I am planting blueberry bushes!
Using my recycle bags, take my own mug to obtain my favorite beverages and participate in more programs. This bag will just show everyone that I am committed to doing a better job of going ‘Green’.
I just love my Vera Bradley totes and bags!! To celebrate Earth Day, we are taking our home recycling center materials to be recycled. We will also be using reusable shopping bags to get our Easter groceries this weekend – none of ours are as cute as this Vera reusable bag though!! Thanks for this great opportunity for all of us to stop and share all of our Earth Day plans with one another! What a great way to get everyone inspired to do more for our wonderful planet!! Happy Earth Day!
Celebrating earth day cleaning up the garden, planting a few new plants and a tree. Also teaching the boys to seperate the recyclables
Today for Earth Day, I am using my reusable shopping bags, collecting materials for recycling in my office, and turning off lights when not in use.
Happy Earth Day! Because the weather is so nice out today I will be seeding my chili peppers this afternoon. I try to plant as much produce as I can on my tiny balcony. I was eating grape tomatoes all summer last year! When I do make a trip to the grocery store I always bring my reusable bags. I bring one to work with my lunch and use them to bring items to my parents and friends house. They’re also a nice gift to leave with hosts when you bring something over for dinner! =)
For Earth Day 2011, like every year I will be planting something new and beautiful this afternoon. Tomorrow, I will be taking advantage of Lowe’s 1 Million Tree Giveaway and I will be planting a tree with my 6 year old sister, Madison. All the while teaching her about the importance of our Mother Earth and ways we can help to save, preserve, and prolong her sustainability. We will then be dying eggs using duck and goose eggs kindly provided by the fowl that live at our home.
For Earth Day, my Girl Scout troop will be planting new trees at our local Elementary School to replace the ones that were cut down.
Celebrating earth day by working in the yard and tending to our vegetables that we have planted. We are also recycling coffee grounds! Love the Vera shopping totes! Please pick me to win!
To protect our planet, I try to think of everyday as Earth Day. Vera Bradley products make it easier to reuse, recycle and refresh!
Happy Earth Day!!! My family and are going shopping today and we will use reusable shopping bags…Also we will be planting flowers in honor of Earth Day!!! We also will be cleaning up our road that we live on!!!!
I went from using a gas lawn mower and purchased a reel mower. It saves from buying gas which is sooooo expensive and it’s better for the enviroment. I also recycle papers, cans, grocery stores plastic bags, etc….I would be very proud to carry this Vera Bradley Shopper Tote. Happy Earth Day.
I threw plastic shopping bags and other items in the recycle bin last evening. Sorting clothes and shoes for donation. Looking for items at the store that use less packaging! Would love to win one of the bags!!
We always take our own bags to the store. Also, we collect our rain water.
I always carry my reuseable shopping bags in the trunk of my car. The Vera bag would be the first one I would grab to use! On the days I don’t work, my husband drives my car to work instead of his truck because the car gets MUCH better gas mileage.
We’re refusing to buy any more styrofoam products!
Not knowing it is Earth Day, my son said “recycling saves the earth Mom”. I explained to him how I can re-use my shopping tote at the grocery store to be smart (and stylish!!).
I try to celebrate Earth day all through the year instead of just one day by recycling, trying not to buy things we don’t really need, using things I would otherwise throw away and just trying to lead a more simple life and not buying a lot of “Stuff”.
How Cute! I will remember to take my reusable bags into the store today!:)
Love it!
Great little tote!
I work at a green wellness pharmacy..this would look so nice coming to work everyday….Happy Earth Day!!!!
I love my other re-useable Vera bag!! To celebrate Earth Day I am going to plant my herbs and raspberry bush!
We celebrate Earth Day all year long. We are big recyclers as we typically have 1 large and 4 small recycling bins taken to the curb every two weeks. We consistently down size the things in our home and donate items like clothing and furniture to our local charities. When grocery shopping or shopping at other local stores, we always take in our reusable bags to prevent the use of plastic bags. When out on walks, we are always picking up trash and disposing it when we get home. We LOVE to help preserve our beautiful Earth! โค
Love the reusable bags they are great!! Hope I get picked to win
Heading to the old football stadium on campus where we are forming the earth (continents and all) with people and taking an arial photo.
As a 3rd grade teacher, we will be celebrating Earth Day by doing a trach clean up at our campus. We’ve been discussing the simple way each person can make a “small” difference and they will add up to a “big” difference!
I love this bag. It is the most stylish out of all my reusable grocery bags I have. Our household recycles as much as we can. Newspapers, plastics, etc.
We are going to try to get some tree seedlings today to plant on our new lot we recently purchased for our future home. When we cleared our lot we tried to save as many trees as we could, but some you just could not keep. With all the tree logs that were cut down we were able to donate them and have them recycled to construct childrens log playhouses which makes my husband and I very happy. Happy Earth Day
We cloth diaper and use re-useable grocery bags. Also, our city does not have curb side recycling so we load up every so often and take our plastics and aluminums downtown to the city’s recycling center. Also, lets not forget my eco-friendly “Lets Do Lunch” bag that goes to work with me every day. I would love to have a Vera grocery tote to add to our collection! Happy Earth Day!!!
Hello,
I am no more deserving that anyone else, but I would love to own something from Vera Bradley. I have been wanting something for so long, but always find a reason to save money. As I drove by the headquarters in Fort Wayne last week, all I could think of was going to the outlet sale that I was unable to attend. I am a newlywed & we both want to take care of our environment. I suppose every little bit counts & as frivolous as it may be, I would like to own a beautiful, Vera Bradley reusable tote that I can use when we shop for our “green” products. Thanks & Happy Earth Day!
Today we are cleaning out our closets and donating all that is reusable. I am also putting my shopping bags in by car so if we need them we have them instead of getting plastic bags in the stores.
Love this bag! Could be my perfect shopping companion!
I have the Vera Bradley Shopper Totes. I use them when I go grocery shopping. They are very roomy holding a large quanity. Easy to throw over your shoulder with their strong straps. I have been very impressed of the quality of these totes. When shopping I refuse to accept plastic bags. They are so nasty looking when driving down the road and you can see where the wind has carried them stuck to a tree or fence. And besides I love the compliments I have received. Clerks ask me where did I get these beautiful totes. I tell them only Vera Bradley. I carry nothing else.
Would love to have a reusable bag from Vera……for Earth Day and EVERY DAY!!!
love the bag and the pattern!
We celebrate Earth Day every day. We recycle anything that can be recycled, buy organic when possible, use cfl light bulbs in all our light fixtures, water plants with water from the rain barrel, turn off lights when we leave the room, turn of water while we brush our teeth, & use re-usable shopping bags all the time. I would love to add this pretty bag to my collection!
Using my shopping bags that I carry around in the trunk and often forget to take in the store. Planting a tree, using recycled bottles for water instead of buying another case. Taking my mug to Starbucks instead of using a paper cup, general awareness.
We are planting some trees and we are helping some friends to clean up trash by the river that what we are doing for earth day…..
I am teaching my 5th grade class about recycling. It’s more than just putting paper in the recycle bin. We reuse paper by using the back when we have accomplished the activity on the front. The papers go into each child’s “scrap folder”. They have been using the scrap folder for math computation, note taking, writing directions, friendly letters, etc.
It has become common place to reuse paper in our classroom.
I always keep reusable bags in my trunk for when I go shopping. But they look nothing like this bag. What a cute way to celebrate Earth Day every day.
We recycle everything possible. Also, we love to donate to our local food bank. Not only the food but also clothes, toys, and furniture.
We celebrated Earth Day a little early, since it has been raining here pretty much all week. We planted a herb garden, we started an indigenous flower garden, and we’ve planted two trees in our yard. We’ve also been working on recycling more.
Reusing all water bottles, using non plastic utensils and using reusable shopping bags for groceries.
We have been cleaning & purging. Clothes are going to local High School Clothes Closet and household/other items are going on FREECYCLE!! Check out Freecycle in your area to rid yourself of STUFF!!
We celebrate Earth Day everyday! We recycle, use re-useable shopping bags & earth friendly cleaners, lots of vinegar & lemon around here!!
Today we’ll being dyeing Easter eggs, using onion peels & beets. I also love to give cute re-useable bags as gift bags for birthdays & holidays, so much better than the paper ones!
I love This… What a great way to celebrate earth day vera>>>>
I LOVE Vera and what a great way to cut down on those plastic bags! I always use my cloth bags. It saves so much for the environment.
This bag is so adoreable!!!!!!!!!!
To celebrate earthday, I am recycling now more than ever. I love cutting down on waste in our landfills. I’ll enjoy some time outside if the rain ever quits. The tote is a great work bag and allows me to promote VB wherever I go! Viva VB!
I love this tote! I am going to plant some flowers and plants with my five year old son and 10 month daughter. Also we are doing a bunch of Easter decorating so we are going to have a big day! I love using reusable bags and this one would be a BIG hit. Thanks
To celebrate Earth Day 2011, my children and I are going to make bird feeders out of ice cream cones, smoothered in peanut butter and rolled in bird seed.
To celebrate Earth Day, I am volunteering with other students on my college campus to help pull weeds and plant trees. I am also committing to using reusable shopping bags from now on and using a travel mug for my morning coffee.
Earth day everyday! We do not go shopping without our own bags. Our recycling can is always more full than the garbage. Recycle as much as you can! I am so happy that Vera Bradley supports recycling too!
Taking my four year old grandson to redeem his collection of recyclables. With the money he’s going to buy a tree and some seeds, then we are going to get out the shovels and get dirty.
I’m planting native flowers and using compost to feed the trees and shrubs around our home. Our company does not have (and resists any attempts at starting) a recycling plan so I take all the bottles and cans my coworkers have around the office home with me for recycling. Thankfully many of them have also caught onto the reusable bottle idea (does Vera have one of those – if not, it would be a great idea) so I have less to take home. We always use reusable shopping bags so those will be with me when I shop for our holiday dinner so winning this would definitely be a style boost for me!
I will be cleaning out my flower beds, taking my plastic and cardboard to be recycled and planting a new hydrangea “tree” that was given to me to honor my uncle who passed away Wednesday night. He was a lover of the outdoors and was the original “recycler” in our family!
What a wonderful way to celebrate our beautiful Earth- with a beautiful tote! I am trying to teach my children to conserve by using totes whenever we go shopping! We love Vera!!!
LOVE Vera Bradley totes!
I love this earth day bag design..So cute so lovely..
I will use that bag everytimes when we go to picnic!
Love Vera!
I love Vera, and I love useing reuseable shopping bag, I have a few, but man a vera shopping bad would be so classey. I also use a resuable cup for my coffee and other beverages when on the go. i recycle most anything thats possible.
I love reusable shopping bags– and this one is super cute! Celebrating earth day by planting flowers and other plants!
I would love to get this tote! I love, love, love it! To celebrate earth day our fam recycles and we are planting a tree to watch grow all year long! Go green!!
What a great day to celebrate… Happy Earth Day!
The kids and I are visiting a park and taking bags to clean up trash that’s collected over the winter. We are making watering cans out of milk jugs and decorating them later today.
I love the new shopping bag pattern! I have all of the other ones and use them all the time.
I love Vera Bradley… And I love reusable shopping bags…
Happy Earth Day everyone!
On Sunday, Carbondale was hit with fierce winds cutting off the electricity and internet in our apartment for more than 12 hours. Needless to say all the food in my refrigerator had to be thrown out because I did not want to catch salmonella. I was suppose to head to the grocery store yesterday but more mighty rain plundered our direction. Afraid of our electricity going out again, I did not take the chance. Today, I will be heading to the grocery store with an extensive list of groceries, which means and extensive bundle of plastic bags. With the Vera Bradley- Viva la Vera reusable shopper tote , I would be saving many trees every time I go shopping especially in the month of April alone! Reducing plastic waste would help a lot especially in a time of need like this when everyone’s power went out in Carbondale, some for days.
I love to shop with reuseable bags; recycle everything I can and look for creative ways to repurpose unlikely items such as silver spoon handles made into fun and unique wall hooks! I love Vera Bradley, they bring pretty to a girl’s arm!
My children and I have a library nearby and although we could drive we have more fun walking and using the wagon. My older daughter has fun rollerblading. The benefits are great for a healthier lifestyle and the environment appreciates it too. This is a stylish and functional bag.
For Earth Day we are bringing our old computers and monitors to Best Buy for recycling. Love the Vera bag!
I can’t think of a better way to celebrate earth day than by receiving a free shoppers tote from vera bradley!
My family is celebrating Earth Day by purging our home of things we no longer use and donating them or posting them on Freecycle rather than throwing them in the trash.
I try to be green everyday. I recycle, reuse & plant a garden. I would love a Vera tote to take to the store instead of the drab colored ones I now use. Bright colors always put me in a good mood!
I love the tote. To celebrate earth day this year we’ve begun several projects to help us grow our own vegetables and fruits and we have a contractor coming in on Monday to install a whole house fan so we can cut back on the amount of air conditioning and power we’re using. We also planted 4 new trees this month. I’m loving the opportunities to get back to basics and conserve.
I’ve been a huge propenent of recycling. I’ve even got my fiance recycling everything possible and even using reusable bags! For Earth Day we are planting several trees around our property! Happy Earth Day!
I luv reusable grocery bags.
what a beautiful bag..I love Vera Bradley. Happy Earth Day!!
I try to celebrate Earth Day everyday but this morning my 6 year old son said to me “Mom let’s bring a trash bag on our walk to school today so that we can clean up the trash on the way and help Mother Earth.” So that’s what we did – and unfortunately (or fortunately) we were able to fill a whole bag of trash and cleaned at least one street today.
I have been planting lots of trees and I also recycle whenever possible.
Woohoo for pretty reuseables! I love this bag!!
I’m giving my Mom & my Aunt ceramic thermal cups for hot & cold drinks to use in place of disposable take out cups, and I got one for myself too. Instead of taking two cars on a family road trip, my parents are going to ride with us in our van which helps with the high cost of gas but is great for the Earth too. I feed my toddler organic yogurt. I recycle using one large bin for paper products & another for glass & plastics. Our city very unfortunately doesn’t have curbside recycling so I take my recycling to recycling centers near local parks & businesses when I have to run an errand anyway nearby. I would like to encourage our city to begin curbside recycling.
We recycle and use fallen trees to heat our home with wood. I would love to win!!!
Using my travel mug today along with reusing bags! Saving electricity by opening windows and when using lights I have replaced our bulbs with energy saving ones.
I always use reusable shopping bags when I’m doing my shopping. Not only are they great for the environment, but they are also much more durable then traditional plastic bags. I try to turn lights off when I am not in that room to save energy. Rather then throwing out gallon water jugs, I go to place where I only pay 35 cents per jug to refill it and I can use it again and again. These are things everyone can do and are important for all days, not just on Earth Day. Love my Vera collection and I would love this reusable bag!! Thanks!!
I am celebrating earth day by going to Lowes to get my free tree and planting it with my two year old daughter in our yard.
This year, same as the past 4 years, we will be planting trees to celebrate Earth Day. Each year we, along with a group of others, plant at least 20 trees.
Cute reusable shopping bag! Happy Earth day, everyone!
Love the bags! I try to remember to use them all the time. When I forget we reuse the plastic ones and then recycle.
I’m celebrating by using more reusable bags and limiting my use of disposable items like paper plates and NO foam
For earth day, I will be participating in an attempt toward a Guinness World Record…”The Great Cloth Diaper Change”…the most cloth diapers changed at one time! Cloth diapers are one of our committments to the environment. ๐
I’m enjoying a rainy earth day. Love the shopping bag.
This is a beautiful tote! We recycle, use travel cups and mugs instead of disposable. New this year is a compost pile for the garden. We’ve also planted a butterfly garden in hopes of attracting Monarch Butterflies ๐
to celebrate Earth Day, I am using resusable shopping bags instead of plastic or paper ones.
I’m celebrating Earth Day by continuing sustainable practices that I use every day, and buying organic foods and products. I also plan on walking around my town and enjoying the outside world for what it is.
reusable totes & water bottles!
I’ve bought all of your reusable totes & use them year round! Would love to add Viva La Vera to my collection to make every day Earth Day!!!
This shopping tote is adorable! WANT!
I recycle all the newspaper we get! I also started buying reusable shopping bags!! We use the hair dryer as little as possible. And hopefully we can head to lowes for a free tree! Happy Earth Day.
I will be taking the bus to and from work and when I get off work I will take my bicycle to run a few errands!
I LOVE this tote! I use reusable bags whenever I shop for ANYTHING. We will be taking our old electronics to our local “get rid of electronics” day, which is tomorrow. I’ve been replinishing the plants around our yard and picking up trash anywhere I see it. We’ve got to take care of our PLANET!!!!
My twelve year old son and I just got back from helping “clean the streets.” Soon we are off to our weekly Broadway Market trip to enjoy the wonderful bounty that this GREAT EARTH provides for us. Sure would love to take along a Viva La Vera reusable tote bag next time we head to the market! ๐
HAPPY EARTH DAY TO VERA AND ALL THE FANS! GO GREEN!
My family will be celebrating Earth Day by going to see the new Disney Wild Cats movie.
I was planting flowers with my 17 mo old with her new garden tools but looks like it is going to rain here all weekend. If I win this cute tote, it would make the disappointment some better. Love VERA BRADLEY!!
I love the bag! I am an 4th grade teacher. Today I am taking my students out to plant a tree on the school campus. We are also cleaning up litter on our school grounds. Everyday should be Earth Day! ๐
Recycle Recycle Recycle
I love these reusable bags, and already have a couple. My latest is Folkloric and it is beautiful. I would love to add another to my collection.
For Earth Day, I am bicycling to and from work.

As a family, we are recycling as much as possible. I also started using the recyclable grocery bags. ๐
Love that beautiful bag…would be an honor to own one!! Would love to be chosen to win it.
I try to make EVERYDAY Earth Day by always recycling & using natural products whenever I can.
To celebrate Earth Day today I will be going to get me coffee in my reusable mug from home. Then off to the grocery store with my recycle bags to get stuff for Easter desserts I need to make. Then the kids and I have made it a tradition to go to Home depot to pick out a plant for them to bring home and plant themselves and they take care of throughout the summer.
BTW…..Absolutely LOVE the bag!
Love these bags! Can’t wait to use them!
Not only on Earth Day, but every day, I try to live “green” and reduce the use of plastic sandwhich bags, plastic bags at the grocery store, paper products, etc. Living green is a challenge – not only on Earth Day, but every day! Recycle and reduce waste! ๐
Every year for Earth Day I have my students plant sunflower seeds.
Love this bag – it would make a great addition to my collection of reusable shopping bags.
I LOVE Vera & I LOVE cute reusable totes. I shop with them everytime & have stopped using plastic bags completely. For Earth Day, my hubby & I are going to pick up litter in our neighborhood. If you wait for others to do it, it’ll never get done! Happy Earth Day everyone…hug a tree ๐
I don’t live in the US. Here in Bolivia they are plastic crazy. I use re-useable bags at the market, etc. Love my Vera handbags.
Happy Earth Day! My four children and I will be starting a garden and planting a tree, but mostnof all my children are searching the house to see what things we do not need that can be recycled! I love my reusable shopping bags and always look for new ones, would love to have yours in my collection!
I have been using totes for years. My Family dose the reduce,reuse & recycle program in our home & community. Make the children more aware of the surrondings .We plant a tree or schrub every year for Earth Day ! My kids love helping outside . As a parent ,it helps me teach them to rescept the enviorment & other living things. So, your Totes would make a Wonderful addition to my very used totes .
Even though it’s a foggy, drizzly, gray day here in north Arkansas, we’re still going to get our little container gardens planted. We also need to plant another memorial tree in honor of lost loved ones. The pink dogwood we planted in memory of my dad is beautiful this year. Planting trees is a beautiful way to remember loved ones.
We use cloth diapers so celebrate Earth day everyday ๐ My husband and I are also planning on starting our landscaping today if the rain holds off!
I love using my Vera Bradley reusable shopping bags, and I get compliments on them all the time!
To celebrate Earth Day, I’m planting plants around my home’s yard and inside the house so that we have to buy less flowers, herbs, and fruits/veggies.
I will be taking all recyclable items to the recycling point today.
On Earth Day we eat at Planet Sub, go to the opening showing of the Disney movie – this year – African Cats, and recycle all that we can. We have increased our household recycling to include glass too. We also use reusable bags. ๐ I love the ideas above – focusing on turning out lights and cleaning out the house to share unused items with others!
What better way to promote Earth Day then with the reusable tote giveaway!
We love planet earth and to help keep her green my kids and i started our own garden. They love watching the progress and it teaches them valuable life skills. They love eating things grown on our land. Happy earth day!!
I would love this bag!
I am so loving re-usable shopping bags! They are a great way to cut down on what goes in our landfills…and the VB ones are soooo cute & stylish!
I have started re-fabricating discarded and donated rugs and place mats from thrift, consignment, and other type of donation centers into fabulous bags and totes!! In the month of of Earth Day, it is just one more thing I do to re-use what we already have!!!
We recycle and use reusable bags.
For Earth day my kids and I are going to take a walk and pick up all the garbage we see. It is very sad that so many people litter. Not just earth day but everyday I reuse and recycle as much as I can. Happy Earth Day Vera!! :0)
I collect the plastic grocery bags from friends who haven’t yet tried the re-usable bags – or paper. I cut them into strips and then crochet them into placemats, mats for cars, table runners and table protectors. I have also crocheted them into rugs and backed them with old rubber bath mats that would have been thrown away. It is raining where I live on this 2011 Earth Day so I am going to kick back on the porch and crochet away.
We celebrate the earth everyday, not just Earth Day, by conserving, recycling and reusing.
I use reusable shopping bags and I recycle anything that is recyclable.
I try to recycle everything I can everyday as well as Earth day. The Vera bag will match great with all my other Vera stuff. I also have gotten my teenage daughters hooked on Vera! Go Vera Bradley!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I always try to use my own bags and love my Vera Bradley!!!
Just LOVE the tote! Great idea for Earth Day.
I use my resuable bags for shopping for groceries and even to pack miscellaneous items for day or weeklong trips. I also found that they make great bags to use for presents that way the receiver gets to keep using them. I think this one might have to be for me though-it is perfect. Happy Earth day!
Shopping for Easter dinner with my reuseable shopping bags (not as pretty as that one you’re giving away!), coupons printed on the backs of scrap paper, and reuseable water bottle to stay hydrated! Happy Easter!
My family will be cleaning (trying out some new cleaning tips using non-toxic household items) and finding new homes for the discards! (recycling center, Goodwill, etc.). Any shopping trips will include re-usable bags and possibly a drive-thru @ Starbucks to get a free cup of tea in my own travel mug!
Recycle, recycle, recycle! We hardly have any trash! I need more reusable bags! Thanks for the contest and the chance to win a beautiful one!
To celebrate Earth Day, I used a reusuable coffee mug for my morning coffee instead of getting their throw away kind and for my groceries tonight I will be using my reusuable bags (which I do for every shopping trip). And in the spirit of Earth Day, I have decided to make using my reusuable coffee mug every day at work for my morning coffee instead of using their throw away kind. ๐ Go Green!!
My family actually cleaned out our closets yesterday and is donating them to our local salvation army. Their store is also hosting 50% off clothes (wow!!) so we are basically recycling by bringing new clothes in and coming out with a new wardrobe as well. Works out perfectly! ๐
I have also gotten all of my family to start recycling plastics, and old newspapers/magazines, we take them to a local recycling spot.
The biggest change we have made is NO MORE PLASTIC BOTTLES!! woohoo! I have been trying to get them to stop that for the longest time, its such a waste. So last week at the Vera outlet sale they all bought reuseable water bottles!! (I even got a few of them to switch to vera’s reuseable bags!)
My 9 yr old daughter and I have started the seedlings for our veggie garden. I have also started shopping vintage instead of always buying new items. If every person did one or two things to reuse, recycle or regrow, our earth would be cleaner and safer for our children!!
This tote would make a great addition to my other Vera Shopper Totes. They are great for cold items at the grocery store.
My daughter made a reusable bag at school for Earth day. We used it when shopping last night. I’d love to have 1 to reinforce her good behavior!
We start our patio garden … the seeds are going into the biodegradable pots…. for a little indoor pampering ahead of being able to get them outside into our larger pots. Always a wide assortment of vegetables and herbs… not bad considering we grow them on our deck.
Happy Earth Day! What a great giveaway to celebrate Mother Earth.
Reusable shopping bags when I grocery shop, washcloths instead of paper towels to clean up little one’s breakfast mess, getting my free coffee at SB when I use my travel mug, spending time outside planting, and going to the zoo and playing with my little one. ๐
Love this tote. I use reusable bags each time I go grocery shopping. Much better than plastic.
I celebrate Earth day with my friends and family! But sadly my dad has surgery today. So I’m going to hang out with my friends ๐ I love Earth dayy!
We’re planting a tree with our kids! They love being outside and it’s a very teachable moment.
I am spending the day with my family planting new trees and shrubs in our yard as well as with our neighbors. It will be a great way to enjoy the fresh air and spend time in our own backyards. Love the tote….
Lovely bags! We are going to carpool, use recycled bags, recycle our plastic and newspapers! Every bit counts!!
When I wake up, I use my reusable cup (coffee)!
When I throw away, I think about how it can be reused.
During lunch, it is packed in a reusable tote with water in my thermos.
When I shop, I consider what I purchase and how I carry it home.
When it warms up, I am ready to plant my garden ๐
Happy Earth Day to all of us who are so blessed to enjoy her beauty! I am celebrating the day by taking a number of my containers back to the companies where I purchased the products to help in preserving our beautiful Earth!
I absolutely LOVE the VB shopper totes!!! I have 4 of them and use them all of the time…especially for groceries! They hold a lot of stuff and are very durable! I am always getting compliments on them from people at the store which I love! It’s so nice to not have plastic bags everywhere! Great for the environment, fun and stylish for me! ๐
beautiful bag! looove it
I ALWAYS use my Very Berry Paisley totes when shopping, and am often stopped to find out where I got them. I think a VLV would coordinate nicely! Thanks to Vera!
I LOVE this print. For Earth Day, my daughters’ school planted new trees, new plants in the garden, and had a ladybug release. At home, we are tending our garden and using leaves as compost to share in the neighbor’s vegetable garden. We are also using reusable bags for Easter baskets with NO plastic grass!!
No more plastic shopping bags; expanded recycling with the new yellow topped containers; driving less – walking more; planting 2 new trees.
Love the bag. Would love to have one to go shopping with.
I would love to shop with a Vera Bradley shopping bag, I wish Vera had a matching coupon organizer to match!!!
I have many reusable bags. I would love to add this to my collection. It is so pretty and has so much style.
Every day is Earth day for us. Every where I go I carry reusable bags with me in my large Hobo. We reduce, reuse, recycle, compost, organic garden, never use anything but natural cleaners, toiletries and cosmetics, eat local organic foods when ever possible, support our local businesses, installed high efficiency appliances in our home, Ride share with 3 families to pick up and drop off the kids at school…just to name just a few. Celebrate today and every day as Earth day!
Aphrodite
We recycle and combine shopping trips to save on gas.
I’m celebrating earthday by carpooling and using a reusable cup for my drinking water and coffee =).
I just took our recycle out to the curb. Our family has been taking a more active role in recycling and things that are helpful to the environment and nature.
I use reuseable shopping bags and this one is so cute! I love it!
I teach my kids the value of Earth Day, everyday. We recycle and reuse materials as much as possible.
Im getting my wisdom teeth out today so im sorry to say that i will not be able to help the earth much today ): when i get better i hope to start a garden and actually remember to take the recycable bags into the grocery store instead of leaving them in the car
but i dont think i could ever forget again if i had a viva la vera reusable tote (:
Love Vera and love using my reusable bags, now there is a way to do both at the same time!
Fruit and veggie scraps, coffee grounds, etc. go into the compost pail by the kitchen sink.
Working on the flower gardens, planting the first pansies, using mulch from the compost pile.
Clearing out the raised beds to prepare for planting vegetables – no chemicals allowed in this yard.
Reusing my shopping bags for groceries.
Separating all paper and junk mail, cardboard, various plastics, glass and metal for the transfer station at the landfill.
Planning the day’s errands to conserve fuel.
These are the things we do every day, so I guess that we celebrate Earth Day everyday.
To celebrate Earth Day this afternoon we are starting to plant our new row of trees. One a day until National Arbor Day next Friday!
I will also be using all my resuable shopping bags when I go grocery shopping this evening!
What a great way to celebrate Earth Day with a beautiful bag from Vera Bradley!
I love the earth bag is is so cheerful. I was just at the Vera convention and didn’t see any of these even though they said they were there I over looked so hopefully I can be chosen to win one free otherwise I have to go buy one
I LOVE VERA BAGS! Can’t count how many I have! It’s great to be
“Green” all year long!
I use reusable shopping bags for almost everything (not just food shopping) and have a huge collection of them in the car at all times!
If the weather holds out (not looking good) I will be out cleaning up my yard, turning my compost pile, and getting my beds ready for planting.
“We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.” ~ Native American Proverb
love this bag
That is a beautiful bag. This Earth Day we planted flowers. Also, I taught my daughter’s Girl Scout Troop about how to use resources wisely. We need to take care of the Earth everyday, not just Earth Day!
It takes a bit to acquire the habit after you buy the bags. You’ve got to remember to put them back in the car & then, remember to take them into the store. But it’s a good habit to acquire!
Happy Earth Day i would love to use this bag for toting the kids art work to and from school !!! When i am room mom i would use this to bring all the goodies and projects in and it is showing a good example to our kids so they will in turn be earth friendly!! Thanks Karrie
Recycled all our plastics, newspaper/magazines and conserve energy but turning down the lights when not in use.
I’m an environmental geologist – so every day is Earth Day! But I love using resuable grocery bags and this one is so much cuter than the ones the store sells!
love it! so much prettier than the ones most stores sell!
Happy earth day and happy birthday to me, I always share my day with mother earth, its a great day!
Celebrating this year with my 3 Girl Scout troop and a day of fun activities.
I am using my travel mug instead of coffee cups. Also, brought my lunch in resuable containers. Turining in my empty plastic cosmetics bottles to Origin for them to recycle (also get a free cleanser that way!). Love the reusable bag!!!!!
I would love to have one of these for shopping trips. So handy and reusable!
We recycle just about everything but I have not taken the plunge to reusable bags. Having this Vera reusable bag would be a great way to get started!
Today I am using public transportation, no driving. Tomorrow we are spending time in the garden and preparing our new compost bin!
Happy Earth DAY! This is a nice bag and pattern. Go green!
I always use totes and I use them for gift bags instead of paper ones. I gave one today for a gift.
I will be celebrating Earth Day by using my own shopping bags when buying groceries for Easter Dinner on our farm. I will also be picking eggs from our 18 hens for our Easter guests to take home with them. I’ll be feeding our chickens potato peels and other kitchen scraps so they can “recycle”, too!
Earth day…We will eat outside. Take a hike…take some pictuires and plant some veggies.
What a beautiful day here by Arlington National Cemetary..I think we will go watch the Changing of the guard at the TOMB OF THE UNKNOWN also.
I love all things Vera, so why not add something new to the collection!
To celebrate Earth Day my friends and I are going to the local park to do a surprise clean-up!
I will be recycling my used personal computers at the Annual Earth Day Recycle fair at my job.
Love the tote! We are using reusable shopping bags, travel mug, and enjoying a ecofriendly picnic in the park!
I love Vera Bradley ๐ This is an adorable Earth Day giveaway. We just got four trees to plant for Earth Day. It will be a family event.
I will use my travel mug for coffee and no water bottles. I will also use my reusable shopping bags and hope to plant a tree.
We have spent the week doing planting and yard work for Earth day. I love the bags!!
I use reusable bags as gift bags for all my gifts – they’ve been a big hit with everyone! These new Vera totes are simply PERFECTION!
It just makes you more aware of the small things you can do that make a difference. I’m going to recycle my Sunday newspaper all year long.
Everyday is Earth Day at our house…. we recycle everything.. paper, metal,plastic,wood, and food waste goes into the composite pile; will be planting two huge gardens of vegetables(save rainwater for watering them) and what we don’t use, can or freeze we donate to the food pantry next door; I started using canvas tote bags in 2001 when I returned from Germany and saw what they were doing there. In addition to these practices we frequently donate usable items to our local Goodwill store thus keeping them our of the landfill. If we don’t save our Mother the Earth who will.
Going to use my reusable shopping bags!
I recycle at home and at work and I ALWAYS use my reusable shopping totes! This one would make a great addition!
I use reusable totes for all my grocery shopping. Just added my Viva la Vera handbag to my collection yesterday, would LOVE to have a matching shopping bag!
I’m going to stop by Starbucks with my travel mug and get free tea!
I work for a green building, so instead of celebrating earth day one day a year, we continue to celebrate the Earth by recycling paper, plastic bottles, cans, printer cartridges, even our toilets use less water, so almost everything we can. We also have recycled carpet, the building materials are mostly recycled, and we even have alot of windows in the place so we can use less electric power by having natural light. We take great pride in being “Green” here, and that helps take alot of pride in working for a place like that! My husband and i also have planted several trees in presentation of Earth day! So be green on Earth Day and the rest of the 364 days out of the year too!
Vera Bradley Girls are easy to spot! I would love to add this bright Viva La Vera reusable bag to my collection of reusable bags. I use reusable bags all the time… trips to Costco, grocery shopping, traveling, etc.. Being GREEN would be so much more fun with this bag!!! ;-}
I am home sick today so I will celebrate earth day at home on the couch!
To celebrate Earth Day, I have been helping to teach first and second graders about ways that they can help the Earth, telling them to spread the message. I have also been using reusable canvas shopping bags for grocery shopping and recycling any and all cans, plastic, newspaper, and magazines that come through my grasp. I am also going to Lowe’s on 4/23 to get a free tree to plant in my backyard! Saving the planet can start with the little things!
I use a reusable tote as a diaper bag- they are much lighter, and if something spills, i can just grab a new one. ๐
I am celebrating Earth day by using my reuseable bags and by picking up the trash and junk around our area.
I am taking my daughter to see “African Cats” today at the movie theater. We also use re-usable shopping bags whenever whe go out and have had fun collecting them from fun places and cool stores.
Happy Earth Day 2011 ~ we should practice recycling as many products as possible for the next generation, EVERYDAY, not just Earth Day! I always recycle plastics, paper, re-use tote bags at the market & retail shopping, for the gym, work, library, traveling & everywhere else!
Syco
I use reuseable bags for shopping – I would love to have a Vera Shopping Bag.
I just like the bag but probably won’t win it so oh well! Happy earth day! Except for the people that won the bag….
Our family always use Vera reusable bags, they’re AWESOME!!! A wonderful, beautiful bags which are also VERY fashionable!!! Our family participated in a clothing drive for our local clothes closet and bagged food for our local food bank. We all had such a blast!
Happy Earth Day!
I am using my own cup for a free cup of coffee at Starbuck’s today, and combining all my errands into one trip to save on fuel! I also use reusable bags for all my grocery shopping – would love to win this beautiful VB one!
Love using these bags as our indoor recycle containers. My 4 year old asks if it should go in the trash or the Vera recycle bag!
To celebrate earth day, I’m going to use reusable water bottle, reusable bags for shopping, and recycle everything.
Thanks for the great giveaway! Love those reusable bags!
I use these bags for individual knitting projects. The bags are strong enough to hold all my accessories AND everything is kept dry. I love these bags.
For Earth Day, my kids and I declare no more disposable plates or disposable cups. We will use ceramic plates and cups and wash them after every use.
Love the bag!!! We are celebrating Earth Day by planting some flowers in our yard much like the ones on the bag! The new prints are great.
We are recycling today, donating clothing and no longer buying bottled water. Love the tote!
Addicted to Vera Bradley, thanks for the chance to win!
I always use shopping bags at the grocery store now and recycle plastic, glass, metal and paper. I love these Vera shopping bags – I have 4 of them all ready!
I love all Vera bags. The reuseable are very nice to carry paper work, water bottles to kids games, groceries. Just about anything. Went
to the outlet sale in Fort Wayne for the first time. I had a blast. Keep up the great work Vera Bradley!
I will, as usual use my reusable shopping bags for all of my shopping today, not just grocery shopping, and I am wrapping my Easter “basket” goodies for everyone in reusable shopping totes instead of traditional baskets. I will also use my travel coffee mug all day today!
I am drinking water from a pitcher instead of a bottle…love your products….
We celebrate the Earth each day in our house. We have the most recycling on our block. My sons recycle chip bags and capri suns that we send to terracycle. We reuse items we find in other people’s “trash”. We donate gently used, outgrown clothing to families in need. We use dog food bags for weed blocker in the garden. We almost always bring our reusable bags shopping. Whether that is grocery shopping or at the mall. Even when people look at us funny I know I can say “I’m protecting our planet. How about you”?
I use reusable bags for shopping, conserve energy, water and other resources at home, recycle as much as possible (our large recycle bin is usually full and our garbage bin is fairly empty!) and try to combine errands into one trip to conserve gas. I love the Shopper Tote in Viva la Vera.
My daughter clebrated Earth Day a little early this week at school. Amongst other things, they made their own personalized reusable totes and learned about using CFL light bulbs. They actually brought home a light bult to teach us what they had learned. It was a fun learning experience for them. We already use the light bulbs at home, so she was quick to give it right to my husband – he’s the light bulb guy ๐ Happy Earth Day!
We love to recycle at our house. We hardly have any regular trash any more. We use our reuseable bags when we shop. We make recycliing fun and my year old loves to help us. We are getting her started early. Love love love the bag!
I will celebrate Earth Day by doing crafts with my kids out of things that would be normally thrown away. We will also be planting a few plants.
Happy Earth Day!!! Today we are holding a fundraiser for Climate Ride… We are also collecting e-waste while raising money for the ride. Personally our home will be using our reusable totes, coffee mugs, conserving water even more than usual and many more eco-sensible/sustainable ways. We are going to a tree planting at the local township building, taking the recyclables we have been collecting to local places to be recycled… we have offered to pick up the neighbors recyclables too that way auto use is cut down today!!! Everyday should be Earth Day, even in small ways!!! Reduce/Reuse/Recycle!!!
planting a tree and using my vera bag instead of plastic!
Happy Earth Day!
Recycle, reuse, and use the new Vera Bradley shopping bag.. what better way to celebrate Earth Day
My daughter and I are celebrating earth day but making a bird feeder out of an old milk gallon. We love to reuse stuff that we already have for fun crafts
We will be planting flowers this weekend. We also only use CFL light bulbs and try to use as much reusable items as possible in our house (tupperware, no paper plates or cups, etc).
To celebrate earth day I am gardening and spring cleaning ๐
I will be using reusable shopping bags, but the ones I have are nowhere as cute as the Viva La Vera!
Riding my bike to the grocery store, with my reusable bags.
Planting a free tree we got from Lowe’s.
Cooling off with homemade lemonade ice pops.
Having a “cold” dinner so we don’t use the oven or stovetop.
I will be using my coffee mug that is made from recycled material!
I will be using my reusable shopping bags this afternoon to go shopping. I am also working on cleaning out my closet and donating clothes to a local charity. I LOVE my Vera!
Viva la Vera is a perfect earth day pattern! Happy EARTH DAY!
To celebrate earth day I plan on using my reusable shopping bags and my Go Green water bottle!
We (my kids and I) are going to celebrate by planting some flowers in our flower beds! A nice thank you to earth I think.
Every day is Earth Day! We try to recycle everything we can (which is a lot since we drive our recyclables to the transfer station every 2-3 weeks), use reusable shopping totes, and buy second-hand to keep things out of landfills. Shopping at Farmer’s Market’s means better food, cheaper prices, and less packaging, and planning errands ahead of time to ensure the least amount of time in the car helps, too! We’re slowly making improvements everywhere we can!
We should support Earth Day everyday. I will use my reusable shopping bags all day, take my travel mug to Seven ELeven for my coffee, and recycle all my cartons, wrappings and newspapers.
Jackie
Have the day off of work today to spring clean and recycle my kids toys!
I use reuseable bags when shopping – would love to have a beautiful Vera shopping bag.
Viva Earth Day! Today I’m going to walk to the store even if it’s raining… I’m resolved to not drive my car today!
I love all my beloved “Veras” and love this new Viva pattern!
I have one of the reusable bags in folkloric and LOVE it! It’s so useful not only for groceries, but just to transport other stuff too. Happy Earth Day (and Good Friday)!!
My family has decided to celebrate Earth Day by unplugging the tv’s in our home and heading for the outdoors. We will also be attending and celebrating with some of our local events.
I am getting into recycling more and more everyday. I encourage everyone out there to do theer part, it’s really easy! A little goes a long way! Keep it up America!
We recycle constantly at our house & have a compost pile. I use reusable bags for all my shopping… so EVERY DAY is Earth Day for us!!
Love this tote. Love reusable bags like this… I use them for EVERYTHING. Packing the kids up for sleepovers at the grandparents, picnics, the gym, and of course the grocery store among many other things. These are so much more stylish than the regular grocery store ones which make it that much better!!
We are celebrating earth day by eating completely organic, planting our garden for yummy summer veggies and enjoying the fresh air!
I really hope I win! That shopper tote is too cute!
my friend and I carpool to work as much as possible, Love my VERA BRADLEY.

We are excited to plant a baby tree and some other plants, and using our travel mugs for some coffee out today. Best of all, we’re celebrating ways to renew the earth on the day we are celebrating Jesus’ death, because that made it possible for us all to be renewed!
Great looking earth bag. I always use reusable bags to shop-even wash them from time to time to keep them germ free.
Love your bags. Would love reusable tote.
Happy Earth Day! I always try to remember to recycle paper & plastics. I love to re-use shopping bags for traveling, work, shopping & the gym!
I bought the reusable shopping bags from Vera a few years ago and gave them away as gifts for the kids’ teachers. Love this new style and pattern. What fun! Happy Earth Day!
I always keep the VB nylon shopping bags in my purse, so that when I stop in a store for a few quick items I always have a reuseable bag handy! I’d love to win this great earth day bag!
Blessings, Patti
Yah! Go Vera! Earth Day is a great cause!
I celebrate Earth Day everyday, or at least I try to do my best. I use reusable grocery bags all the time, recycle, efficient with electric and water, etc. Go Earth! Happy Earth Day!
We made our own little tote out of fused plastic bags for my Kindergartener to take to school. She loved it and so did the teachers!
I try to celebrate Earth Day everyday by washing my laundry in cold water and drying it on a clothesline, buying organic/local produce, not running the water when I brush my teeth, turning off lights in rooms that are not being used at the moment and carpooling to work with my husband.
This tote is great looking. For Earth Day I’m planning an outdoor meal with my family to enjoy our city’s recently opened “Greenline” (former railbed turned into a walking and biking trail) and the parks it connects with. We’ll use recyclable plastics and reusuable plates, cups, travel containers and my new favorite, colorful cloth napkin!
We are gathering all our recycles and going to the recycle center.
I no longer use any ziploc bags. I pack my kids snacks in reusable sealable bags. They are washable and are in pretty fabrics, so the kids love them. We also never use grocery bags – I have foldable bags that I keep in my pocketbook so that they’re always handy.
We just had our recycling rules change, so we will learn about them today! And we are cleaning the garage and bringing stuff to our dump for the bigger recycling items. Happy Earth Day!
We recycle, we freecycle, and we plan our meals weekly so that we always use our leftovers (whether in their original form or in a new way).
Enjoy teaching my five and three year old how to recycle!!
I have to work but I am planning on planting trees this afternoon in my yard
Planning to use my recycle shopping bags more often. (I could use some more!) We recycle by having a recycle can next to the trash cans.
Earth day, I would be taking a walk around the neighborhood with my three nephews and teaching them the meaning of Earth Day, it should be celebrated everyday!
Today, our family wore our B kind 2 earth t-shirts and are giving all of our household appliances a day off. Weather pending, we plan to plant more sustainable trees and bushes this weekend.
What a cool tote!
I recycle paper coffee cups as seed posts for new plants. For every cup I use I start a plant for my porch. I used to use a reuseable coffee cup but I kept leaving it everywehere and had to keep buying a new one and that bothered me because of all the plastic. so i went back to a paper cup and instead of throwing them out I start plants.
I use the shopping bags all the time , I have a travel mug for coffee I reuse the same drinking glass for water either at home or on the go, I am working with our Green team at work to go out and plant trees this weekend. I love all of Vera’s bags.
What a beautiful bag to take to the grocery store! I’ll use it every time I go shopping.
To celebrate Earth Day, I am doing my grocery shopping with reusable bags–which I love to have. I am also doing household cleaning with all our Earth-friendly cleaning products. Another thing is changing out our closet to spring/summer clothes, which always results in donating clothing to local shelters. Reduce, reuse, and recycling!
Happy Earth day, Happy Spring!! Love to add the Vera Bradley bag to my collection of reusable bags, so much prettier than local grocery store ones!!
Making my weekly delivery to the paper recycling bins at our high school. Combining this errand with others to save gas!
I always try to use reusable bags when I go shopping. I need a bigger collection of bags though, since I had to empty out a bag in the back of my car when I was at the store yesterday in order to take in with me! All mine were already in use. I would love a Vera one to add to my collection!!!!
Cute bags! We are celebrating today by planting a new tree in honor of the birth of our daughter & making Earth Day Crafts with my boys.
My beautiful daughter is a beautician. I got her the bag last Mothers day (well she made me a Mother) and she carries it back and forth to the shop with the zillion things one needs at work and after. Extra shoes, sweater….you get the idea. Think she may be due for a new one.
My family and I started celebrating Earth Day yesterday. We spent the day cleaning our yard of leaves and twigs. Then we ploanted vegetable seeds and flower seeds.
I like to use reusable bags at the grocery and other stores. My bags are black or green – boring!!! Would love to have this colorful reusable bag! Heading out to do Easter shopping with my boring bags:(

So cute! Love the bag! I will be donating some clothing today and using reusable shopping bags!
I recycle cans and scrap paper at home and we use save the earth bags at our grocery store and I recycle all of my extra paper at school also
Earth day + Vera Bradley no better way to be green. Reducing plastic bags by using any reusable bag is a great way. But there is no more stylish way than with a Vera recycle bag!
Today is the day to start using the compost pile for planting the first pansies of the season. Compost goes in the raised beds for vegetables as well. Paper, cardboard, plastics, glass, and cans go into the recycle bins for the transfer station at the landfill. Reusable bags are always in the car for groceries. I plan my daily errands to conserve fuel.
Every day is Earth Day at this house.
I am celebrating earth day by unplugging everything in my house and letting the windows open instead of using air conditioners or the air unit. Not using any gas either what a great way to celebrate earth day!!
Planting a garden this year to enjoy fresh vegetables anytime!
I am signing up for a community tag sale to sell some of our unwanted items instead of tossing them in the trash and sending them to the land fill!

I made sure to bring my reusable coffee mug to my local coffee shop this morning for my daily caffeine boost. We are always visiting our local Kroger where they are packing up all groceries in paper bags decorated by a local elementary school in honor of Earth Day. Doing my part to be GREEN!!
I am celebrating earth day by teaching my daughters about excessive waste and ways to cut down on that. I also make it a point on this day to make sure they are turning electricity and water off to conserve as much as possible.
I LOVE reusable shopping bags!!!
By teaching my first graders about ways we can reduce, reuse, recycle and become more “green!!!!”
I’m going to actually remember to take my reusable shopping bags to the grocery this afternoon!
I am a science teacher in Key West, FL and we love to help the earth! My fourth grade students and I planted a tree for our school. My other 200 students each planted their own seeds in reusable containers! My classes also collected trash and recyclables around our school! I love Vera Bradley!!!
I love my earth friendly totes. I have a service dog and I use them to carry his daily supplies – leashes, water, travel bowls, etc
I would LOVE to have this shopper bag, it would make it so much easier to carry all the things I have to drag into work with me! Happy Earth Day!

To celebrate Earth Day, I am doing what I do every day: recycling, using reusable bags and coffee cups, and enjoying nature. ๐
Every day is Earth Day in our home! A Vera Bradley Tote – don’t leave home without at least one!
We purchased trees and plant for our garden to plant on earth day. We also are going to conserve more energy by not using the lights so much today. We are going to tend to our vegetable garden we planted for the year.
Earth day should be everyday! We love Vera patterns and bags my 18 yr. old daughter and I are addicted together-what could be better than that?? We would love to carry one at our town’s Earth Day clean up which is Sat.! (We’ll use our Sittin’ in the Tree bags this year!) ๐
I use my Vera Bradley items to save animals that would give up their lives to make purses, totes and luggage, to avoid the loss of more trees to make paper, and avoid adding non-biodegradable plastic items to our landfills. Being an Earth Science teacher, I use every compliment on my Vera to educate someone else about at least one thing they can do to be Earth-friendly. In class, I teach my students to become stewards of the Earth in many ways, and encourage them to become the teachers at home and in their communities. For me, every day is Earth Day!
We will be planting our garden. We will recycle our plastic bags, aluminum cans, and other items which are recyclable. Starting now we will refuse all plastic bags and instead take along our own shopping totes and/or reusable canvas bags. This Vera Bradley tote would be a BEAUTIFUL addition to my collection of shopping totes!
I plan on celebrating this earthday/good Friday with mh family. We are going to the local plant nursery to pick out a tree together and plant. I want them to understand the importance of renewing our planet so it can be beautiful in the future! We always use our earth friendly reusable bags for all of out outings and shopping trips. But none of the are as stylish as the Vera!
I never get plastic or paper bags at stores, all reusable bags for me. Today all my old cleaning products are going to the recycle for hazardous waste and all green cleaners from now on in our house.
This Earth Day, I will walk (when possible) instead of drive, make dinner from unprocessed food, and enjoy the look and smell of our emerging GREEN!!
Enjoying our little piece of Heaven here today. Thank you God for our Earth! Let’s all do more to help protect it like He would want us to!!!
This has got to be one of the most adorable reusable shopping bags ever. I have a collection of reusable bags that I keep under my passenger seat at all times so I am never without one while running errands.
For the past couple of years I have wrapped Christmas gifts and birthday presents to my family and friends in reusable shopping bags. Everyone loves getting gifts from me.
Reusing colorful glossy magazine pages and Sunday comic pages as “tissue paper” is a fun and economical way to add to this eco-friendly gift presentation.
We’re planning our garden and shopping with reusable totes today.
ALL EMAILS FOR TODAY! NO PRINTING ANY PAPER!!! USEING MY IPAD AL DAY IN CLASS, NO NOTEBOOKS FOR ME TODAY! CLEANING MY YARD AND GET A HEAD START IN GARDENING! BUT IT’S LIKE MOST DAYS FOR ME:)
Save the earth…use a reuseable tote bag whenever you go shopping.
To celebrate Earth Day, I am shopping for my daughter’s birthday presents and party favors online. This may not sound like much but I live in a very rural area where the nearest shopping center / mall is more than an hour away. By shopping online, I am reducing my own car emissions. Additionally, the UPS and FedEx deliveries in this area are only done when a certain number of packages are awaiting delivery (there is no such thing as express delivery around here). While the delivery companies restrict their deliveries for economical reasons, it also benefits the earth by keeping their truck emissions to a minimum in my area.
Today in our homeschool we’re learning how to be good stewards of God’s great EARTH!!
Would love to have this tote to bring my groceries home in. I would have the prettiest bag in town.
Wow what a gorgeous bag!!! With something that pretty I’m sure I would remember to take it into the store and actually use it!!! We are very good about recycling but I still forget to get my store bags out of the trunk. Getting better though. Happy Earth Day everyone!
As a family, we recycle everyday (newspapers, plastic, glass). Today in honor of Earth Day, I am taking my three daughters (ages 7, 9, and 11) to purchase and plant a tree. I will also be using my own coffee mug instead of the one from the coffee shop!!! Go Green!!!
I love using the reusable bags, they are a lot more fun to use than the plastic bags and a lot more fashionable!! ๐ This bag is absolutely adorable and my girls love it too.
CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN ….. we are cleaning out closets, drawers, etc and recycling them. I also plan to plant a variety of flowers in our garden. I recycle bags as often as possible and take “green” bags to the store with me.
I am going to recycle some plastic bags today, and tomorrow we’ll be participating in electronics recycling.
I try to use reusable bags whenever I can. Today I’m also using a reusable mug for my tea, as opposed to a paper cup. I also recycle just about everything!
We drink a lot of pop(soda) in our house so we recycle all of our pop cans. We are taking a truckload over to the recycling plant later today! We help the planet and make a little money on the side. It is a win win situation!
to celebrate earth day im going hiking and enjoying the beautiful arizona desert!
I have been using reusable bags for years, but more recently have come up with a few ways: not using the clear plastic bags for produce at the store (just throw ’em in the cart), using a CSA for most fresh produce (supports a local farm and keeps our food being produced close to us), using more plastic cups for water and soda (hard plastic, especially the VB ones!), we drive a hybrid, we only have 1 car, walk more places like the library and to get coffee, etc.
I try to use my reusable bags for all shopping trips.
I am useing my reuseable shopping bags, getting my coffee in my favorite travel mug and any coffee grounds i use go stright into my garden!
Save the earth….I love Vera Bradley
I always use my reusable bags at the grocery store and have on occassion bought one for the next customer in line as a surprise gift ๐
Would love to add this tote to my collection!
Beautiful & reuseable – great! We’re doing a lot of “green” things around our home: unplugging phone/computer chargers when not in use, turning off lights when we leave a room, recycling newspapers, cans & bottles, reusing plastic and paper grocery bags (and trying to always use reusable bags). We’re also trying to eat more local produce and less processed foods.
I always use my refillable mug & water bottle, avoid styrofoam at all costs and take my reusable shopping bags to the grocery store!
Today, Earth Day, I am using my reusable coffee mug…. shopping with my reusable bags (I always use) and planting a tree in my yard. We do this every Earth Day. This lovely bag would look great with my collection of reusable bags. Enjoy the Outdoors today and every day.
I love the tote bag, great for an afternoon shopping trip or a Saturday morning flea markets finds. Love my Vera.
This earth day i’m cuting down on shower time and i’m not running the water while brushing my teeth. This is a bad habit but i always leave lights on. From now on i’m going to power off.
Come with me to Trader Joe’s Pretty Little Bag!
We try to be green….. so far no pretty totes to help us along tho! Love the flower….
love that people finally think it’s cool to use reusable bags – I’ve probably still got some of those cotton mesh bags somewhere ๐
Earth Day is everyday with Vera Bradley…I use all of my Vera bags to do just about everything! Shop with them, bring my lunch to work with them, travel with them and pass this all on with giving them as gifts too!
What an awesome bag to help keep the earth cleaner!!
today I am walking on the beach enjoying the beauty and picking up trash as I go. glad to seen here in Duck that the stores are no longer allowed to use plastic bags!
Today, I will be planting flowers and an apple tree with my 2 year old son. We also recycle all year and use reusable bags every time we shop!
I am thanking God for blessing us with such a beautiful Earth! May we demonstrate our appreciation and thanks by caring for this precious gift. Remember to stop and smell the flowers, feel the breeze, and relish in the rays of the sun. Peace on Earth!
Love the Earth Day bag – a wonderful way to brighten up the grocery shopping:-)
As a nurse I help save lives, and as an American I help to save the environment….using reusable shopping bags is a great earth friendly way to show I care. And what an adorable bag to do it with!!! ๐
This would make an awesome edition to my reusable bag collection :-).
This year for earth day, if the rain stops, we are planning to plant some flowers out in the yard.
I always use reusable bags when I shop, but having a Vera Bradley reusable bag will let me shop in style! I love Vera Bradley styles and can’t get enough! Happy Earth Day ๐
At our house, it’s Earth Day everyday. I bring coffee to work in a reusable mug, I drink water from a filtering pitcher, I use cloth bags for grocery but if I forget them and get plastic bags, I use them for cleaning out the litter boxes.
Windows open–time for fresh air–, organic breakfast and dinner, and biking all day rather than driving…Happy Earth Day!!
I use reusable shopping bags everywhere. LOVE them. Even use them to pack groceries in to go the beach. Would love to add a Vera one to my collection.
The complete mash-up of my 2 obsessions: Vera and Reusable Grocery Bags!!
Happy Earth Day all – celebrating by using reusable bags whenever I go grocery shopping!
LOVE it NEED it want to WIN it!!!!!
I’m a first grade teacher and we celebrate Earth Day all year long. We have a recycling bin in our room. We reuse paper, pencils, crayons, paper towel tubes, egg cartons, shoe boxes, and more! We try to be kind to nature and grow new plants. We pick up litter when we see it. We care about our environment! The tote is lovely and I can think of many ways to use it! Thanks for the great giveaway!!
Today, I will make sure to use reusable totes for all my shopping, not just the grocery! I am a teacher, so my class is talking about ways to reduce our paper usage and school recycling, as well as planting a new tree!
Pet Peeve:s plastic grocery bags blowing in the wind on tree branches..
Personal Fave: Stylishly carrying my groceries in a fashionable re-useable bag!
We use reusable bags to go to the store, what a beautiful bag you have ๐ . It’s Earth Day every day in our household. We recycle, reuse and reduce waste by having a compost bin. The compost is used in the garden.
I’ll be taking a load of good, reusable items to our local thrift shop rather than throwing them away, and also dumping my backlog of newspapers at the recycling center.
to celebrate Earth Day, we usually plant perennials in our yard, but the weather isn’t great for planting today. We use reusable shoppers for our grocery shopping and will be planting a tree as soon as the weather lets up. this reusable shopper is perfect to keep in the car at all times so you always have a bag ready to shop!
Happy Earth Day! Today, I will be donating tons of shoes to a local charity “Shoes for a Cure.” They take the shoes donated as well as ones found in local landfills, and make rubber chips for children’s playgrounds and other useable things. I will also be donating huge bags full of plastic grocery bags to a local Publix for recycling. At my work, we are all planting flowers and plants in honor of Earth Day! ๐
When I go shopping this weekend for food I will use reusable bags! I am changing all my clothes to cotton, and plant flowers, and buy a reusable bottle to use everyday!
I’ve used tote bags for my shopping for years. I would love to win this tote.
I try to plan my trips so that I can make one trip rather then 3 or 4. It save gas, it saves time, and it saves the earth.
In our house we recycle, cans, bottles, paper, plastic as well as clothes and toys and anything else we can donate or pass to other to use rather than throwing things away. Happy Earth Day! ๐
Everyday, we make an effort to reuse and recycle. Today, we are going to the lake to enjoy the beautiful weather. While we are there, we will be picking up trash and other debris.
love that Vera is thinking green on Earth day! I am planning on spending some time today cleaning out taking some clothing to be donated and doing some shredding of papers that need to go. Happy Earth Day!
We always use reuseable shopping bags and many are bland and boring. It would be nice to have one from Vera. Thanks!
My 9 yr old and I always use our reusable shopping bags to grocery shop – today and every day – to help keep our earth green!
We are celebrating Earth Day by going shopping at the thrift store! Kids need clothes.
GOD told us to take care of this earth which is our temporary home. Let’s do our part until we see Jesus!
The reuseable shopping bags are bright, colorful and sassy! They reduse clutter of brown bags and plastic bags around the house. I love the Vera Bradley shopping tote! Stylish!
I bought one of these tote bags to use as a gift bag for a baby shower-but loved it so much I kept it for myself ๐
To celebrate Earth Day, I am building a compost bin in my backyard!
I am using my reusable shopping totes while doing my shopping and using my travel mug at Starbucks for my free cup of coffee.
love these totes!
Love the reusable tote! I’ve even convinced my husband to start using reusable bags– but I wouldn’t let him get his hands on this one!
I will be planting some herbs tonight. Yum.
I will be dropping off newspaper, cardboard and detergent jugs at the recycling center, picking up a free cleanser at Origins, and using my reusable bags when grocery shopping.
I am very happy to inform that recycling is finally available in my area. We just signed up yesterday. We already recycle aluminum cans and most newspapers. I am happy to be able to teach my children that everything we do has a consequence in our future and how recycling is so important.
My family celebrates Earth day by turning off electronics for an hour, and we plant a tree or plant in our backyard. this year, our new puppy is helping us, and she helps us appreciate the earth every day. And we have an annual tradition of taking a long walk in the woods behind our house. It’s very peaceful…
I am goin to take my kids phone away and turn all tvsoff. I am also going to city parks to help pick up trash, then after that my kids and I will go play outside with the other neighborhood kids.
I will be using my travel mug today and my reusable bags for easter shopping ๐
That shopping tote would make the dreaded job of grocery shopping quite bearable! :o)
I have replaced PET water bottles with reuseable bottles. We have about 2 dozen, in different sizes, and fill them with water from our filter pitcher. Besides being kind to the earth, I figure I save at least $1000 a year in NOT buying bottled water!
I celebrate earth day everyday by using reusable shopping bags, high efficiency appliances & light bulbs.
My goal for today, and every day, is to minimize the excess waste in all the things I buy. Make efforts to buy bulk, bring my own coffee cups, and use reuseable bags as much as possible. It would be great to look stylin’ while being environmentally responsible!
I use reusable bags on a regular basis when shopping. We recycle our cans and have bins to recycle our paper as well. I try to schedule my shopping trips all in one day and plan accordingly. I would love to win the shopping bag and add it to my reusable bag collection.
I love the reusable totes especially from Vera! They can be used for lots of things other than shopping. I love to carry my knitting in one while on the go. This would be lovely and I’d be very proud to carry this beautiful tote. We recycle everything we can!
Woohoo, great giveaway, Ty!
I take my reusable shopping bags everywhere, grocery, mall, drug store. This will be my 3rd year for having a garden, love those fresh veggies.
Everyday is earth day to a farmer!
Shopping for Vera from home today !
I will not be driving my car today!
Celebrating Earth Day by going to the beach… armed with cleanup gear! Would be great to have a new Vera Bradley tote to carry some snacks! ๐
I have spent the entire week “recycling” rocks from our front yard landscaping!!! All by hand!!! So I need a new tote to give my hands a rest!
I always try to remember to use reusable shopping bags at the store
We’re going to Lowes to get our free tree and plant it in our backyard!
Reuse, Recycle, Rejoice!
this is such a pretty tote. i hope i win one!!!!!
Love it! For Earth Day, we are celebrating the entire month without air conditioning. (we live in Florida).
Thanks Vera for helping make being “green” fashionable! I’ll be planting trees in celebration of Earth Day!
We are using reusable shopping bags, planting a tree and planting butterfly friendly plants and flowers.
I will use my tote, to do my shopping!
My girls and I are planting seeds that my older daughter received at school for earth day, and we are talking about what we will put in our garden this summer.
I put the wrong email address in the above post ๐ corrected in this one. thanks for the giveaway! Love VB!!
My girls, Katie & Molly, and I will be celebrating Earth Day by planting our own Vegetable Garden using recycled containers!
I love the new Viva la Vera, what a fun way to enjoy spring, and save the planet
Lot’s of spring cleaning! Will be giving a lot of stuff to the Goodwill.
I love Vera Bradley products and wouldn’t like anything more than to add this reusable bag to my collection! I always use reusable bags when I shop and having another would make it so much easier to carry my stuff around college campus.
Yay for Vera and Earth Day!!
As a teacher, I try to practice what I preach! I use Vera shopper totes and store totes for groceries and such as well as, recycling as much as I can. Also donating items not used anymore instead of throwing them away is always a seasonal event in my house. (Except my vast Vera collection that is!)
I am headed to the grocery store with my reusable bags and my kids have earth day projects that I will be helping with later today.
I will be using my reusable canvas grocery bags to go grocery shopping today as I do every week. I also purchased a plastic coffee cup to use when I stop for my daily coffee at Starbucks. I love the Vera Bradley tote and would love to add it to my “green” totes. Thank you for the opportunity to own one. Happy Earth Day; keep green.
I always carry several reusable bags in my car. They are so nice to have on hand. I would love to add a Vera one to my collection.
To celebrate Earth Day, I am planning out my square foot garden (all veggies) and planting an oak tree in my yard!
We buy each new shopping tote when they come out. We love to take them to the store, they are great for those short trips with the kids. My daughter uses one for her painting supplies for college. And they are easier to store than the millions of plastic bags you end up with from the market. Plus….they are pretty to look at!
We have Earth Day every day…we cloth diaper our baby!
I will spend the afternoon playing in the park. I put out my recycling today and am going to Starbucks for my free coffee in my travel mug.
Loving the “going green” efforts…we are planting pretty greens around our house! And LOVE the Tote!
We recycle, and use reuseable bags for shopping! I love not having to bring home those silly plastic bags.
Happy Earth Day! Love the reusable Vera bag:)
I always use reusable totes, especially the nylon Vera ones I bought at Christmas time 2009 for myself, my friends, and family. I would love to have this one, too!
Love the shopper tote! It’s so cute, and it saves the planet! What more could you ask for! ๐
My son and I are going around the neighborhood today to pick up trash. I use reusable bags while shopping so I would love to have a Vera reusable bag.
I Love the Earth Day bag<3
I love using recycling bags, instead of plastic or paper and what would be better than this Vera Bradley Bag!! It is so cute too!
I am celebrating with my family by getting our garden ready for planting and taking a hike. We will bring garbage bags to collect any we find on our hike. I love the Earth!
To celebrate Earth Day – every day – we use reusable sandwich and snack bags in kids lunches instead of plastic baggies. We recycle all possible items that we use in our household. We just planted our own organic garden in our back yard this year so we can have our own locally grown produce all summer long and for the future. Earth Day is NOT just one day – it needs to be an every day, every week, every month effort to truly make a difference.
What a great idea for Earth Day. Thanks for making me smile.
I have been using reusuable bags for a long time and they are awesome! Helps keeping plastic out of landfill and big step going green!
We just got home from the recycling center, turning in our glass, plastic, paper and aluminum. I love all things Vera Bradley, but do not have any of her shopping bags but can’t wait to win one since I do use the reuseable bags!
Bought 2 at the VB Outlet sale- but I love this pattern more. They are well made!
I will plant a tree!!!
Our family recycles as much as we can. We recently cleaned out our chicken coop & all the fertilizer goes into our 2 veggies gardens. I use lots of reusable totes for groceries, we had a yard sale & everything that wasn’t sold was donated to the Salvation Army. I reuse plastic pots that my plants come in, when I divide plants to share with family. We have a compost pile that assorted clippings go into, we also throw our coffee grounds & egg shells into the veggie garden.
For Earth Day (as with most days), I’m taking my reusable insulated coffee cup to Caribou (free coffee today!), along with my reusable, hand-knit shopping bags for a quick trip to the mall. I’m also planning my garden, composting my kitchen scraps, and biking to work.
These are great bags for shopping, I use them all the time. They hold so much more then those flimsy plactic bags….Love them!!
We respect the earth every day, not just on Earth Day. Reduce, Reuse & Recycle are part of our daily lives. Many weeks our recycling is as much or more than our garbage. The addition of the pretty reusable totes just makes it more fun! My mother was an advocate for the original Earth Day, so I have grown up with it. It’s great to see it become more embraced by the public.
Recycle, recycle, recycle. Now that tax season is over, shredding any documents that are no longer needed. All paper is recycled every Friday!
Spring cleaning of closets and donating clothes and shoes that we no longer need or wear. (Old t-shirts make create cleaning rags!! – better than using paper towels and making more waste).
And of course planting new spring flowers and mulching grass.
I love saving the earth. Using plastic bags is just killing the earth. I want to save the earth by using reusable shopping bags.
Happy Earth Day! Today I used my travel mug for my tea and my and my kids are walking to do our errands! Thanks for the opportunity to win this gorgeous bag and add yet another Vera Bradley bag to my collection.
I am teaching today with the lights off to save energy, using natural light from the windows to light our classroom! The kids love it!
Today is green day!! Yeah! Go buy a tree, plant something that will be good for our environment!! Me I love to garden, and do great things!! I absolutely love my Vera, and finding it in Missouri is a challenge!! Happy days to all!!
I use both sides of any paper before recycling. Small ones for notes, office paper goes back through the computer printer/copier.
My son and I are going to plant a tree!
Earth day is a day for everyone to do something good for the planet. I am an Earth Science teacher and I love explaining and demonstrating ways my students can save the Earth and show them every little thing they do will help our planet. My students also love my Vera Bradley bags I sport all the time so what better way to show the students, while using a Vera Bradley shoppers tote, that their teacher is saving the planet in style and they can too. Teaching our younger generation to do little things can make a big impact in the future and that is what our Earth needs, more cleaning up litter, using less plastic bags and recycling. But most importantly, having a Vera Bradley shopper tote at your side can persuade more people to do something good for our planet and not just on Earth Day!!!!
I will use my cloth bags for shopping.
Just donated tons to Amvets! We are having a garage sale next month..the plastic bags that I have brought home, when I have not taken my fabric ones in with me, will be used at the garage sale for our customers to take their new purchases home with them!
I am taking my own mug to Starbucks for a free Earth Day coffee (and I asked my co-workers to do the same)… I am taking public transportation to work… I am taking my own bags (even though they aren’t as pretty as Vera’s!) with me for shopping… I have my own silverware to use for lunch (no plastic-ware for me!), and my own aluminum water bottle… and I am making sure to turn out the lights whenever I leave a room.
Love shopping with reusable bags that I have gotten from different stores, BUT will PROUDLY carry my reusable VERA bag if I win one!
Not just on Earth Day….. but Every Shopping Day!
I just bought 2 of your pink reusable tote which is really pretty and a good size to use for any errands! Glad you make totes attactive and reusable!
Love the bag.
Adorable print!
This morning we made our own coffee and brought it in our own reuseable cups.
All week I dedicated our learning centers in second grade to Earth Day!
At home and the office we recycle as much as possible, it just makes you feel good. We no longer use foam cups for water and coffee, everyone has their own favorite mug and plastic cup. Go green! My Vera bags and lunch bag are used daily and also just make you feel good ๐
I am trying to “live green” today and everyday by reusing brown paper shopping bags along with the 6 reusable bags I keep handy in my car. I keep the 2 nylon Vera ones that come in a handy dandy little green pouch in my purse, so I always have them available. I recycle everything and even started having my first graders recycling Capri Sun juice pouches to be made into totes and things for an organization called Terra Cycle. I recyle cards by tearing off the signature page, and then resending them as postcards. I’ve dialed down, carpooled to work with my husband, and even broken my age old habit of letting the water run while brushing my teeth! Hopefully I’m setting a good example for my own children as well as my students. Happy Earth Day! ๐
Sooo exciting and super cute!!
We planted 2 trees and started a veggie garden this week. My 4 year old is beyond excited to see our garden grow, and so am I. ๐
I am going to use my travel mug all day. I always use reusable bag when shopping. Going to turn off TV and read a ebook.
Our family recycles. I have also bought some flower bulbs and seeds to plant in our yard this weekend. We also have a chipper machine and make our own mulch. ๐
I celebrate Earth Day every day when I happily use my reusable shopping bags! We have also made a conscious effort to recycle every day as well.
For Earth Day I am giving a speech on how important it is to use reusable bags and travel mugs as much as possible to help to Earth in my public speaking class!
HAPPY EARTH DAY! MY FIRST GRADE CLASS AND I TRY TO MAKE EVERYDAY EARTH DAY. WE ALWAYS TRY TO REDUCE~ REUSE~ RECYCLE. THIS GREAT BAG WILL HELP US CARRY PAPERS TO OUR RECYCLE BINS. I LOVE VERA!
I tried to take care of the Earth every day. I love these recycled bags! My students in school use these bags to store their just right books for reading in my first grade classroom every day. They brighten up the room!
Since im always being green and using organic and reusable things, in honor of earth day, I won’t drive anywhere. Ill stay close to home and ride my bike or walk everywhere! Happy earth day everyone! ๐
I sometimes forget to take my reusable bags into the store with me, then i feel so guilty when I get to the checkout. I bet I wont forget this one, its so pretty I will want to show it off!
We planted both cherry and nectarine trees in the back yard! The fruits of our labor (pun intended)= not only a better yard, but also a better and brighter Earth. We all need to do our part, no matter how small!
I always use re-usable shopping bags, I carry them in the trunk of my car. We are going to save gas today by walking wherever we go!
We are working in the garden today! Planted two evergreen saplings and turning over the garden to get ready for spring planting!
We will be celebrating Earth Day by continuing to use our reusable bags every time we go to the grocery store and the mall. Those bags are not nearly as pretty as this one. Our family recycles quite a bit so we will be putting our glass and cans out for our city recycling to come get and then heading over to our school to put newspapers in their recycling dumpster. Our school receives money every time we fill a dumpster.
I LOVE buying and using reusable bags! One is cuter than the next~ this one is no exception! The lights will be off (more than usual) today in our house to honor and celebrate our earth……
I always try to use reusable shopping bags. I don’t even like the plastic bags from stores anymore. I even have my husband using them for grocery shopping.
Reusable totes aren’t just for grocery shopping. Take one to the mall and you never have all those individual bags to juggle.
To Celebrate Earth Day we have cleaned out closets and donated the clothes, started using all reusable grocery bags for shopping and use travel coffee mugs as well as reusable water bottles! No more waste for us! ๐
Love all my Vera Bradley. Keep it up.
As an Interior Designer I have made it my passion to design and live as sustainably as I can. On Earth Day I celebrate by paying special attention to leaving lights off during the day, run water less and use reusable shopping bags during shopping trips. I am walking in the 3-Day for a Cure in August and we sell reusable pink totes to raise money! This vera Bag would be a wounderful addition to my collection of reusable totes. We do need to pay close attention to what we do and how it will effect the earth expecially on Earth Day but also each and everyday too! Simple solutions like reusable totes are genius.
on earth day i get a group of friends and family and clean up the highway for about 5 miles into town, we recycle the plastic and cans…. and we also get a good fun workout!!
I’m going to celebrate Earth Day with a trip to Starbuck’s and my own travel mug to fill.
Every day is Earth day. We recycle constantly, we carry cans and bottles home to be recycled when we are out of the house. Also, I love the nylon shopping totes to carry in my bag to use at stores. Then we don’t waste water and try to organize our car trips.
Happy Earth Day!
We shop with reusable tote bags at the grocer and drugstore and re-use the clear produce bags to line the pulp catch from our juicer to transfer to compost, if we don’t use it in another recipe. To reduce paper clutter, we donate magazines and catalogs to a local nursing home, or leave them in our doctor’s office; and it’s amazing the less amount of garbage that’s collected since we recycle plastic, paper and aluminum! Donations of clothes and domestics are greatly appreciated at a nearby ministry/thrift store. Less is best – we are blessed with more than we deserve, so I encourage others to re-give and receive a blessing!!
I love reuseable bags, I use them all the time – I love them. It’s a rainy day here in Southeast Ohio. The trees and flowers are blooming and beautiful.
For Earthday me ad my family are shutting off the lights/electronics and heading out side to do activities and plant our flowers for the summer ๐
I try to do my best when it comes to keeping things green, like using BPA-Free free water bot refilling them instead of buying a case of water bottles and just throwing them out, by using containers to store stuff and then reusing them instead of using sandwich bags or foil, by recycling all my newspapers and magazines, when I’m at a restraunt and order wine and they ask red or white i always inquire for green (organic made) wine, buying the “green” household cleaners (awesome , because they smell way better too!) and of course using reusable totes when grocery shopping always is a big plus! happy earth day everybody!
For Earth Day, my family will go on a nature walk on the Prairie Path. We will ride our bikes to get there. We also plan on planting a new sapling in our yard and tag it with “Earth Day 2011” to celebrate and always remember how truly beautiful and fruitful our earth is if we nuture and take care of it.
We recycled all of our papers, plastic and glass bottles and cardboard and took it to our local recyling bin. We also love re-usable grocery bags. Vera Bradley is our favorite!!!
I have a nice collection of reusable tote bags, but would very much like to add a Vera Bradley one to my collection. Thanks for the opportunity to enter the competition for the prize tote bag!
Love the new patterns and shopping made easy for all my coupons with this earth friendly tote!! Let’s celebrate life and all the earth has to offer!!
I wish this tote came in more patterns….I just might buy one of each!
My 7 year old son and I are planting a tree like we do every Earth Day and then we take our scraps from our composter and till it into our garden to prepare for planting!!!
I would love to add a Vera shopper to my collection of reusable bags. I have been using my own bags since the early 90’s. We make our own coffee & tea & use reusable travel mugs. We hang our laundry to dry. We are changing our light bulbs to halogen or CFL as the current ones go. We are making & using homemade chemical free cleaning products. We recycle as much waste as possible. We compost. We reuse our clothes and many other items by sharing them family, friends and donation. We have a chemical free lawn that is as natural as possible. See a Vera Bradley shopping bag would be put to good use. And used a a great advertisement for your company as I am often asked where I get my bags! Happy Earth Day!!!
I am enjoying earthday by celebrating my own birthday!!! I turn the big 45 today!! We take care of the earth that God has made by gardening, mowing and nourishing our yard!! Praying that everyone is doing the same to preserve what God has so graciously given to us. A beautiful place to live!!! Love some Vera Bradley too!!!!
I celebrate Earth Day by not buying bottled water anymore. I take a 34 oz water bottle everyday and use my Brita filter to clean the water. Not only does it save me money, but it saves the Earth too!!
We celebrate Earth Day every day. Reuseable shopping bags are always used, we make reducing waste & recycling a priority & reuse items whenever possible. We buy local, I make our breads & granola bars. Celebrating Mother Earth, today we will stay home, turn off the TV, do Easter crafts w/egg cartons, popsicle sticks & other items I have saved. Happy Earth Day & Easter!
I have 4 children and am teaching them to recycle. For Earth Day we plan to plant a tree in our back yard. A great learning experience for them to watch the growth and a great thing for our planet. Thanks!
We LOVE LOVE LOVE our Brita! Using a water filter and reusable bottles, cups, and other items helps keep the waste down in our house!
I refuse to buy bottled water, but rather re-use plastic water bottles my kids have left behind. I rarely use plastic bags when I pack my lunch for work, but try to use Tupperware or Rubbermaid containers or even the containers that came with lunch meats, although I try to avoid buying those now.
I have been recycling and re-using shopping bags for everything since the early 80s, and even gave out hand painted canvas bags as favors at my daughter’s wedding. Love yours!
Great bag!!
We donated 75% of our stuff from our storage garage to good will and ditched the storage garage.
I’m doing the cliche of planting a tree. โค the earth! and of course vera bradley! ๐
I love this tote. I sew, crochet, quilt, read, etc….so, I can do all kinds of things with this! It’s so cute!!
We are going to start our spring flower planting today and walk rather than take our car for today’s errands.
Great bag, would love to carry this when I shop. I love all the Vera Bradley products. I would be proud to carry this bag, for sure. This morning for earth day I planted a small garden and a large planter box of flowers and herbs. Can’t wait to see them grow.
Always using reusable shopping bags,making my own compost,not using any heating elements for my hair today,and for the weekend getting a couple of trees and planting them. Your tote is so sheik… Happy Earth Day everyone,We all need to do our part in protecting our earth.
To celebrate Earth Day, I’m going to photograph my dogs outside running around and playing in the mud and rain puddles and enjoying their much loved “outdoor time.” I’m also going to get outside this weekend and plant my flowers, fruits and vegetables. I cant wait until the flowers start to bloom and my garden produces yummy fruits and vegetables for us to eat! YAY for all those things that we love about earth, but take for granted!
My daughters and I will do a Girl Scout community project and walk the neighborhood park and pick up garbage accumulated over the winter. We will then go to see the Disney movie African Cats, opening on Earth Day, so a donation can be made to save the Savanna.
Happy Happy Earth Day!! My mother would love this reusable tote – it’s so pretty ๐
I love the shopper totes!! We use reusable bags all of the time whenever we go shopping!
I LOVE this reusable bag!!! It’s so cute! I need more of these, I only have 1, and that’s not enough for all my groceries!
To celebrate earth day i’m spending the day outside doing yard work. The TV & Computers are gonna be off all day & as soon as my husband gets home from work we’re not driving the car anywhere for the rest of the day.
For this Earth Day I’m going to use reusable shopping bags, keep the lights turn off when I’m not using them, and watch less TV.
I just love Vera Bradley and I have tons of things that are Vera Bradley , and if I win would win a reusable bag that is Vera Bradley I would use it every time I go shopping.
I LOVE these bags and use them for so many things-this one is super cute!!!
Thanks for the chance to win!
We recycle cans and bottles on a weekly basis and use reusable grocery bags. The plastic bags that we do receive at the store we are sure to return them to their recycle bins they have on site. I am a bag lover and I love all Vera Bradley items. This bag would be a wonderful addition! ๐
Our garden is full of veggies ready to eat!! Happy Earth Day and Happy Birthday to Jon.
I am celebrating by using reusable bags at the grocery store today and taking my reusable cup to Starbucks to get a free coffee!:) Yum!
This bag is beautiful. I have a set of folding Vera bags that are in the little cinch up sack (can’t remember what they are called). I love them. They always make me smile even when I am just buying groceries. ๐
We try to be as earth friendly as we can each day, not just on earth day. But I will make a point to sit down and talk to the girls about respecting the earth, and we will watch school house rock earth today!
wow! Recycled Beauty! I have to get one somewhere someway, to celebrate earthday, and the earth each day with a VB shopper!
LOVE the bags. Great give away!
I am a huge fan of Eco friendly materials. Whether its recycling, eco friendly consumer products, and recyclable products. When their is chance to buy something recycled I always take that option. Just if every one could take this steps, we could all share a cleaner environment together. Happy Earth day and always check twice before disposing of something.
I love reusable totes and this one is beautiful!
I b am reducing my carbon footprints by not going anywhere today…and by continue using my reusable bottles!s
cute tote!
To celebrate Earth Day my daughter made a bird feeder out of logs, drilled holes then packed them with peanut butter…she hung it outdoors last night! The birds love it! Today I will shop for our Easter dinnner using a shopper bag….Love my VERA so very much! ๐
I love using sustainable bags! It makes me feel less wasteful. I would surly be the envy of the other green shoppers with a vera shopping bag!
We do not use bottled water anymore. We try to buy earth friendly products. And just respect and value our planet.
Love this reusable bag! I have two from few years ago. They go with me everywhere I shop. Happy Earth Day!
I make afgans for family and friends, that beautiful tote would make a great bag for yarn, needles, hooks and supplies. I’m a huge Vera collector!!
I celebrate Earth Day everyday by using reusable grocery bags, recycling what I can and reducing waste. I would use this colorful tote for gifts for my granddaughter who is due in early June. Her mom could reuse it for groceries and a baby bag. (However, I did buy her a VB baby bag as soon as we found out she was expecting a girl.) You’re never to young to be a Vera girl!
What a great giveaway for Earth Day! We will spend our day tilling and planting our garden. If time allows, hope to plant more flowers in our yard. Would love taking this bag to the grocery store! God Bless!
Just be aware of everything and try to reduce or reuse when possible. But this is something I do all the time now not just today.
We celebrate earth day, every day. We recycle & reuse as much as we can. We donate anything that can be used again. We always use reusable grocery totes. We want to do everything we can to take care of the earth while we are here so that our future children and all future generations will be able to experience the world as we have. ๐
I love reusable bags!
Happy Earth Day!
I would love to win the Viva La Vera shopping bag. I bring my Iced Tea or coffee to work in my reusable coffee mug everyday and when I go grocery shopping I always use my reusable shopping bags, this bag would look nice in my shopping cart in place of one of my grocery store labeled bags!
I use reuseable shopping bags (in a boring solid color so could use some color from this beautiful Vera bag), reuseable water bottles and coffee travel mugs. I am also planning on starting a family Earth Day tradition by doing dinner by candlelite in honor of Mother Earth.
๐
I celebrate Earth day everyday!
I recycle almost everything. I use my totes when I grocery shop, or just shopping at the mall. Any plastic bag I get goes into the recycle bin at my local grocery store. I recycle all my paper’s, magazines and cardboard at our local church to help them raise money. Eveyrthing else is recycled with our weekly garbage pick-up and the bin is always full. I started a recycle program here at work and believe that it has made a difference. We need to keep our EARTH clean and healthy for future generations! We all need to do our part.
We are planting baby trees that Smoky the Bear brought to school for the kids- and continuing to recycle EVERY day!!
Oh that is a pretty bag for spring! We’ll be starting our new garden this weekend for earth day. We haven’t had a garden for quite a few years so we’re excited to be having one again!
Love! Love! Love! Pretty and Practical!
I just saw these bags at the VBOS and love them. I don’t do any shopping without reusable bags – and these are so stylish, how could you ever go back to paper or plastic?!
I am going to plant a free tree. I also celebrate Earth Day because it is my daughter’s birthday. I use reusable shopping bags whenever I am out shoppping for any household and personal items. I am a recycling nut and would love to show off a Vera Bradley reusable shopping tote! ๐
Recycle of course! Take shorter showers…don’t use all those plastic bags and reduce paper usage
I โค it! Happy Earth Day, Vera! ๐
I am a teacher and recycling coordinator at a high school and for earth day I am encouraging all of the students in my high school to recycle by giving out prizes to all of the kids that recycle during lunch . Year-round I try to educate my students of the importance of recycling and saving our planet. I will also make good use of my reusable bags when i go shopping later today. None of them are as pretty as this Vera one though!
Happy Earth Day!
I use travel cups daily for my commute and recycle paper, plastic, aluminum and glass at home. At the office, I recycle all the same things. I try to watch what I buy as far as excess packaging and will often comment to companies that use excessive packaging. It really is to bad that our world has to be so concerned about things being stolen from stores that the packaging has to be excessive!
What a wonderful way to celebrate such an important day! Enjoy!
I’m cleaning out flower beds, getting ready for spring. So happy to see my perennials returning!
For Earth Day, as usual,I am using my shopping totes for groceries and other shopping and I am going to use a refillable water bottle. Also I teach yoga and some other classes at the gym so I am going to give away a cute shopping tote to hopefully promotion others to start (or continue) to use reusable shoppers daily!(
I am celebrating Earth Day by putting my re-usable bags back in the van so I don’t keep forgetting to use them!
Love the bag. recycle and restore balance when you take away.
My family uses reusable bags instead of plastic bags. We also bring them with us to the beach and to the pool in the summer. My family has a collection of reusable bags that we use almost every day. For Earth Day, my family is not going to use electricity for 2 hours tonight. Also, my mom helped out at the Charles River clean up. I love that Vera Bradley reusable bag!
To celebrate Earth Day my family and I go to a local event that is sponsored by the community where ypou can pit plants and vegetables and take home your own tree sapling to plant in your yard. They learn about the local animals and how we canmake a difference in our community which will inturn make an impact on our earth.
Sent lunch in the Vera lunchbag and will use my reusable coffee mug too. Planning my trips to save as much gas as possible today and everyday.
Would love to win this bag. I love to use them when shopping and also to tote things to work.
I love the reuseable tote – too cute! It will go with all of my other reuseable bags I use for grocery shopping. I always get comments about my Ohio State bag at the grocery:) Happy Earth Day!
To celebrate earth day I am using a reusable coffee cup today! ๐
My family uses pretty reusable bags as gift bags. We pass them back and forth so we get to enjoy them for awhile and then are treated to a new one or an old favorite when your next birthday comes around.
I am helping my neighbors trim up our trees so that they have a chance to grow and be healthy, in Dallas we have had horrific winds and more and more branches have broken off so for earth day it feels good to want to clean up and make our trees strong and beautiful again. Phyllis
love this shopper tote
I will be gardening today.
I have made a larger decision today/yesterday. I read an article yesterday on ways to be more green. I am doing away with plastic baggies in my kids’ lunch boxes and going to plastic, reusable containers.
Reusable bags – the only way to shop!!
Love the new print ๐
Trying not to watch television for the day, also using my bike for transportation instead of driving.
I have been an Earth Day tree hugger from way back, when my high school ecology club collected newspapers for recycling in 1974! We also cleared roadsides of garbage, collected cans for recycling, and took glass bottles to the Boy Scouts who collected them. I am a recycling lifer and live by the motto “Think Globally, Act Locally” Your tote falls into the category of Reduce, Reuse, Recyle, and that’s an idea I am totally into!
I will be planting my garden!!
To Celebrate EarthDay I am reusing everything and cleaning closets and cupboards and donating for others to enjoy. So nice to have BEAUTIFUL Vera Bradley to hold my purchases and tote to work everyday! It just makes the world a more COLORFUL place to enjoy!
On Earthday and everyday I try to use only reusable bottles for water on the go, pack my lunch in reusable containers and always bring reusable shopping bags when I am shopping. Less is more!!
We are celebrating as a family. We live in an earth sheltered home. that means we have grass on our roof and use passive solar to help heat our house. My son and I are cleaning things out of the house and garage for our communities spring clean up. Good items we put out early will be sorted through and anyone that wants them can take them for free to use or sell. My daughter is playing her trumpet in a HS Jazz Band in a celebration for Earth Day at a local elementary school. I watch preschool children and I will be serving them home made applesauce today and we will be talking about growing our own fruits and vegetables.
I will be using reusable shopping totes and my family will cleaning up around the neighbor hood
My goal for today is not to have any impact on the environment. My morning coffee is going in my travel mug, I’ve got my reusable dishes ready to go, and I am walking everywhere!
This bag is pretty and practical…love it!
For Earth Day, we are taking all of our plastic shopping bags to a recycling center at a local store!
Viva la Earth!!
I โค this tote! Happy Earth Day! โค ๐ ๐ ๐
Every day should be Earth Day. I recycle everything. I am always looking for a good looking bag. I don’t care for the plastic bags. We live in a disposable society where people need to be more knowagable about what we are throwing into the ground and what it affects; ie water system and the food we grow.
Adorable Bag!!! I try to use my reusable bags as often as possible! This one would make a great addition to my collection :).
We use reusable bags, recycle anything that can be recycled, and use reusable water bottles. Love your totes!
I use my travel coffee mug every day, not just on earth day…lets save the earth every day…and leave something for our grandkids…
This shopping tote is fabulous! I always take re-usable shopping bags to the farmer’s market when shopping for locally grown fruits and veggies. For Earth Day I will be using my re-usable bags all day when donating clothes and household items that we no longer use. Earth Day should be in style every day with Vera Bradley as the perfect accessory!
Enjoy your day!
Love the colors!!
To celebrate Earth day, my daugther (5) and I have a tradition of planting flowers! Today it is raining here so we may have to move it to tomorrow though! We also both packed our lunches today in our lunch bags! And ALWAYS use reusable grocery bags!!!
I love this cute bag.. I am a fond user of reusable bag, and if I run out and forget mine, I recycle the other kind! Happy Earth day/Good Friday everyone!
In honor of Earth Day today, my boyfriend and I are going to our local coffee shop with our reusable drinkware tumblers so that we do not use paper cups. I think little steps like this will help protect and preserve Earth–this is the only planet of its kind, so we have to take care of it.
P.S. The Vera tote is so pretty and would be very useful!!
To celebrate Earth Day, I will be using my reusable shopping bags to do my grocery shopping. I always keep my reusable bags in the trunk of my car so they are on hand for quick trips to the store. My students also celebrated Earth Day at school yesterday and each made an Earth Day pledge of what they will do to make the Earth a cleaner place:)
I have a few bags already and I love to add to my collection.
I always use reusable shopping bags! The more the better! And the cuter the better!
HAPPY EARTH DAY EVERYONE!!! Love everything about Vera!! As i sit here at my desk, I am using my Vera Agenda Planner, while writing a memo in my Vera Stationary, and file paperwork into my Vera 3 Ring Binder!!! This bag would be perfect to carry my Vera office supplies from home to work everyday!!! LOVE IT!!!!!
We are planting a tree and expanding the garden. The more home grown veggies we use means less shippping and packaging required.
Went to the outlet sale last week and got 6 of the Vera water bottles as we will no longer be buying the bottled water – giving some of these as gifts to affect other familes as well. Would be so proud to carry the Vera Bradley Shopper Tote as another expression of dedication to helping to save our earth.
We are starting to compost, and have used recycling as great home school projects. This bag would make a wonderful addition to our “green” family…
I celebrate Earth Day everyday by using a water bottle rather than purchasing bottled water and by bringing my own bag to the grcery store.
We celebrate Earth Day all year long by using bringing our own cup for coffee. Using reusable shopping bags and planting a garden!!
Earth Day is a great time to start to save the earth and what a great way to encourage others by using the Vera Bradley reuseable tote.
Way to go Vera!!!!!
Gardening for my 2nd year, included 10 chickens this year for fresh eggs….going to Lowe’s to get my free tree sample…..always conscious about this wonderful country GOD gave us. We have to protect it just likes he protects us everyday. Thank you Jesus! what a wonderful gift to win celebrating him!!
working today.
Big VB fan. I decline a shopping bag whenever I purchase something that fits in my purse.
EVERY DAY IS EARTH DAY! CELEBRATE! I walk to the grocery store and use a reusable tote bag to carry my purchases back home. I enjoy the exercise (walking 3 miles round trip and “weight lifting”), I am able to positively impact on the environment (using less gas and paper / plastic bags), and I save money (using less gas)! It’s so easy to make small changes that have a tremendous cumulative effect!
Donating clothes to my local second hand store
I have the other reusable tote and love it! I always feel glamorous at the market!
I LOVE MY VERA!!!………ENOUGH SAID =)
In support of earth day, I use my VB Super Tote to go clothes shopping with…I am able to pack all my shopping in it. I use recycled bags for all our grocery shopping. I use my VB travel mug, to save on paper cups. Lunches are packed in reusable containers in our VB lunch bags. We recycle all plastic and paper in our home, only turn on the water when needed…we do not let it run. Electricity is only turned on when needed. We don’t keep lights on if we are not using them. We love to eat dinner in candle light and use our natural fireplace to help heat our home. To save on paper, we have all our statements delivered electronically. Our family LOVES Vera Bradley and uses their bags for travel, everyday use and just for fun!
I love to help others find their favoite dessert plates from Willow House so they have a beautiful table and never use papaer plates again! ๐
Happy Earth Day! I absolutely LOVE my shopper totes. I also use a travel mug every day for my coffee and I re-use my water bottles throughout the day. Love love love this tote pattern!
I love these types bags! They are very useful! I hate having so many plastic bags.
We are planting a tree to celebrate earth day. Ohio has been hit by the Emerald Ash Bore, an insect that has killed thousands of trees in the area. We are going to make it a tradition to plant a tree for earth day every year.
Beautiful BAG! Would love to have one to tote all my groceries in!
I use reusable shopping totes, pick up litter along the raodways and rely on my travel mugs. I recycle plastic coffee containers within my fire company and machine shop. As a country, we have far too many disposable items becuase of convenience. We need to think outside the box for reuse.
We are celebrating Earth Day by taking part in the Great Cloth Diaper Change!
I’m planting a tree today.
To celebrate Earth Day this year, I’m picking up a basket from the thrift store to better contain our family’s paper recycling between pick ups!
My family and I recycle/reuse at home and at work, clothes are donated to the Hope Chest and books are given to the public library in our hometown, and magazines are donated to senior centers in our town and in Cleveland where we go visit my FIL.
I love earth day!!! Have a great one!!!
I am excited to be going out soon with my 17 month old Carter to continue teaching him about being friendly to our Earth. We will stop at Starbucks so I can get the free coffee with my travel mug and off to shop for groceries using the Vera bags I already have along with our other bags. We try to show him Earth friendly things daily! This bag would be a lovely addition!!
I am cleaning out my closets and donating clothing and household things to a friend with relatives in Mexico who can very well use them. I am also urging my neighbors to donate to the cause so we can have a real meaningful “spring cleaning”. I have also made a pledge to myself to take a bag along on my morning walks to pick up any trash along the way.
My Alpha Sigma Tau sisters and I planted flowers together in the flower beds at a local cemetery. I, myself, recycle and only use reusuable bags when I go shopping.
To celebrate earth day tonight I am taking my girls to Girl scout event at a park to teach them about recycling and what they can do to save the earth.. It is the responsibility of us to teach the future leaders of tomorrow how keep our world going for future generations..
We are planting some flowers and shrubs today.
We are celebrating earth day by going to buy plants and flowers for our flowerbed, if it would only stop raining we could plant them.
We also reuse and recycle my girls clothing by selling them at the Just Between Friends childrens Consignment sale, we sell our outgrown only to use the money we get to reinvest in bigger sizes from people that are selling their outgrown. Great way to recycle and make a few dollars!!!
We always keep our reusable bags in the truck, that way you always have them with you. We also plant treeks that are common in our area, so they have a better chance of living. Here on the Gulf Coast we keep our beaches clean so the birds don’t eat the paper/plastic that can be left behide. And remember all pastic 6 pk holders should be cut up so the burds and sea turtles can’t get trapped in them, it is a terrible thing to see a beautiful sea turtle with a plastic ring around it’s neck or flipper, digging in causeing pain and death. Happy Easter to all, and don’t use plastic eggs, use real ones!
I try to remember my reusable bags, but sometimes I forget. If I end up having to get plastic bags, I save them and take to Publix or Wal Mart to recycle. Today specifically, I have been saving “dead” batteries in one location. Today I take them to EBCO to dispose of safely so that I don’t put chemicals and acids in our landfill to seep into the earth. Also, we are making another “water barrell” to catch runoff from the drain pipes after a rain. We made one last year and it works beautifully.
This would be so fab to carry shopping! ๐ I would love to be that stylish at the grocery store!!!
What a cute bag!
I use reusable bags for everything that I can! Your bag is beautiful!
We are planting baby trees from Smoky the Bear- and continuing to recycle EVERY day!!
Praying the rain will hold off so we can start planting our first row in the garden ๐ Love the bag!
I try to celebrate earth day everyday. Recycle everything. Always use my travel mug; keep a glass at work to get water from the fountain instead of purchasing plastic bottles. Reuse the back of all paper before recycling it.
Love the reusable bags! We use them all the time and when also request paper bags when we can at places. For my daughters Girl Scout unit they bought up a few hundred paper bags from Sav alot grocery stores and decorated them with “nature” scenes for earth day. Then we returned them to the stores to give them away at the stores because you have to purchase your bags for your groceries.
In honor of Earth Day, my family and I will be planting a tree in our backyard. We will also be making decorations out of old birthday cards for the kids playroom. :o)
I will be celebrating Earth day by trading in all my plastic bags for reusable bags for my grocries, Me and my daughter both use reusable totes for are lunches, And We are planting trees in are backyard, This Vera Bradley tote Is really cute and it would work out great for me to use for wk or to take with me on trips, Happy Earth Day Vera Bradley..
I always use reusable totes when I shop. This would make a beautiful tote to show off on my next shopping spree!
So few people realize Mother Nature produces a different kind and even beautiful form of pollution on some beaches. I love walking the beach in the morning to collect sea glass. Such a treasure!
Today I’m bringing my travel mug to Starbucks and scoring a free coffee in celebration of Earth Day and not using their usual paper cups.
Love the bag, we recycle all our pop cans and reuse our grocery bags all the time.
We celebrate Earth Day by recycling on a daily basis. Today we planted flowers and some bushes native to the area!
I already have two of these bags and they are great but I really could use one more.
My goal today is to not create any garbage. If it can’t be recycled or reused, I don’t need to use it. I am also planting two new trees (in the rain!). One of these totes would be a fabulous addition to my collection of fierce Vera Bradley things! ๐ Happy Earth Day!
We try and recycle as much as we can. Try to cut down on the amount of water we use as well. Love the resuable bag!
I’ll be celebrating by keeping my kids outside and shutting off the electronics in my house!
I will be cleaning up Piedmont Park in Atlanta today with my 6 month old. Last year my sweet little girl was in my belly, this year she gets to help. ๐
I will continue to use my reusable grocery shopping bags and to take my pink twirly bird tote when I go to shop so that I can leave the paper bags behind in the stores. I would love to have this tote to add to my collection – then I would have a tote to share with a shopping friend (as long as she returned it! ๐
This is a great tote to use anytime. Getting the whole family to think about our impact on our earth!
Let’s see…well I’ll be bringing my own bags to the store. And I will bring my own cup when I go to Biggby later. ๐
Today to help celebrate earth day I will be only using reuseable totes, no plastic water bottles, and I will be going through my pantry to clean it out and donate anything that I don’t intend to use over the next couple of weeks to the local food pantry.
I celebrate earth day everyday! Just one day a year for our mother earth is not enough! I recycle, i had solar panels installed in my house, and i have my own garden filled with fruits and vegetables. Earth day should be everyday! Reduce Reuse and Recycle my friends!
To celebrate Earth Day I ordered reusable sandwich bags from re-pac and will be making more of an effort to remember my reusable grocery bags when I go to the store.
Visit my pharmacy: http://www.MurrayAvenueRx.com- PITTSBURGH’S ONLY GREEN PHARMACY- and shop for all-natural, organic health and skin care products to celebrate Earth Day!
In honor of earth day, I made earth decorated cupcakes with all organic ingredients and reusable silicone cupcake liners. Adorable and earth friendly. Btw I love this bag!
I work at Penn State University and today I will be joining some staff and students for activities and events to help support initiatives to give our community a sense of all the work on sustainability at Penn State.
I don’t have to go to work today so I’m planning to play in the dirt for Earth Day! I’ll be planting and weeding the garden.
This month, I have been unplugging my cell phone charger once my phone is charged. Luckily my DROID X has a message that reminds me. I had to go into the hospital yesterday. Since I can’t go shopping I used my Vera shopping tote from 2 years ago to carry my magazines and books. I love the tote and it still looks new. I also recycle my magazines by sharing with my Mother after I read them. One last thing, I just used this bag as a gift bag for my daughter’s birthday gift. I filled it with the Viva La Vera beach towel and flip flops. It was so cute and functional. No giftwrap or bag to throw away. When I left the store, I wished that I had bought one for myself. It would be so nice to win one! Thanks for all of the great products! I love everything
Vera!
Earth day is a day to thank our planet for providing us what we need to survive. Today I am thanking our planet Earth by recycling all my unneeded items in my house. Thank you EARTH!
I always use reusable totes when shopping and this would make for one beautiful tote to show off! I love those Vera bags!
We are going to our local Earth Day Celebration. Then we are going to the park to take a hike and enjoy our great Earth. We will also plant a tree like we do every year.
I never though about being green until I had two kids at 35 years old and moved to the beautifu Ozark Mountains. My family goes back seven generations in Branson Missouri and I want the town, the ‘hills’ and the lake around for my grandchildren. We compost and Branson is just starting a curb-side recycling program this spring. I am also going to try to start a compost program at the local elem. school where I work. We are have to take steps to make a BIG difference!
This is very cute! We are celebrating Earth Day by going for a walk to appreciate the woods surrounding our house. We are also cleaning out items to donate to a local resale shop. Feels good to keep it out of the landfill plus the money made goes to a local food pantry.:)
Happy Earth Day! We will spend the day Easter shopping- making as many “green” choices as possible. Enjoy the beautiful day ~
What a wonderful balance of conservation and fashion!
Love the shopper tote! I use my reusable shopping bags everywhere for everything. They beat plastic bags by a mile!
I agree with those who say everyday is Earth Day. It’s nice to have a special day to do special things, but I’m trying to raise my daughter to know that reduce, reuse, recycle is more than a slogan; it’s a way of life. Every time she wants to buy something I ask her if it will end up in the landfill, and if so, how soon. I want her to think about that carefully before making any purchase. Today we’ll be planting flowers.
As always I will be using my nalgene bottle and my reusable plastic bags.
I try to celebrate Earth Day everyday! We started a garden in out back yard this year; being in Southern Arizona this is challenging after living in the fertile south. Also starting a worm compost. I buy local as often as I can, Bountiful Baskets is great and our local farmers market (which we will visit tomorrow). Reusable shopping bags are a must! So many little things we can do. Every small change counts!!!!
I brought my reusable coffee mug to Starbucks today. When grocery shopping, I always use my reusable bags. ๐ Love this Vera.
Would love to win! I use reusable bags when we shop and to deliver my products locally. I love my Vera!!!
I use reusable bags when possible and recycle our soda cans and bottles.
This tote bag is way nicer than the ones I have. Would love to win one.
I love the colors on this Tote and I would give this to my mom as she has promoted recycling and being an example numerous ways to save the Earth!
To celebrate Eath Day, I’m working with my local hospital to turn a vacant lot into a community garden. Just like Vera Bradley, we want to make the world a more beautiful place!
We are celebrating Earth Day (& Good Friday!) by going on a picnic!
We are recycling our old electronics this Earth Day & my daughter is volunteering for the town’s Earth Day cleanup. We now use reusable tote bags instead of paper gift bags, so everyone gets an extra gift! This tote would make a gorgeous gift bag!!
Today is not only Earth day but is also Good Friday! Two years ago on Good Friday we met our angels Birth mother who would then make me a mommy on 7*7*2009!! The past year we went to the zoo.. but today to celebrate Earth Day, Good Friday and our Birth mother anniversary we are going to pick up some plants to plant and get our angel a book on recycling! Have a great Earth Day! xo
Love my reusuable Vera Bradley bags I currently have! I use them for all varities of shopping and toting. I would love to have the
Viva la Vera tote to match my Viva la Vera bag I already own. Love this pattern!
Using the cinammon roll icing containers for ketchup or syrup dippers for my kids to use is a great way to recycle!
LOVE this new pattern …..would LOVE this bag!! Happy Earth Day (:
I love the resuable tote! I defintely need one!
This is the cutest bag, makes me want to go out shopping right now !
I love this Vera bag!!
I’m sewing costumes for my play – now that doesn’t sound like an Earth day thing, but I’m using fabric that’s been donated and would have probably been thrown out!
I love my reusable bags. I recently moved and instead of packing my clothes in boxes or luggage, I used my shopping bags. They hold so much and are so much easier to store when empty!
We celebrate earth day everyday! We use reusable mugs and reusable bags, we buy local produce to support responsible sustainable farming. We walk where ever we can rather than take the car. We have been teaching our daughter how important it is to respect the earth so it is here for many more generations to come. Earth day should be celebrated every day…if we all made little changes we could see such big improvements
We will be more aware of reducing waste today, so we’ll be using our water bottles and travel mugs today, as well as our reusable shopping bags! Happy Earth Day!
I just love this bag! Today is my brother Joe’s birthday and my husbands grandmothers b-day…Happy B-day to them and our earth!
Have to use the reusable coffee cup! Each morning I use my reusable cup to take my morning caffeine to work. ๐
Happy Earth Day!
I love this bag and would love to use it at the grocery store along with my other VB bags!
I am celebrating by Earth Day by planting flowers around my apartment complex and my mother’s house. I will also be donating some of my time to the local recycling center.
call me bag lady. I love that reusable bag!!!
To celebrate Earth Day, I have donated my old counter tops to Habitat For Humanity and got “green” ones to replace them!
I plan on getting a free tree from Lowe’s for Earth Day and am going to plant it in my boyfriends mom’s yard. She recently had to cut down a row of trees in her yard because they were dying. Then hangout with the family outside and hopefully enjoy the nice weather. Possibly go for a run outside with my Golden Retriever.
Riding my bike to work! Would love a shopping tote to carry my stuff in on the way!
I’m turning off the AC today and opening all the widows, it might get a little warm, but it’s wonderful to have fresh air in the house! And I’m not using any extra power today!
Honestly, I try to celebrate a little bit of earth day everyday. I am always using reusable bags at the stores, using my own travel mug when I stop to get coffee or tea, Recycle weekly, and go through my clothes once a month and donate them to Charity. Today, I will be doing the same plus spending some time in the yard ๐ I love being green!
for earth day, I am using my reusable coffee mug for my daily starbuck fix- I am having my child use the leftover pizza box for posterboard for his class project-I am continuing with my daily use of reuseable bags for all my shopping-
To celebrate Earth Day I am bringing my reusable bags grocery shopping and going to buy more when I am there, so I don’t have to use any plastic bags. I am also using my reusable mug instead of buying coffee on my way to work!!!
I love using reusable bags to do all of my shopping. How much fun would it be do have a bag as cute as this?
We use reusable shopping bags at our house and all day today I will be using my travel mug! I love all things Vera Bradley and would love to have this bag to shop with!!
I love shopper totes! I have 2 so far & take them evverywhere! Would love to have 1 more to help carry groceries!
Happy Earth Day!
I love using reusable bags to do all of my shopping. How much fun would it be to have a bag as cute as this?
To celebrate, I am walking to class instead of driving as I usually do, skipping my morning coffee (from Dunkin), and will work in the garden when I get home! Happy Earth Day!
I am a big fan of recycling – reduce reuse, recycle! I use my reusable shopping bags whenever I go shopping. The Vera Bradley shopping bags give an extra punch of excitement to an Earth-friendly activity.
Love my Vera Bradley things. I always get compliments on my purse, eye glass case, computer bag, etc….
It is raining here so no planting but we are doing a no t.v. day with the kids (4 kids so should be fun) and looking for things we can take to Goodwill.
For Earth Day My Family and I are using reusable shopping bags we are going to use them instead of the plastic,we are recycling paper and plastic,we are cutting down electricity by not watching Television and only spending 10minuets each on the computer, and we are also not driving atall instead we are riding our bikes to places we need to get to!
Happy Earth Day!!!!!
Earth Day is a great day to remember the importance or preserving our planet. As an educator I work with my students all year to apply ways to save our planet. Our children have great power in encouraging the adults they come in contact with by “preaching and practicing” what they have learned. A Vera reusable tote bag will allow me to continue using reusable bags and educating those around us. It will also be impressive to my students to see other companies supporting our desire to keep our planet clean!
For earth day I will continue to use a travel mug for my coffee and I will try to remember to use reuseable bags at the store.
I have started celebrating Earth Day every day. I try to recycle everything I can from grocery bags, plastic bottles, cans, and even laundry and dish soap containers. I have started feeling very guilty if I just throw these things in the trash. So, today, I am going to celebrate like every other day: recycle!!! And, I love the Viva La Vera shopper. I would love to have one of my own. ๐
Love the bag,my plan is to use them much more regularly!
We celebrate Earth Day by being outside! Now that our girls are in school where recess is limited, we look forward to being outdoors as much as possible. Even if it is only our lovely, tree-filled back yard, it means so much to be part of our beautiful world!
In celebration of earth day, the students at my school began by picking up garbage and planting some new flowers (yesterday). Today, I will be shopping for groceries using some other re-usable totes (not as cute as this Vera Bradley), and will work in the yard to begin my garden.
Very cute bag….love love love VeraB!
Would love to have this tote. Love Vera Bradley.
Love it!!!!
GREAT sale on a pattern fit for Earth Day!!!
Happy Earth Day !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wohoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Save the Planet
WOW what a beautiful bag! I need this bag to carry all my packages when I go shopping. I have many reuseable bags but none as pretty as this! I am in charge of our “green team” at my elementary school….we recycle juice pouches, chip bags and most recently, plastic zip lock bags! I am teaching my students to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle!!
Mr. Gorman and I are going to stake out the yard for our new raised bed gardens that we have been planning all winter. Since it is also Good Friday, later we will be taking in the earth and all that God has given as we walk to church.
We’re celebrating Earth Day by pledging to get rid of the plastic! We will be using totes from now on for all shopping. It’s not much but a start.
As we celebrate Good Friday and Earth day, we are starting to prepare our garden for the summer. Turning the sleeping soil over and adding compost excites us for spring. We will then plant the seedlings growing in our windowsills beside our onions and rhubarb. We will also be trying a cold frame this year in the hopes we can grow lettuce into the winter months this year. We build the cold frame from one of our old wooden storms. Spring is here !
I’m dropping off my recycling, washing my little one’s diapers and thinking of doing a giveaway of my own!!
I am going to use my reusable shopping bags when I go grocery shopping tonight. I have about 6 of them that I use for all kinds of stuff–I can’t get enough of them. They always seem to disappear or get re-appropriated when I let my boys use them for taking food and supplies on boy scout outings…somehow I think a Vera Bradley bag would make it back to me ๐
This earth day tote is the best thing! You can use it for just about anything.
Not only does using totes cut down on trash, it can also reduce this cost to the stores (not having to order so many grocery bags) and I like to think in a small way that savings can be passed on to the consumers.
If you still get an actual newspaper, use it instead of paper towels to clean your windows. Less lint.
I am going to celebrate Earth Day by going to Lowe’s tomorrow to get a free tree and then I’ll plant it in my yard.
Celebrating Earth Day is not less than any special day i am hosting a party where i am inviting all my friends who are going to bring the and some recycle items an we are going to plant some trees.
Happy Earth Day! I’m celebrating by creating lessons for my students to read and write about preserving the earth’s resources.
I always take reusable bags with me to do my shopping. I like them so much better than the thin plastic bags you receive from stores. Some even give you money for bringing in your bags! The only thing better would be with this stylish Vera bag!
Viva la Vera is the wallpaper on my laptop!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!
Love it!
Happy Earth Day! Would really enjoy using this bag
I’ll be working in my garden!
these shopper totes are adorable and are so well made and sturdy! They will last for 1000’s of uses!
I would love the tote for Earth Day! Vera B. has the best fashionable handbags and totes available!
I am off to the grocery store with my reusable bags. LOVE this one
i love the vera bradley tote bag & it’s beautiful colors/flowers are surely a reminder of how we want to keep this earth of ours! we will be mulching, planting, & trying to give back to “Mother Earth”. would love to replace the old shopping bags for the new vera bradley tote! Happy Earth Day!
cute bag!
I would love to add this pretty bag to our collection of reusable shopping bags.
yay for earth dayyy! ๐
Awesome bag! I think the reusable shopping totes are so cute. Haven’t bought one yet, but want to!
For Earth Day, and everyday, I will use my travel mug to bring my coffee on my adventures. It is gorgeous here today so we will head outside for some fun at the playground. Maybe later we will see the Disney African Cats with the kids.
So pretty! Makes you think of Spring and being outdoors shopping at the Farmer’s market.
We recycle, use reuseable shoping bags, look for earth friendly products, we just bought a “green car”, try to use as little water as possible, and try to educate young people to care about their enviroment.
To celebrate Earth Day my daughter and I are going to the store to purchase some flowers and plant them in our front yard. She loves carring the reusable bags like a purse!
To celebrate Earth Day I am cleaning out my closets and donating all of the things I no longer wear or use. This includes some older Vera’s!!
I try to always shop with reusable bags, having a Vera one would make the experience all the more beautiful! ๐
Just discovered amazing biodegradable bamboo plant pots that you can put directly into the ground and they’ll break down and feed your plant nutrients…or you can keep them above ground and they look great as well. Perfect for Earth Day!!
We use bags over and over again for groceries and baby travel and junk!
I always use a reusable mug for my coffee and also reusable water bottle.
I recycle newspapers,magazines, plastic bottles and bags, and bring my own containers for left-overs when I eat out at restaurants. In my work place(a Senior Center volunteer) we recycle all excess paper generated from the copy machine and flyers for the trips I plan for seniors. I love Vera and am getting many Deco Daisy items for my Travels this year!!
Ohhh! Very pretty, I would definately use that to haul my things in! We try to take as much as possible to the recycling center.
Everyday should be Earth Day! We celebrate by always recycling! I keep it fun by using recycable grocery bags ~ and I only use the cutest ones I find!!!!
After teaching my students all week about conservation and how to reduce, reuse, and recycle, we end our week by picking up trash on our school grounds. Over the weekend, they will write down what they did to ‘help the Earth’. Love this time of year! ‘Make Earth Day Everyday!’
All week we have been going through closets and storage area to find things to donate, put on FreeCycle, or take to the local recycling center.
I will be celebrating by planting if it stops raining and cleaning up the depris in the culdesac.
I plan to start some seeds for my garden in honor of earth day.
I love using reusable bags for all my shopping ๐
I am going to start using reuasable cups or water bottles instead of disposable ones as often as I can.
Would love to add this beautiful tote to my collection of shopping bags! Happy Earth Day to All!
We are going to plant tress for Earth Day, including some beautiful lilacs!
My sons and I are joining our area HOA and picking up trash along an HOA sponsored, heavily travelled roadway. After that, my youngest is using one of my “Birds in a nest” totes as his basket at a local Easter Egg Hunt.
Reuseable and stylish! Would use this bag all the time.
I love Viva La Vera – what a perfect tribute to Earth Day!
Today I will be participating in Neighborhood Cleanup project and then home to start my own herb garden seedlings!
Viva le! Life the life today and everyday!!!
I will celebrate Earth Day by shopping with reusable bags and drinking out of my travel coffee mug!
We have had Earth Day Celebrations at my college all week, even little hand held pine trees to grow in our own back yards! Our college is also employing “Green Fridays” in the summer to reduce emissions and save on paper, electricity etc. I adore my insulated reusable coffee mug as well as my gym water bottle, they are life savers and money savers! I am always proud to tote around multiple reusable bags on my shopping trips, not only do some store give you a few cents off of your bill, but I am finding cuter ones every day and would love to add Viva la Vera to my growing collection (which consists of about three hahaha). Happy Earth Day everyone!
Using reusable bags when I shop & 1 hour of no electricity used.
By using non plastic bags like this one. ๐
I love reusable totes, especially Vera Bradley’s. I’ve bought some of theirs in the past and they really hold up. I take them to the grocery store, the library, to college, everywhere I go!
To celebrate Earth Day I am cleaning the house with organic materials and helping plant flowers — Love your Earth as you Love Yourself โค you only get 1 of each
We are planting a large garden in celebration!
I’ve been using reusable bags for gift bags in an effort to be more green. This week I used 3 Folkloric shopper totes for birthday gift bags – to me, a gift with a bonus ๐
I use my own bags when I grocery shop. My recycle bin is full every two weeks and that has resulted in only one thirteen-gallon bag of trash every two weeks. We bought more trees last fall and are planting them strategically in our yard to help reduce the cooling costs of our house.
What a great reusable bag!!! and so pretty too … Can’t wait to get one!
For Earth Day,I will continue to use recycle totes, and also continue to compost, and give back to the earth for what it provides us such as fruit, vegetables etc. I will also continue to mulch the grass and leaves and put back into the earth instead of filling the dumpsters with it. This provides for richer soil, to grow beautiful plants and produce, and the cycle can continue. Luv Vera Bradley!
Out enjoying the beautiful outside on this Earth Day! Such a pretty shopper tote would definitely encourage me to remember to use it!
I was planning to celebrate Earth Day by planting some flowers and greenery, but the weather isn’t cooperating. Instead, I’m going to to grocery store with my reusable bags to do some Easter grocery shopping!
In honor of earth day, I am beginning to collect reusable bags so that I can do all of my grocery shopping without using paper or plastic! This one would just add to my collection
Would love this, Love all my Vera!!!
My husband and I make breads and baked goods at home when we need it and in the quantity we need so that we don’t buy from the store and have to use plastic bags. We also use a compost pile for plants so that less stuff goes into the trash and more leftover food and other items are put back into use.
I used to think whats so great about Vera till my daughter took me shopping for vera and now I’m like everyone else “hooked on Vera” All the floral prints, and colors brighten my day and make you feel great while shopping. I get so many comments on my pocketbook. Also great bags to store personal items in ladies room (even makes you feel about them too) Just a thought…the mugs with covers would be great in masculin prints – my husband puts a plastic cover over his coffee in the morning while he reads the paper. Love the shopping bag!!! ๐
I bike to class everyday and use recycled totes when I go grocery shopping. My earth friendly habits have even grown on some. All of my roommates now shop with recycled totes too!
For Earth Day, I will be using my recyclable water container and cleaning up the garden at my home and at my church. What a cute way to be earth-friendly and reuse practical products! It is so important to be conscious of how we treat our planet so that we can sustain it and its beauty!
I am celebrating earth day by giving re-usable tote bags to 5 of my sorority sisters.
I am such a big fan of shopper totes! They last much longer than an old paper sack & I’m saving trees at the same time!
Our Earth Day in NC has brought the smell of rain!!! It’s quite relaxing. Planting a tree will have a wait but we’re going to celebrate by dropping off our recycled goods and shopping with the Vera reusable totes I own! I always get compliments at the check out!
I had plans to take my Preschool class for a walk around the neighborhood to clean up litter. Due to the weather, we will have to postpone it unti next week, but still plan on doing this.
*until
Using my cloth dipapers on my now 1yr old. ๐ Also going to Starbucks and getting free cup of tea! Bring a cup from home and get a cup of coffee or tea! Happy Earth Day!
I’m headed to buy flowers today!
I’m celebrating earth day by starting my own vegetable garden! I already use reusable totes all time and will continue to do so!
I would love to start carrying a reusable bag to the store!! A Vera Bradley one would make it even better!!
We are out of town for the Easter weekend and have asked the hotel to change our linens every other day. We are going shopping later and will use reusable bags that I keep in my car. Would love to have this bag to replace some that are worn out!
I use reusable bags to help the generations that follow us to a better and healther earth.
I am trying to be very mindful about recycling. My husband and I recycle cans, glass, paper etc… We also use the totes for our groceries. One of the most recent things we recycled were our kitchen cabinets. We remodeled our kitchen recently and instead of filling the landfill with the old cabinets we offered them to our nephew for his kitchen, which he used to remodel his.
Happy Earth Day! Would love to win!
As much as I would love to keep the tote, this is for my daughter Samantha. At only 12 years old, she had taught me the most about caring for Mother Earth. She lives Earth Day everyday through recycling, repurposing clothes, replanting gardens and advocating for animals. She shares and lives her passion through as Girl Scout Cadette. She is the biggest Vera Bradley fan and would use the tote to carry her Girl Scout project materials.
Our children are the best teachers!
I love earth day!! It’s also my BIRTHDAY! I love my reusable veggie bags!!! Thanks for the chance to win!!!
I love the shopping tote. To celebrate Earth Day we are buying local, carpooling, using recycled shopping bags and keeping the light usage at a minimum!
I recycle everything i can and i buy thing that help the enviroment, pick up trash off the ground around my neighbor hood ,and teach my children the ways so they can keep the earth clean too . happy earth ๐
I celebrate Earth day everyday by biking to class and using recycled totes when I go grocery shopping. My roommates have even caught on to! Maybe it’s the discount you get for every tote you check out with at the grocery store!
For Earth Day we help educate the elementary students at my son’s school. We give recycling tip, participate in recycling and class competitions. We collect printer ink cartridges, eye glasses, paper, plastic etc. In the cafeteria the students participates in a program giving unopened milk to a local charity.
I’m doing what I do all the time – using reusable bags for my grocery shopping and I’ll be taking all of my recyclables to the drop off point. If it stays sunny, I’ll go out and put my vegetable scraps and whatnot in the compost pile.
Just got a (fuschia topped) bobble water bottle–healthier for me and mother earth and they’re now buy 1 get 1 free on their website so I’m going back to shop for friends! Also, taking some things to goodwill today to be re-used by someone else. Will continue using my Trader Joes or baggu bags, proudly drive my hybrid mariner, turn water off while brushing my teeth, lights off when not in the room, unplug phone charger when not in use, etc… And, will try to be better about keeping my tires properly inflated to get better mileage!
wow that is beautiful.
My biggest contributions to Earth is using reusable shopping bags and taking my own coffee cups to coffeeshipts.
I’ve been using reusable shopping bags for a while now. Would love to have a Vera one! In honor of Earth Day we will begin planting our annuals for the Spring & Summer while mulching around our perinneals.
I NEED a shopper tote! it would be perfect for picking up grocery’s while I’m in college- and so eco-friendly too!
What better way to celebrate Earth Day than with my favorite pieces by Vera Bradley! WOOHOO!
I use reusable shopping bags.
Love this! Right now I have ugly shopping bags, but this would be perfect!
headed to the grocery and Target today with my reusable shopping bags! Also doing some closet cleaning to donate shoes and clothes to Goodwill for others to use.
We celebrate Earth Day by using our reusable shopping bags and making sure we are recycling every item we can that we are done with.
Happy Earth Day! My grandbabies and I would love to take it on trips to the beach to store and tote all of our toys! Unfortunately a trip to the beach is not in the forecast for at least another few days here though.
Too busy with other people’s husband’s, Terri?
I will be celebrating Earth Day by getting a new tree to plant in my yard and hanging out with my dear friend. ๐
My husband and I always shop with our reusable shopping bags … we keep them in our car so we always have them with us. They are all big and basic bags. although Viva la Vera is not my favorite pattern, I would still love to add it to our collection of eco-friendly shopping bags.
Happy Earth Day.
For earth day, I’m going to plant new things and use my recycle shopping totes when I go to the supermarket today. Every day should be treated like earth day.
Lisa
Love all my Vera bags, I always use reusable bags for all shopping trips. I will
spend Earth Day planting beautiful flowers in my yard, and tomato plants in the
garden.
I try to reuse every disposable bag we get if I don’t take my own bags. We compost garden and kitchen greens as well as recycle all our papers, junk mail , plastic bottle, glass and cardboard. We also use low flow devices in our bathrooms.
I have switched from using plastic water bottles to putting my water in cute reusable tumblers!
I love to pack my Vera Bradley reusable grocery bag full of goodies like cheese, crackers, wine, strawberries, and some sweets, and go on a picnic with my husband. He brings the blanket and I bring the treats!
Ok, I will finally get my mom to stop using her VERA bag (too classy overkill) at the grocery store. She insists on recycling but doesn’t want to give up on style. Kudos to Vera Bradley to make this happen!!!!!
I never leave home without my re-usable bags. All of that plastic in the world filling our oceans and killing wildlife! I like the German model of having to pay if you want a bag. This Vera Bradley bag is so pretty and a fashionable nudge of earth friendliness for those those who are less than enthusiastic about using re-usable bags.
I carpool to work every day, have recycled for years, and use reusable bags whenever possible. Happy Earth Day everyone.
Loveee the reusable totes! So cute and functional
I celebrated Earth day with my 3rd grade class by recycling items this week and I took their collected items to the recycling center. We also made craft items out of recycled items.
I celebrate earth day by making sure that everyone in my family is participating in recycling!! We use recyclable bags for grocery shopping and when we use things that aren’t recyclable we make sure that they are disposed of properly!!
Would be proud to show off the new shopping bag. It’s the cutest one I’ve seen.
I borrow from the library. I can get books, dvds, and magazines… the best part is there’s no trash and it’s FREE! We do numerous other things but that’s the one I enjoy the most.
I am celerbrating Earth Day by recycling all the newspapers I have laying around, by changing the light bulbs to the energy saving ones, and by recycling the plastic grocery bags.
In honor of Earth Day (and every day for that matter) I am using all reusable containers for my food and drink. I planted tomato plants at home, and planted trees with my university! I am a green individual on a daily basis! Recycle paper, plastic, glass, etc.!
I’m thinking about heading to starbucks for free coffee in your reusable mug today! If we all brought our own mugs to starbucks everyday, think of how much we could save on waste! Plus- Starbucks is already a very “green” company! Happy Earth Day!
For me, Earth Day is everyday! Today I will be celebrating with my campus by making notebooks out of reclaimed paper and cardboard to be reused.
Happy Happy Earth Day….I LOVE LOVE LOVE this shopping bag…for Earth Day and each and everyday I try to use shopping bags for my groceries and I stopped getting my morning coffee and use a travel mug….I love Mother Earth….Shop Shop Shop Vera Bradley……
Started our pond pump and already have 5 tadpoles!! ๐
We planted three emerald greens and one treeling spruce that we nurtured all winter in a little pot in the kitchen! We took our holiday topiary tree (live) and planted that too!! Now I have room for flowers again at the front entrance.
…Next mission- start a treeling from a broken birch tree branch we found in the yard.
To celebrate Earth Day and my day off from classes I’m spending some much needed time with my best friend! Being college students and both working full time jobs does not leave much time to get together, so I’m glad we’ve got the day together. It’s such a beautiful day outside!
i recycle my cans plastic and newspapers/magazines. i also use my plastic shopping bags over and over again i also reduce the amount of the shamppo bottles i will buy i will buy one big one instead of 4 little ones.
I started a recycling center at work… I try to be Green everyday!
I use reusable shopping bags every time I shop and would LOVE to have a reusable Vera bradley along with me!
This Earth Day we are celebrating with our new car!! And enjoying getting 40mpg! This bag would look great with my other Vera market bag totes I have from last year!!
To celebrate earthday I’m only purchasing items with biodegradable packing and reusing my shopping bags. Love the bag.
Would love to see beautiful design with butterfies.
I’m using more reusable items to celebrate Earth Day!! I love Vera Bradley and I would love to have this reusable tote bag!! Too cute!
I’ll be doing what I always do – using reusable bags for grocery shopping, and taking out all of our recyclables to the drop off point. If it stays nice out, I’ll go bury our vegetable scraps in the compost pile.
my knitting needs a bag JUST LIKE THIS ONE! LOVE IT.
Need to use reuseable bags more, so would love to win one ๐
To celebrate Earth Day, I am going to continue to use only reusable shopping bags and spend time outside getting my garden ready for spring!
To celebrate earth day, we always ride our bikes everywhere (we don’t use cars)We plant some flowers or food that can grow in the garden and we recycle everything we can find that can be recycled. HAPPY EARTH DAY ๐
EVERYDAY is EARTH DAY at our house! We reuse, recycle, compost, and organically garden. We use natural household cleaners and buy organic whenever possible. We also try to buy flour, spices, and other food items from the bulk section of our grocery store, to cut down on all the packaging waste. We have special zip-loc bags that we have written the bulk item code on and reuse them each time we need more of that item.
So, on this Earth Day we will continue to be aware of how the things we do daily affect our beloved earth!
i am obsessed with reusable bags!
We always use your own bags to shop.
Happy Earth Day! Today I am going to try harder than normally to convince my friends and family to stop using water bottles, stop using paper plates and start using reusable shopping totes.
I packed all of my things in reusable totes to go home for the weekend and I think the bag is an excellent idea!
I have the Vera shopping tote Sitting in a Tree filled with both new and old greeting cards, scrapbooking paper, stickers, and odds and ends of fabric and ribbon hanging in my room. Why kill another tree, when after doing projects there are always plenty of scraps of paper left? The bag makes it so easy for me to easily find these things when I need them and it also serves as a work of art I enjoy daily! It brings a bit of nature into my environment while protecting nature outside.
I use reusable shopping bags. If I get plastic bags, I take them to be recycled.
Happy Earth Day!
To celebrate earth day, we always ride our bikes everywhere (we don’t use cars)We plant some flowers or food that can grow in the garden and we recycle everything we can find that can be recycled. HAPPY EARTH DAY ๐ Thanx 4 the chance 2 win!!!
I have and will become more dilligent bringing my own reusable bags for grocery’s. No more plastic for me. This beautiful bag would be a good motiviator.
In my Environmental class we are each planting a Flower that is perennial around the school to show our appreciation for the earth on earth day!
Fed the birds and enjoyed seeing the brown thrasher for the first time this season.
This is awesome! You never can have too many bags. I have learned that when going into a store to always take one more bag than I think I will need.
For Earth Day our family plans to spend the day enjoying nature and hiking.
I am gathering all of my no longer used electronics to bring to a local recycling event.
i nad a near fatal brain anurysim and my 36 year old daughter who lived over 7 hours away quit her state job and moved in to take care of me. Tragically, she died in my arms from an unknown blood clot just four days after she moved in. but she left behind a legacy. she strongly believed in recycled and taughtme to do it. i never buy bottled water, never use plastic grocery bags, separate trash. she gave me two reusable bags and i have worn them out. i use them for everything from grocery shopping to takinaking quilt pieces with me to the hospital to work on.g quilting with me to the shopital. i recycle everything clothithese are the most beautiful bags i love everything vera. how much do these bags sell for.
Recycling is my way of life! How delightful to use colorful reusable shopping bags to inspired other to do the same!
planting some pine tree seedlings on our back lot, then off to the greenhouse to check out the new plants for gardening.
Trying to recycle and buy used as much as possible. Cute tote would encourage me to do away with even paper grocery bags!
Not just for Earth day, but everyday I carpool with friends to get to and from class or the library. I think it is silly when you have a few people you know living right by you and don’t use that advantage. My mom and I have Barnes & nobles and grocery store totes so we’ve gladly said goodbye to plastic and paper. Also, recently my sorority did a huge state park clean up- it was amazing to see what one can find and to see the carelessness of people with their liter. Don’t just worry about the Earth today, but every day ๐
We are getting free bags of Organic compost from Whole Foods to start our garden!
For Earth Day I am not driving anywhere, instead I am taking public transportation. I am also doing my best to inform people on what they can do to make a difference! With the way our Earth is headed due to global climate change, it is important now, more than ever, to reduce CO2 emissions. Carpool, ride your bike, or take public transportation! And of course, recycle!
I use recycled bags all the time. So much that my friends give them to me. I now have about 20 including 2 Vera Bradley bags from a couple of years ago.
I will be celebrating Earth Day by cleaning out closets and donating to the thrift stores to recycle my extras!
Saving the Earth in style….this is the cutest tote ever!
I sell and use Tupperware, the ultimate “green” product.
I Love Vera, and what better way to celebrate Earth day, than to go shopping with stylish Vera Bag. Today I will be thanking God for all the blessings He has given us on this earth, and praying for creative ways to make this planet a safer and healthier place to live.
I love using my reusable totes, but they’re getting worn. I would love a new Vera one and the cuter the better!!!
What could be better!!! Vera Bradley and helping with the enviroment.
The best of THE BEST.
Happy Earth Day!! I truly consider every day to be “earth day” with all the choices I make. Part of the reason I choose Vera Bradley purses is that they are made of fabric and can be cleaned and if necessary repaired and therefore last longer.
Thanks for the chance to win the tote! I have a shopper tote in Sittin’ in a Tree and Twirly Birds Pink and I use then A LOT!! They are very sturdy and better than many of my reusable totes.
What a great way to celebrate Earth Day!!! i just love my Vera Bradley and to help the Earth is even better. i use my resuable shopping bags as often as possible.
Saving plastic bottles for cash on vacation is our goal
I love recycled bags and makes bringing in the groceries much easier!
Not only do I use recycled bags to grocery shop, my students started trees from seeds and planted them in a burned out portion of a ridge line in our area. We talked about how we need to give back to the earth to preserve it for future generations. Reduce, reuse, recycle. The kids also see me using a travel mug for my coffee everyday and a recycled water bottle instead of purchasing bottled water.
I love the Earth Day bag!
To celebrate Earth Day we are planting a small vegetable garden to make our own salsa.
We also made an Easter craft using paper towel and toilet paper rolls.
i celebrated earth day by teaching little kids how to help the planet in my preschool class.. and this bag is soo cute!
I LOVE this bag!!!!
As I already have a few reusable totes, I would love to have a stylish one for the grocery store. No one can make them as pretty as Vera Bradley.
I just love using reusable bags, and this one is perfect for spring!
Keeping shopping bags and reusable frozen food bags in my car means I’m ready to shop any time; this is also one of the reasons that my husband refers to me as his “bag lady”.
I also daily use a refillable water bottle and recycle as many items as I can; also reuse cereal box liners for use as food cover in the microwave; one of my favorites is to make plastics/paper “new again” in kids crafts. ๐
Thank you Vera Bradley for going to the front of the line with this beautiful, eco friendly design. No more hiding the reusable bags in the cart until checkout. This one is to carried proudly.
Love the reusable bags – my whole family is into “going green”!
I am using a non-disposable tea cup!
I am celebrating Earth Day by using a Zipcar this evening, drinking from my reusable coffee mug, carpooling and using less water. I use reusable totes whenever I go to the store, the brighter the better! Oh, and I am headed to the Re-use store to get pre-owned refillable Easter eggs.
I sell and use Tupperware, the ultimate “green” product
What better way to help the Earth than to use such a wonderfully fashionable recyclable bag?!?! Love it!
I am recycling & reusing my old plastic grocery bags for my daughter’s 1st Easter Egg hunt this weekend!! Hopefully next year she can use her new Viva la Vera shopper tote! ๐
Happy Earth Day & Happy Easter!!
I’m currently working on a PhD in the Environment – I practice Earth Day every day! ๐
LOVE this! I would use it very time I go shopping! Spread the word…Vera goes GREEN!
Started our pond pump and already have 5 tadpoles!! ๐
We planted three emerald greens and one treeling spruce that we nurtured all winter in a little pot in the kitchen! We took our holiday topiary tree (live) and planted that too!! Now I have room for flowers again at the front entrance. …Next mission- start a treeling from a broken birch tree branch we found in the yard.
I support celebrating Earth day: Everyday. We love our planet and should strive for conserving it’s resources. Using reusable bags for grocery, and other shopping is not only environment friendly but looks good too!
Happy Earth Day! I’m celebrating by drinking coffee out of my reusable mug like usual as well as water, walking to the gym instead of driving and using public transportation. I cherish my Mother Earth! Love the Vera tote.
Happy Earth Day to all! I’ll be recycling today and everyday…
I use my reusable bags to carry the sliced oranges to my son’s hockey games. The boys all know the oranges have arrived when I come in with the reusable bag! I would use this bag for that and also for shopping for groceries and other items. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle – makes for a better Earth everyday!
I plan on celebrating Earth Day by planting herbs with my Granddaughter. Being a Native American, I will explain to her our responsibility, as a people, to protect Mother Earth for all that She gives us.
I use reusable shopping bags, but have no Vera! Would love to have one, so cute and good for the environment too!
I am celebrating Earth Day by opening my windows and back door to run the A/C less, use less power and enjoy the beautiful day! P.s. and feed the ducks in the backyard!
I have re-useable bags (but none as cute as yours) and try to remember to use them when I go shopping – sometimes I’m better than others!
And I bring my own re-useable cup to the coffee shop.
Thanks for the chance to win!
Trying to go as long as possible without turning the AC on! Spring’s the perfect time of year to leave the windows open and enjoy the breeze (all while ignoring those pesky allergies, of course!).
Because I have off work, I am spending a relaxing day at home. Saving the Earth with a few less gallons of fuel being used, gathering recyclable materials for drop off at the local collection areas, and using my reusable cup as I look for Earth Day deals on-line.
This year for earth day I’m doing my spring cleaning with all natural products and reusable cleaning rags! Im also skipping my weekly trip to the coffee shop and walking to where I need to go today instead of driving ๐ happy earth day!!
Perfect shopper tote, hope i win.
I use recycled totes for my grocery bags-but none are as lovely as the Vera tote! I’d love to be stylish while I care for the environment!
Today I will only use and purchase itmes with biodegradable packing and I will reusuing my shopping bags. Love the Bag.
Cute Bag! I love my reusable bags for trips to the library and for carrying things I need for the day at work. We have also switched the light fixtures and light bulbs in our home to energy efficient ones. I stopped buying bottled water and now use washable take along mugs.
Great looking reusable bag. I use reusable bags all of the time at the grocery, etc. and reusable water bottle for commuting.
I rode my bike to work toady instead of driving, but only after unplugging all non-essential appliances.
I’m celebrating earthday with my reuable coffe mug and my shopping bags!
What a win win to be fashionable and environmentally concious!
I’ve been using reusable bags for all of my shopping for a while now. These bags are not just for the supermarket! I take them to the mall and all around town. I’ve found that the more I use reusalble bags, the more local merchants and other shoppers appreciate my efforts! I would love to sport that beautiful Viva La Vera Shopping Tote all around town and share with others how much Vera Bradley is doing to our workld, too!!
Happy Earth Day everyone! Trying to complete some yard work before the rain comes. Will go shopping today and use my recycle bags whenever possible. We recycle all our cans, cardboard and plastic bottles daily.
My children and I will celebrate Earth Day by making crafts using recycled materials.
I already use reusable bags when grocery shopping, but I can do a better job with using them for errands too, and I will start that today. We also brew our own coffee daily, use reusable water bottles, and I just saw one made by brita with a filter in it, so you can fill it anywhere and you water will taste great! The list goes on, we do a pretty good job in our household, but there is always room for improvement. Every little bit counts, today, we will be sure to do our part. We love our Earth!
For Earth Day we embraced one of the lines in our Girl Scout law, which is:
“Make the world a better place”
We celebrated the community wide litter pick up that our troop participated in where they cleaned up garbage and debris around their school. Then we shared how proud we are of the colorful plants that they planted at the entrance of the school for all the kids to enjoy. Celebrating Earth Day is teaching kids to be earth conscious every day, in their own ways, and then coming together with their community to make the world a better place. My troop sure does stay active and likes to get dirty, but make no mistake- they’re all little lovelies who would be smitten w these bags!
Love the tote and will use it in place of grocery bags when doing my shopping. I also try to pick up other peoples trash when out on walks, etc.
The Viva la Vera shopping bag would be a great addition to my other shopping bags! I never leave home without them in my trunk for the spur of the moment shopping trip!
Starting a compost pile!
What a beautiful bag! Somehow I think this one will be easier to remember to bring than all my others!!! Happy Earth Day!
We are actually planting a tree and some flowers…Happy Earth Day!
I went to the beach with friends and participated in a huge trash clean up!
This Earth Day – I am celebrating by going for a nice long walk, and enjoying the beautiful Earth we live on!
Vera Bradley has enlivened our lives with fabulous colors and prints.
We all need more positive actions, things and people in our Lives.
Vera certainly adds to that life enhancing possibility.
On this beautiful Earth Day, I’m planting a lilac tree in honor of 3 loved ones who all passed away in Spring. I will also be taking an extra bag with me on my daily walk to the park, to pick up every piece of litter I see.
For earth day I am doing a special day out, getting coffee in my re-useable mug, and then making cupcakes decorated like globes!
I love using recyclable grocery bags. They are so sturdy. No more broken bags.
Love it! I love shopping bags and use them regularly.
I LOVE this Vera bag. We live in a very small apartment, but will grow a few veggies this year. One way we stay “green” is by keeping our utility bills low and using reusable bags for groceries. This bag makes a beautiful statement regarding Earth Day and helping our environment.
Instead of printing out coupons that get emailed to me, I am using my droid phone for the cashier to scan. Still get the money savings but also cutting down on wasted paper ๐
I’m celebrating Earth Day by going for a long walk and enjoying our beautiful Earth!
I’m celebrating earth day by planting a few small trees in my backyard in memory of my father and grandparents!
I would have never believed that a “Vera Material Bag” would be such a hot item, and I love all of mine. My teenage great-granddaughter had to teach me about recycling and “Vera” Absolutely great job, keep them coming, they are prittier than the one before and so on. Thank you. Pat
We aren’t doing anything particularly special for Earth Day, but we try to make a small difference every day. Recycling at home, using shopping bags, reusing what we can. It adds up!
Every day is Earth Day at our house! We recycle, compost and use reusable tote bags, and wash them as needed. Love the tote!!!!!
This earth is God’s precious gift to us and it is important to care for that gift. At my home, we recycle everything……for us, every day is Earth Day. I have canvas totes in my car that I use whenever I go shopping and I proudly use them. To use a Vera Bradley tote when I shop – I can’t think of a nicer and more colorful way to celebrate recycling!
Now that’s a stylin’ bag. What girl wouldn’t love to take THAT to the grocery store?! Love it ๐ Since the weather isn’t cooperating with me to work outside today, I am going to clean out my closets and basement and take what we can’t fit into anymore or what we aren’t using anymore to my church’s local community outreach program.
Happy Earth Day! Cute bag–as usual!
We recycle at home and at my middle school with Green Pieces Recycling. They do bi-monthly pickups and provide the storage bins. No sorting, just load the stuff to be recycled into the bins. Recycling is easy and addictive. We are starting a recycling program at the elementary school too soon. I use reuseable shopping bags for toting schoolwork, weekend getaways, packing a lunch, and of course – shopping! We are using the newer more efficient light bulbs. We take still serviceable items we no longer need to Goodwill or other local resell organizations. We recycle toner and ink cartridges at both work and home. We are considering container gardening and composting. Go Green!!
We love to spend Earth Day outside playing! It’s a great way to honor our planet!
Ugly Mug Day today at the office. Everyone is encouraged to bring a REUSABLE mug…we set up a coffee bar, flavored coffees and creamers..prize for Ugliest Mug!
I’m celebrating earth day by teaching my son about composting. He thinks it’s so cool ๐
We recycle everyday. My kids, 9 and 6, even remind us of things that need to be recycled. If we are out for a walk or riding
our bikes and they see a bottle or paper they stop and pick it up and put it in the bag we carry to put in our bin back at the house.
they have even tried to get the grandparents in the action.
Happy Earth Day everyone ๐ Today I am celebrating our planet by leaving my hair all natural so that I don’t use my blow dryer or hair spray, recycling my weekly cans, not taking out my car and riding my bicycle instead and to do all of my paper work, I am using a pen and notebook made out of cardboard that I just bought at Staples! I hope you all have a lovely Earth Day.
P.S. The Vera reusable tote is adorable!
To celebrate Earth Day, my family and I participate in recycling and dispose trash responsibly when cleaning! This shoppers bag would be a GORGEOUS way to celebrate Earth Day now and forevermore! Great way to spread awareness VERA! ๐
Another awesome product from Vera Bradley! I LOVE it!!!
I have all the shoppers that Vera has come out with except this one. Can’t seem to find it in our stores. I use my shopper bags for grocery’s and when I go to market. I love Vera anything!!!!
Celebrating Earth Day along with Good Friday…
Using earth friendly acessories today!
Love my reusable shopping totes.
Love the bag. My children wanted me to write that we are recycling the empty paper towel rolls as well as the empty toilet paper rolls to use for their gerbil Abbey to chew on in her cage so she doesn’t chew the cage. They have everyone saving them.
We celebrate Earth Day every day at our house! We recycle, reuse, compost, shop with our own bags(and wash as needed!). Love the bag!
To celebrate Earth DAy, my little one is watching CAptian Planet while I get ready for work. We use our Vera reusable shopping totes for everything. They are super handy and comfortable to carry! Not to mention stylish! Purchased several at the outlet sale to give to friends. Saving the Earth, one Vera tote to one friend at a time!
Earth day should be acknowledged everyday. However, each April 22, something is planted in my surroundings (flowers, a tree, garden seeds). My husband and I consistently recycle and reuse, create animal habitats on our property, feed animals during cold weather, have trees that are indigenous to our region, flowers that attract butterflies and hummingbirds, and are careful to wisely use resources inside the home. We also adopted two stray cats that love their home. When we shop, we take reusable bags, buy locally, and cook and bake from scatch. I have also passed these traits to my daughter.
Vera Reusable Tote!! I use my reusable totes ALL of the Time! I would LOVE to have one of these!! I’m addicted to VERA!!!!! What a great way to celebrate Earth Day!!!
I want it!
I love Vera Bradley and would absolutely love to carry an Earth bag tote around my world with my family on our awesome adventures!
Stopping by Sbux for some free earth day coffee ๐
Recycling as much as I can from my house today
For Easter at my house this is what I do for the grand-kids; I will hide the Easter candy all over the house and give the kids (3) each one of my VERA BRADLEY totes, they will search in an Easter hunt and fill the bags with all the candies and gifts that the Easter Bunny dropped behind…..this for all of us is a lot of fun, there are some items that even are specified for that child….like jump-ropes and bubbles… I will even wrap up items that they have not used in a while and recycle those.
Used a travel mug for coffee this morning and will use reusable bags at the store this weekend. I always use a tumbler with straw for water all day long at my desk. No plastic cups for me!
I can ALWAYS use a new tote bag!! This one is great!!
Thank you for these stylish grocery bags! We get lots of compliments and I would love to add another one to my collection. โค
Love this bag! Would love to carry it and use it when grocery shopping.
My 3 year old daughter and I recycle all the time. From putting glass and plastic in the correct containers … to recycling junk mail … and even letting Mother Nature recycle for us by composting our food scraps. Happy Earth Day!
Happy Earth Day! We will be recycling and using our reusable grocery bags.
Since it’s raining, we’re indoors but that didn’t stop my family from celebrating Earth Day! This year, my kids (son, 5 and daughter, 3) gathered recyclables that we would normally throw into our recycling bin and came up with beautiful designs that they painted and decorated.
My son made an interesting fishing boat and even took a net bag, used for onions, rolled it up and shoved it in an empty toilet paper roll. He told me when the fishermen want to catch fish, they just pull the net and drop it into the water. Very creative!
My daughter painted a paper plate blue and glued on green cutouts from colored boxes. She made โearthโ.
It’s fun celebrating Earth Day with kids!
For earthday I sent my daughter (a college student) her own reusable shopping bag. It’s not as cute as Vera’s ๐
We’re going to buy reusable water bottles today for use at school, dance and all our outdoor adventures this summer.
Happy Earth Day Vera fans! Today in New Jersey, we’ll be choosing our seeds and working on our garden with the kiddos.
Stopping at Sbux for some free earth day coffee ๐
Love it! I love Vera, just received 4 more items I ordered. Can’t get enough of it! I love these bags for when we go on vacation or shopping, instead of getting all kinds of bags… I just use a tote.
I’m making Easter baskets with refillable water bottles for my nieces & nephew. The reusable tote is so pretty. I try to keep a bag in my car to save on plastic.
For almost a year now, I have been using a reusable insulated tote for my groceries and would really like to have the Viva la Vera Shopper Tote to use also. In this pattern, I currently own the Viva la Vera lunch bag and a tote. I love the pattern. It would be a great planet-friendly addition to add to my collection.
Besides recycling, I use a composter to return everything to the garden.
I use my reusable Vera bag all the time! I love that they can carry groceries and more, without the bag falling apart. For Earth day my students have been learning songs about trees and plants, and they have been doing a great job at taking in the lessons of not using the earth as our destruction site. I can’t wait to check out this tote in person and use it to carry things to school! โค
I never use the regular grocery bags, so this would be a great addition to my collection. As well to my Vera Bradley collection!! Thank you
On this Earth Day I’m stopping to admire how the trees and plants are coming a live. Unfortunately it’s raining but I’ll put on rain gear, take an umbrella and just stroll the neighborhood. Happy Earth Day…….
I’m celebrating Earth day by doing some spring cleaning and recycling ๐
I think if we had a Vera Bradley tote bag, then my daughter would never ask for a plastic bag again when shopping!
We donate a usable items and recycle all of our trash.
To celebrate Earth Day, Im visiting my sister in Texas!
I would love to explore my world with a Vera Bradley Earth Bag tote on my shoulder!
I have been celebrating Earth Day for YEARS. I recycle, don’t liter, and use reusable bags (I have some from the 80’s that I still use – they’re canvas). I don’t buy items with lots of packaging and I encourage people to use at least one canvas bag every time you shop – grocery or at the mall. I just wish people realized how bad cigarettes are for Mother Earth. Happy Earth Day!!!
Another awesome product from Vera Bradley! I love It! Of course … I love anything Vera!!!
This year we are starting to use cloth napkins!
This tote will be for my 12 year old daughter, Samatha. She had taught me the most about caring fo our planet. She recycles, repurposes clothes, replant gardens and reuses (water bottles, totes, etc.)to reduce waste regularly. Through Girl Scouts she shares her passion and lives Earth Day every day!
Celebrating Earth Day by using reuseable mugs and bags!
Just finished doing a whole lot of weeding outside with my husband in our flower beds. We also replanted some of our seedlings to other areas in the yard to help beautify the areas lacking in color and plants. It is SO EASY to use some of the existing perennials to add color elsewhere. Have a GREAT EARTH DAY!!!!
I will celebrate Earth Day by NOT driving to my local supermarket. I will walk the 2 miles and bring my canvas tote for my purchases. I actively recyle every day. I also use a reuseable coffee mug daily. I would love the Vera Bradley shopping tote for my shopping trips.
I would definitely remember to use this all the time if I was lucky enough to have one of my own!
I love Earth Day!! I enjoy earth day everyday – recyle daily, buy fresh furits and veggies with reuseable bags, wash clothes in cold water and hang out to dry, open up the windows for fresh air.
planted zinnias, butterfly bushes, cleaned up planting table added mulch to the flower beds. I enjoy all my vera fabircs & styles!
I ONLY use the reusable shopper totes and my Vera Bradley ones are my
favorites. I get lots of comments while in the stores. I LOVE the new design! Also, I have been recycling since before it was fashionable to do- my kids and I used to take our newspapers to a recycling station!
Today, I’ll be working on the site plan for our neighborhood playground, and arguing to save THREE trees! ๐
We celebrate Earth Day everyday. We recycle almost everything…none recyclable trash is almost nil…Gardne Composting takes the vegetable peelings and whatever else that is possible. Our trash provider makes things easier in that they do not have to be separated.
Love the bag…please let me win.
I’m going to do a whole bunch of gardening:)
Not only am I using reusable travel mugs, lunch bags, and shopper bags, but, to celebrate Earth Day, I walked the couple miles to work today just to enjoy the environment that I am blessed to have around me. Just goes to show, you don’t have to bend over backwards to celebrate the Earth!
I re-use all my Vera!! They ate rotated through the year. I recycle plastic bags. I have a re-usable cup. Paper bags are great for letting kids scrapbook on! We recycle our cans, paper and plastics. We even compost!!
I approve of any justification for celebrating the joys of Vera! LOVE IT! I will be celebrating Earth Day by going to the ballpark tonight where the promotion is a team logo cloth coffee collar! Yay for reusable products! ๐
This is sooooo cute! I could definitely use one!
Happy Earth Day! I would love to carry this beautiful re-usable tote!
We are celebrating Earth Day by planting herbs. Heading to the store to get some seeds (great project for the kids), and then we can enjoy them all summer long. Would love the tote to assist with my weekly shopping errands. So much prettier than the store bags I use.
Love my reusable shopping bag…so much bigger and more durable than grocery bags:) Also great for picnic lunches, days at the beach and days at the ballpark!
I celebrate Earth Day every day by using re-usable shopping bags at the grocery store and I carry a fold-up one in my purse to use in retail shops. I use energy efficient light bulbs at home, and I recycle everything!
We love to use the re-usable bags when shopping.
Happy Earth Day!
I believe the best way to celebrate our planet is by setting a good example for my children. We recycle, we plant trees, and we make an effort to celebrate Earth Day every day.
For earth day I am starting my balcony garden since I live on the upper floor of my apartment complex. Strawberries, tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers. Can’t wait to eat the produce this summer!
I will be planting a tree with my 2 children (my daughter is 3 & my son is 2).
We are celebrating earth day today by reusing paper set aside to recycle. My three-year-old is using the backs to color and practice writing her ABCs.
Love the tote! We recycle everyday and use reusable shopping bags when we shop.
I’m a teacher and I always have my students plant seeds! If weather permits we plant a small tree in the community!
I am planting flowers today to celebrate Earth Day ;0)
I love these bags! They are the best for grocery shopping =)
We homeschool and use library books as our readers instead of buying more and utilize the library when we can. We also consign or give away items we aren’t using anymore families that can. We also shop with our reusable shopping bags and no matter what store it is we are using even the competitors depending on the deals of the week. We have five in our family and only wash when needed.
I will be walking to work today, luckily I don’t live too far from my work… why drive when you can walk? ๐ Happy Good Friday everyone!
I do cloth diapering for my twin boys ๐
I love the bags they are great for the grocerys they are the best quality bags reduce reuse
I am Celebrate Earth Day today by taking Public Transportation into work and not driving my car at all today.
LOVE the new tote!!
Not just today, but for years now I’ve been packing my daughter’s school lunches in reusable containers and steel water bottles.
We also stopped subscribing to the weekly news paper; I really only enjoyed the Sunday addition, because of the coupons and the comics. Now I get my coupons and comics on line.
Now if I could just remember to get the reusable bags from the car BEFORE I go into the store!
We always use reuseable totes when we go shopping. We are going to Lowe’s to get our tree to plant in observance of Earth day! Love my Vera bags! Love the new patterns! ๐
Love this bag! Kids don’t have school and hubby doesn’t have to work due to Good Friday, so we have lots of fun things planned. Dying easter eggs, baking cookies, and picking out a new tree to plant in our yard. Oh, and swinging by Starbucks too. ๐
I have fallen in love with “Earth” bags and especially VB ones! I use one to take my needed items to work and use a different one every day! Wherever I go, I have one with me as they are so versatile. There is nothing more “fun” than using a VB bag!
To celebrate earth day, I’m using reusable water bottles and a tote for all shopping!
Love the bag … definitely will use it.
In honor of Earth Day my 9 year old son recycled both Popsicle sticks and Aluminum Soup Cans. He made pen/pencil holders out of them by gluing the sticks to the cans then coloring them! He was excited to help save the planet and he gets credit in his cub scout pack for this project!
I love the Vera Shopper Tote in Viva la Vera.
We have been cleaning up the road around out house….people throw a lot of trash out their windows as they drive by. Love the new bag!!!
Heading out to the grocery store with reusable bags, but they’re definitely not as cute as the Vera ones!
I LIVE to reduce, reuse, and recycle! I believe that every day is Earth day and that everyone should to their part to pitch in and recycle. I view every day as Earth day and do my part to reduce, reuse, and recycle. I also believe in “going green” and conserve water and car pool! I am an avid recycler and am involved in organizations to recycle. I am obsessed with recycling and go to extreme lengths to do so. I have even installed recycling bins in all my friends and families places of living.
Love the bag. Would make a gloomy day so much brighter. I want it!
My three boys and I recycle everything possible! If my husband or I forget, they are quick to remind us.
Taking the train instead of driving to visit my daughter at college!! Happy Earth Day everyone!
I love earth…especially when it is a nice day in the Northeast and you can get outside to help make our country beautiful. I often use reusable products to help cut down in the items that need thrown away. Carrying items in reusable bags is just one of the great ways to give back to our Earth.
Just went to Starbucks with my reusable water jug and got a free tea! A VLV shopping tote would make this the best Earth Day ever! ๐
Using reusable bags for shopping is one of the ways I like to “go green”.
Plant a tree
I love using my reusable shopping bags in honor of earth day day and celebrate every day. I feel so much better about the enviromental impact as well as they are much more durable than plastic bags. I’d love a vera bradley shopping tote to supplement my generic shopping bags I use regularly.
I would love to win!
Cute, cute bag! We have been using reusable shopping bags for years, I would love to win this one! Today is also Good Friday – and tomorrow I will be making a carrot cake for Easter. In honor of earth day, I will make doubly sure the carrot peelings, egg shells, etc, get added to the garden/compost.
Technically I’m celebrating Good Friday today rather than Earth day. But we are certainly remembering God’s creation of this beautiful Earth, of which we have been made stewards. We should reduce, reuse and recycle whenever possible to care for god’s green earth.
We always recycle plastic, pape and cans. Use resuable shopping bags.
Today and tomorrow we are cleaning out closets, garage and basement.
I use reusable shopping bags, and purchase items with environmental friendly packaging.
One way we are helping – picking up any trash we see when we are walking our puppy. We bring a brown paper grocery sack for pick ups each time we take the dog for a walk. Recyclables go into our recycle bin once we get home, trash goes into the trashcan. One of my twin 11 year old daughters got our entire family started on this task.
Every day is Earth Day to me. I leave my shopping totes in my car, so that wherever and whenever I shop, I always have them to use. I recycle at home and work and feel too guilty to slack off. The Vera Bradley would be a lovely addition, one to display proudly.
I LOVE reusable bags, especially ones as pretty as this one!
Heading to do my grocery shopping with reusable bags. But they’re definitely not as cute as the Vera ones!
I have two VB totes that I take everywhere with me. Doing my part for Earth Day! Every day should be Earth Day.
This Earth Day. I coordinated over 130 volunteers to go into our local community in over 4 towns and we cleaned, repaired, repainted and beautified parks, town commons and playgrounds to make it a safe, happy, and beautiful for families and neighbors to play and enjoy!
Earth Day happens to be the birthday of three of the most influential people in my life – my mother, my maternal grandfather, and my dearest and oldest friend. April 22nd is a day where I celebrate the lives of these wonderfully, amazing people and the connection we all share with the Earth. When planning out their birthday presents I try to always make sure their gifts are both useful and eco-friendly, and I always use recycled wrapping papers and gift bags – some being saved from gifts I had been given in the past, other being printed on recycled paper I had bought recently – and they are almost always topped with a recycled bow as well. I guess in a way, my ingrained tendency toward recycling and reusing is my way of celebrating Earth Day, every day.
I love my Vera Shopping bags. I always get looks of envy when packing my groceries in them. A new one would be great!!!
I am buying reusable bags and from now on ..atleast half of the time..i will be using them at the grocery stores! (still need a couple paper bags for various projects, etc I use them for).
I always use reusable bags and today I will be doing a lot of recycling of products. I love taking special care of our Earth!
I ride my bike with the trailer on the back to the store. I put my daughter in the rtrailer and pack the rest of it with groceries. Not only do i not use the car, but I also get a good workout at the same time! ๐ Love our planet ๐
I’m love using reusable grocery bags not only does it save the earth but most stores will credit you for using them. I also use reusable diapers for my baby boy. Reusing good for the earth it is often a lot easier on your pockets ๐
For Earth Day I switched to re-usable drink cups in my sewing area. My family has been using reusable shopping bags since last Earth Day.
In honor of earth day, we are taking all our plastic bags and plastic bottles, cans, and glass bottles for recycling. Not having curbside recycling available where we live makes it harder to recycle, but we still try to do our best!
My daughter is a teacher and I think it would be the cutest bag for her to take to school! Not only is it cute, but it can be used for many purposes.
I use these bags several times a week. I even use my Super Tote and Vera bags when I shop. They hold tons of stuff, wash really well and look great!
Today, I used my reusable coffee mug when I went to the coffee shop before work to get my morning coffee. However, we recycle everything, every day is Earth Day. I also carry canvas totes in my car that I use whenever I go shopping. Every little bit helps our landfills.
Happy Earth Day!! ๐
To celebrate earth day i am going to help my mom by planting vegetables in her garden, every year we plant vegetables and sell them to our neighborhood, its so much fun. I would love the earth tote! happy earth day! โค ๐
i love the bag so much that i got two ๐
I remember the first Earth Day–I organized a cleanup of the train tracks in my neighborhood. Now, I’ve diversified a bit–we recycle, I group my errands to save gas, and I “free cycle” (check out this great organization online, http://www.freecycle.org). Having this great reusable bag would be one more way to keep our planet green for another generation.
To celebrate Earth Day, I will be washing cloth diapers for my two young boys. We try to use them as much as possible.
Using my Reusable bags at the market. Hubby has already gone and picked up our free tree at Lowes!! i WOULD LOVE TO WIN THIS BAG!
I’m celebrating earth day by taking my sisters on a long nature walk this afternoon!
I love these shopper totes!!
I have been taking shorter showers and instead of waiting for the water to get warm, just getting in.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!
Celebrate Earth Day!
To help save the earth and reduce my carbon footprint, I have stopped buying bottles of water and using reusable water bottles and filling from the tap. We have parked our SUV and are walking anywhere we can, not only helping save the environment, but also increasing our exercise. And we have replaced our furnace, hot water heater and washer with energy efficient versions, not only saving the earth but saving us $$ in the end. And I’d love to have this tote to take with my reusable bags to the grocery, library, etc.
Taking the Prius to do some local grocery shopping with my reusable bags then off to the local nursery to look for some more flowers for the garden. My husband and sons will pick our organic vegetable from the garden to help with dinner.
We will be planting flowers on community property (in the rain) as well as other earth friendly practices throughout the day. ๐
I’m continuing to use my reusable shopping bags, and drinking my coffee out of mugs, not paper cups.
Hope this comment finally goes through! ๐
Used my reusable water jug at Starbucks this morning and winning a VLV tote would be the icing on the cake this Earth Day!
Love to recycle or reuse!
We try to celebrate the earth everyday – not using those thin plastic bags for produce, all reusable containers for kids lunches, recycling everything we can before we put things in the trash – we recycle twice the amount of our trash every week. But we can do better. We also try not to water our lawn too much in the summer and only use AC if temp is over 100 in summer. And even then, only after 4pm. On playdates, we sometimes go to the local playground and pick up trash. Today, we will plant some drought resistant plants at a local school. Love reading everyone’s ideas. I will use my Vera shopping bag for EVERYTHING!
I love reusable shopping bags! I use them daily!
One of my favorite quotes for Earth Day:
Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Natureโs peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves. ~John Muir
Love the tote! Can never have enough. Have them in both cars ready to use. For Earth Day……weather permitting we will be finishing up on our spring planting. Weigela and blueberry bush need to get planted. We are avid recyclers and composters.
To celebrate Earth Day, the kids and I are hanging at home on their day off today instead of driving somewhere for entertainment.
Celebrating Earth Day by filling boxes with donations for ARC, Goodwill, and DAV! Will clean up the garden and plant some new day lilies if weather cooperates!
My grandson and I are going to plant some trees for Earth Day. If we had a Vera Bradley reuseable bag we could take it to the Farmers Market when we get our veggies. We love Vera Bradley products!!!!!
I not only use reusable bags for work or shopping but also for traveling. You can never have to many!
We recycle plastic, paper, aluminum and glass. We have switched out our lightbulbs. Use reusable shopping bags. Shop garage sales and recycle furniture etc. Today and tomorrow we are cleaning out basement, closets and garage. We will donate what we can to local thrift shop. Try to always use reusable coffee to go mugs. Coffee not only tastes better it is less waste.
I’m celebrating Earth Day by focusing on being more environmentally aware – recycling, using less water, turning lights off, etc. Would love to win the bag to help do away with using as many plastic ones.
To celebrate Earth Day, I’m spending all day outside at the University of Dayton (my college) and doing my homework and daily tasks out there. I love celebrating the Earth and all its glory!
I usually leave my reusable bags in the car so they are always handy, but this one I would want to leave where I could see it — so cute!
When it stops raining I will go outside and work in my garden beds!
We have been using “greenbags” for several years, It took a while but now I always remember to bring them in with me. We use Greenbags for everything from caring covered dish supers to friends homes, to camping. I like to make sure I have one tucked into my purse when I am out and about so if I need one on short notice its with me. I also find that i do not like the alternate food containers you get when you eat out. So, I carry my handy lunch bag with empty containers in it so that leftovers go home in reusable containers and not something that will fill the landfills. We have over the years have done all kinds of fun crafts using things that would go to landfills. When we do coverdish dinners (weekly) we use real plates and not paper or plastic, I also purchase extra glasses so we do not use plastic cups.
I will be the coolest shopper at the grocery store with this groovy tote!
I love reusable shopping bags! I use them daily!
I love anything Vera Bradley!! Would love to have one of these Totes!!
Not just on Earth Day, but every day at my house we recycle our cans, paper, and bottles, we reuse shopping bags and other household items for school projects, we try to reduce with buying items with less packaging, and we conserve energy by turning lights/electronics off when not in use. I then teach my students at school to do the same. Last week we went and picked up trash on the playground and it was really eye opening for them to see all the garbage! We have to remember to do this every day, and not just on Earth Day, because we do only have one planet and that’s the planet we will pass on to our kids!
I will be celebrating by getting my flowers in today, even though it is a bit chilly here in Maryland! And I also will be using my re-usable shopping bags as I have to go get some extra groceries for my easter dinner preparations!
I crochet bags from plastic bags (newspaper or grocery bags) These bags can be used as purses, grocery bags, beach bags, etc. This recycles the plastic bags and creates reusable bags. Your only limitation is your imiganation.
Viva La Vera please!
To celebrate ED, I’ve cleaned out my basement, sorting keep items from items to donate to Charity! I’ve turned off the central air for the day and have chosen to not run the washer, dryer, dishwasher, or any other electrical applices not necessary. I’m taking a huge load of recycling to the drop off location. And I plan to figure out other ways to contribute!
My family is celebrating Earth day by cutting back on water intake at home, turning the lights off, and used my wonderful Vera Bradley grocery bags this morning when I shopped. Jeanine
Celebrate Earth Day everyday! Consume less, reuse everything you can! Bring your own Vera Shopper Tote to the store with you! Read labels to see what your products are made of. Being aware of the earths health, and how the production, consumption, and waste the products we buy affect the environment, helps us keep our own bodies healthy. We are all one. So respect the earth, one another, and yourself!
The ground here is still too frozen here to plant today, so we’re going to go on a family hike this afternoon, after work. I always carry my reusable bags in the car so I don’t forget them when grocery shopping…would love to have a Vera one to add to my stash!
I just want to thank you for all the new and exciting items you provide us with everyday. Today we are having the last baby shower, of course the invitations were Vera all the way! I also wanted to thank you for your sales team. Imagine getting a personalize hand written thank you note for your purchase from you favorite store. It doesn’t get any better than that.
It’s hard getting out of old habits like purchasing plastic water bottles but my family and I are filling up at home. Imagine if everyone changed just one thing how our environment could change.
Love to you all. Have a blessed earth day!
I love vera bradley anything. I would use this bag to bring our library books home and back. Also whenever going to the store, I have a collection of reusable bags and this would be a great addition.
I use reuseable bags all the time. The VB shoppers from a while ago are perfect because they fold up flat and fit in my purse. This one would make a perfect companion to my Folkloric bag !
I’m remembering to be grateful for this beautiful planet we live on and patting myself on the back for each and every step I take to prevent waste and keep things out of landfills that don’t need to be there.
Funky AND Functional! Plus you’re helping the environment! :))
Happy Earth day. Death to bottled Water !!!
I’m going to try to use as little electricity as possible today by trying to keep the lights off as much as I can!
Recycle, reduce, reuse.We try every day to use that mantra. A few simple steps and and an awareness of how important our enviroment is. Happy Earth Day !!!
I carry a BPA-free Brita bottle of water with me wherever I go, to reduce plastic water bottle waste. Today I not only celebrate Earth Day, but Good Friday.
I โค Vera Braldey!
Going shopping, going to use reusable shopping bags, including my SIAT shopper tote!!! Would love a VLV to go with it!!!
we celebrated eart day this past weekend with the festival downtown.
I use recycle bags and try not to use the airconditioner in the house i just open the windows and enjoy the sounds of the birds singing
I would love to receive a new VB Shopper Tote! I love using my reusable bags for everything. Maybe VB and Envirosax could team up and create some amazing bags together!
Pick me! Pick me! I need to go food shopping! hehe
I make sure you my recycle bags when I go to the grocery everytime and not just on Earth Day! I’ve decked myself in green for Earth Days!
I just love Vera Bradley bags. Earth Day is important to me every day. I try to reuse as much as possible at home and at work. As soon as it is day light come Spring we don’t turn on any lights until it’s dark outside. I try to get the kids out to play each and every day instead of just watching TV..I hope to win a bag.
Love the bag! Such a cute design.
In honor of Earth Day I will be tending our vegetable garden and caring for our trees and plants! Taking care of the Earth is a main priority for my family!
Our family will be getting a free tree from Lowes and planting it in our yard!!
Go Earth Day!
These bags are great for lots of different things
I am using reusable bags for shopping and reusable mugs for beverages. I also group errands to save on gas and car emissions.
we love to go to Jones Beach to clean up the beach
Very cute and earth friendly too! What’s not to love!!!
Worked this morning at our church campus picking up litter, cleaning garden beds and planted a couple of trees ๐ Wonderful fellowship and fun with everyone!!
Today I am going to the home improvement store to buy some seed kits to grow my own fruits, veggies, and herbs. I am planting the seeds in old egg cartons. I’m also using my reusable bags to bring them home from the store. And, as always I am keeping the lights off in the house and letting the fresh air in. I love Earth Day! And, I love Vera Bradley!
The shopper totes are great for carrying everything! Stylish too, especially,Vera! Gotta have the Vera!
Happy Earth Day!! I’m using resuable bags to shop with today and plan to plant a tree!
I โค VB!
We use reusable groceray bags and we walk to and from the public transportation rather than driving
I am celebrating earth day by not buying a thing and carpooling to a baseball game with friends!
I have last years reusable tote!!!
Earth day is a great way to see what you can do with your family to help the earth!! We have reusable shopping bags, but theyre black and not close to as pretty as the Vera bags…. they’re so cute!
I use reusable totes for everything… from bringing home the groceries to dropping off the recylables! Not to mention toting preschool snacks and picnic goodies around! We really do use our totes for EVERYTHING!
I would love to have one of these!
I am carpooling to the grocery with my Mom. We enjoy the time together and save gas. No plastic for me. I have reusable bags. I am also trying to use less chemicals on our farm this year.
I planted a tree!
What a agreat giveaway! I am celebrating Earth Day by working in the garden outside!
My children have always been fans of Earth Day, they especially like that everyone seems to be “aware” that day. To celebrate this year, my youngest has started her own garden and we are building our own rain collection bin for her to water all those plants. Throughout the entire year my family recycles all of the cardboard, paperboard, newspaper, paper, plastic, aluminum etc that come through our house, we use re-useable grocery bags, and try to plot out errands to make car-trips shorter and less frequent. Thank you Vera Bradley for supporting a cause that helps everyone!
Fantastic design for a fantastic cause! Reducing waste!
Cutest one of the shopping bags available yet!!!
Trying to save on water and power today by turning off the lights when I’m not in the room and turning off the tap when not using the water. Every little bit counts!
I try to make every day ‘Earth Day’!!! I recycle every day, and bring reusable bags to my favorite stores! Now that the weather is nicer, I’ll start riding my bike to work!
Hi! I’m staffing a booth for Save The Manatee (www.savethemanatee.org) at an Earth Day celebration on Saturday, April 23 in Boca Raton, Fl. I LOVE Vera Bradley and I feature Vera on my beachside cottage blog site as a regular shop/blog to visit and I highlighted the lovely English Meadow flip flops in one of my recent posts!
Happy Earth Day!!!
Linda Landers (aka – Linda Lan)
Bought some seeds today to plant and are working in the yard to get our gardens ready to plant. We also use reusable totes when we go shopping. Love that Vera has shopping totes, such a great idea.
For Earth Day we will be having a drawing for 2 trees at my place of employement. I will continue to recycle and use reuseable bags. I enjoy using the shopper totes from Vera Bradley.The are very stylish, to carry when picking up groceries or just shopping at the mall. I always have 1 with me and would really love the new Viva La Vera Shopper tote to add to my collection. I went to purchase one the first day they came out and they had already sold out in my area. I purchase one in the Folkloric pattern to use as a gift bag for my moms Mother’s Day Gift, she will get good use of it. The price is not much more than the gift bag and will get much more use out of it. Perfect size!!!
To celebrate Earth Day year round, I drop off aluminum cans at church so the Boy Scouts can recycle them and use the money for the troop. I combine this trip with my trip to the church for Bible class so I save on gas. I am also sending my Easter cards electronically to save paper ( and they are just so much fun). ( I use electronic cards for many occasions to save paper.) Since I can’t drive because I have just had foot surgery, I am saving a lot of gas.
I celebrated Earth Day by teaching my 1st grade class about the 3 r’s. We listened to an Earth Day rap and made up our own. We also wrote a pledge to the planet about how to keep Earth clean. Finally, we planted flowers and made recycled paper. It was so fun!
We are baking homemade bread and taking it to our neighbors. Then we are decorating bins to be used for our recycable materials.
I love reusable totes! So much safer for us and the enviroment. It’s nice to see all different kind of companies promoting the issue of “Going Green”. To efficiency and safety!!!
Love this:)
I use biodegradable shampoo and body wash to go easy on earth!
Vera does itself proud with their reusable tote bag.
I’ll be spending it with my Cub Scouts planting flowers for our local senior center. It is a perfect way to show them how to give back and help the earth at the same time!
We honor Earth Day each year by making a trip to the local nursery to search for a new shrub or tree for our yard. We started this tradition when our sons were in elementary school and plan to keep it growing for many more years to come. Our garden has grown into an odd assortment, but we love it.
I’m celebrating earth day by taking a nice long stroll in the sunshine and encouraging others to do so. I’m I’m tweeting and simply spreading the news about earth day to increase awareness of taking care of our planet. Today is also a great day to start on some green habits, I’m ditching bottled water and bringing a canteen to work!
We held an Earth Day celebraton at work and gave away plants and information to raise awareness. Love the Viva la Vera pattern; if I win a tote I will have to buy a matching lunch bag . . .
Love me some Vera Bradley! So neeeed this to tote my groceries around in! ๐
To celebrate Eart day, I placed 7 ads on freecycle for things I was going to throw away anyhow. I always use totes for shopping and I always use travel mugs instead of paper products.
Everyday is earth day! I will use the egg cartons for Easter baskets this year!
This is one of my favorites!! In celebrating by having a picnic outside for dinner with my family since im home from college ๐
I am celebrating earth day by taking a shorter shower and not taking a bath tonight. I know that water is overused by so many people when bathing so I hope this will help the earth.
I celebrated Earth Day by working with my plants and moving some to where today’s rain can water them for free!
I am headed to Neuhouser Nursery to get Indiana native plants to add to my Rain Garden – #76 in the City’s Rain Garden program -visit their website: http://www.catchingrainfw.org
Love the bag. As I do all of your bags. Would love to win one. Nancy P.
To celebrate Earth Day I am making recycling bins and signs for my office and home!
I am celebrating Earth Day by taking my reusable totes to the grocery store, using cloth napkins instead of paper napkins, torn up towels instead of paper towels and running the water as little as possible.
Definitely trying to be more kind to the earth lately. Having kids has made me more conscious of doing so. This bag would help a lot!
Love Vera’s Shopper Totes! Not only does Vera Bradley make me more colorful it’s making Earth more colorful one bag at a time!
We always use reusable totes when we go shopping and each family member has their own reusable water bottle. This tote is so pretty!
Love to useable shopping bags. On a daily basis we do not use paper plates, recycle foil and plastic bags, and we make our own compost to use in our garden.
Happy Earth Day !!! Love reuseable bags. It is nice to see that my Grandchildren have them and use them, they also use reuseable water bottles. They are our future and the future of our planet. Teach them well. !!!
I’m using my nylon shopping bags for my groceries, and taking water everywhere in a reusable water bottle! Love the shopper tote!
I love using reusable tote bags for many things!! Especially beautiful ones like this one!! I’m celebrating earth day by planting herbs today!!
This one is MUCH prettier than the green and kakhi ones I have now. Maybe I’d remember to take this one along with me more often! Love the new designs and colors!
Viva La Vera is my favorite VB color!!
and to celebrate Earth Day, I am assembling a picture of a butterfly out of bits of junk mail, and its turning out great ๐
We have planted a tree in our front yard for Earth Day!
By having this tote you’d be doing two terrific things. Shopping in style and saving the planet! What could be better?
What a great bag. I love it
I placed 7 ads on freecycle today in honor of Earth Day and I practice this everyday by using reusable totes. I do not use paper products and take my own travel mug when I go to the coffee shop.
I take my reusable bags with me everywhere I go. This one is soooo cute!!
Thanks,
EVERY DAY IS EARTH DAY, SO WE ARE DOING THE SAME THINGS WE DO EVERY DAY!! THIS BAG IS MUCH CUTER THAN MY ORDINARY GREEN ONE!!
Celebrating Earth Day by staying home. ๐
I’d love to have a bag to give to my mom for mothers day!!! She helps me so much!!
To celebrate earth day I’m planting flowers with my mom!
I purchased the Brita filter waterbottle and am planning on going to Starbucks with my refillable tumbler today! Sure would love the new reusable tote!
I bought a reusable coffee mug from Starbucks today! (They’re 20% off for Earth Day!) I also plan to dump my heaping pile of recycling stuff in the local bins today!!!
Earth day! Celebrate……….recycle.
I would LOVE to carry my groceries in that tote bag!
My children and I just picked all the trash up from our neighborhood park!!
What a cute tote! What a great way to celebrate Earth Day!
I am big on recycling, re-using, conserving natural resources.. even when travelling, I don’t have my sheets and towels changed everyday. The re-usable tote is so cute. I think it would further motivate the women carrying it to be “aware” and trendy at the same time. Great idea VB ;). Quite the statement. Happy Earth Day!
Just think you’d doing two terrific things when carrying this tote shopping in style and saving the planet. What could be better?
What a beautiful planet God has given us! Everyday is earth day! There are countless thngs I try to do on a daily basis to keep our earth clean, healthy and alive. I would be proud to carry a Vera Bradley Tote everywhere I shop!
I’m celebrating Earth Day by 1. rocking a sweet Earth Day t-shirt 2. eating at a nearby restaurant for lunch that serves only locally grown/made ingredients 3. not blow drying my hair (i.e. wasting electricity!) and 4. refusing to run the dishwasher today because it wastes water! ๐
My children and I picked all the trash up from our neighborhood park!!
Oh how fun!I would bring this tote with me EVERYWHERE!
I use reusable shopping bags every time I shop, but especially on Earth Day. I saw that it’s also National Jelly Bean Day, so I plan to buy some earth-toned jelly beans for my husband’s Easter basket (green, brown, sky blue), and definitely bring them home in one of my handmade cotton shopping bags.
I began my Earth Day celebration by having free coffee in my reusable mug. I’m planting flowers in my yard this weekend. I’d love to have an Earth Day bag from Vera Bradley; what a celebration! carol
Planting flowers today…between the rain showers. What better way to celebrate Earth Day than to get your hands in the dirt, feel like you are one-on-one with the Earth and Mother Nature, and get to watch those beautiful flowers grow and bloom to spread such wonderful colors against Earth’s beautiful green landscape for all to enjoy!
I celebrate earth day every day by using recyclable grocery and shopping bags. They are so much easier to carry. I also turn out the lights when I leave a room. Long live earth day.
I celebrate earth day by using reuseable shopping bags. We planted a tree in our yard when my son was young and it is now 5 feet tall. I would love this tote for packing items for my daughters softball games. Earth day supports the future for all of us.
The Earth Day bag is very pretty and would make a great bag for the kids!!!!
We are celebrating earth day by taking our children to the community garden and planting flowers. And talking about recycling in the classroom at school.
I enjoy anything that involves saving our earth as we know it for my kids and grandchildren. We are busy recycling old metal from the hills of my Dad’s farm. Recycle, recycle and recycle. Your bags are just one more way to help keep the earth pretty and clean. Besides that I love anything Vera Bradley. Enjoyed your sale in Fort Wayne. Congratulations on Japan.
Carolyn
Viva La Vera is my favorite pattern!!!
adorable shopping bag!!!
I’m celebrating Earth day by crafting decorative Easter eggs from styrofoam eggs and re-purposed knit sweaters.
I’m planting a tree today!! Happy Earth Day!!
The Earth Bag is awesome. I am a big fan of Vera Bradley and have quite a variety of handbags. This would certainly complement my collection.
I watched a show on tv this morning telling how children can make birds out of used light cardboard boxes, very cool, rather than just throwing the boxes away. I will share with my grandchildren, would be great for a class project. For Earth Day, I am taking all my aluminun cans and plastic grocery bags for recycling while out running errands today. For myself, I planted some flowers for my front porch, pansies. ๐
Will celebrate Earth Day by planting some veggies. Will reuse some packing peanuts in the pots along with some rocks. Always use reusable shopping bags at the store.
i love earth day…everyday. i try to teach my children and students ways to be good stewards of the earth everyday. i will enjoy some time outside today, thankful that we have clean air to breathe and sun to shine on our content faces.
Happy Earth Day!! ๐
I am cleaning out the house with my mom!
I celebrated Earth Day by having coffee in my reusable mug, by cleaning with old cloths/towels instead of paper towels, and by planting flowers in my backyard. I’d love a Vera Bradley tote!
We started celebrating 2 days ago with a work party at our elementary clearing dead debris and trash from the school grounds. Yesterday we helped all students plant, mulch and paint the courtyard area where they created a reading garden. Today my family is doing a 1 hour “turn it all off” time where we shit down all electronics and enjoy the outdoors as a family. Happy Earth Day!
I have a special diet that requires me to eat organically, so today I’m baking organic cookies for all of my friends to show how delicious they are, and just like always, I will be using my Bobble all day!!! Then tomorrow, I am going to see the new Disney Earth movie, African Cats to celebrate Earth Day!!!!!
When I go shopping I carpool with my neighbor. I would love to win this tote for shopping!
we celebrated by gathering all our old electronics from our garages and neighbors (cell phones, printers, faxes, dvd players) and turning them in this morning for proper disposal.
Love the Vera tote bag. Such a happy design. Would love to be a winner.
I teach environmental science to middle schoolers so I encouraged them to ‘do as I do’ and be aware of the changes of the season and to clean up the winter waste around their neighborhood while on school vacation. At home and at school we recycle and reuse. My husband asks me before he disposes of anything, from paper towel rolls to packing materials. We use these items in an interdisciplinary science and art Found Objects project.
I use 2 Vera bags for carrying all my school stuff back and forth every day.
Beautiful bag!! I use the re-usable bags everyday. They are very handy for all sorts of things. Plastic is poison to the earth. Happy Earth Day!
Walking instead of driving to close distances and cleaning up the trash in our neighborhood and then going to buy a plant/tree for home it is a every year project we do for Mother Earth. And I must say I visited the outlet in VA while on vacation and had the nicest customer service there in that store!!! Thank you to all the employees !!!
I celebrate earth day by pledging for the year [“I will turn off the lights when I leave the room”, “I will turn off the water while brushing my teeth]
The build up to this holiday (yes I said it, holiday) is as special as all holidays. I welcome new friendships, spring, warmth and growth this Earth Day. Thanks for having a pretty tote available this special time of year. Celebrate Earth Day Every Day!
I celebrate earth day by pledging for the year [“I will turn off the lights when I leave the room”, “I will turn off the water while brushing my teeth”]
Happy Earth Day!! Reduce, Re-Use, Recycle!!! ๐
I’m taking my kids to plant a tree!
All lights off today for us for aslong as possible, no washing machines or anything else we don’t need to use. I always use reusable totes for shopping and this one is just so pretty!
We will be celebrating Earth day with our cloth diapers and reusable shopping bags!
Planting a veggie garden this weekend!
Beautiful!
Doing a trash cleanup with the Boys and Girls Club that I volunteer at!
The ground here is still too frozen to plant anything, so we will spend the afternoon hiking, after work. I always carry my reusable bags in my car and I would love to have this Vera one to add to my stash!
I LOVE this bag! Every day is Earth Day as I recycle and reuse everything that can be. I would love to be able to show off my Vera Bradley Shopper Tote on my shopping excursions. Viva la Vera!
I celebrate Earth day every day of the year! I always bring a reusable bag to the store. I recycle all the paper and plastic from the place that I work. My coworkers gather the recycling items in a box through out the week and I take it home and place in my recycling container. This is something that I really enjoy and I love to see my recycling container full because I feel that I am helping the environment.
I wash and reuse metal cans and plastic food containers. During the summer I make holes underneath the big cans and plant herb seeds to give them as presents to my friends.
Happy Earth Day!!!
In celebration of Earth Day, I am taking all of my plastic bags to the supermarket today to recycle them. Then I am going outside with my walker and helping plant a garden with Tyler. This is the first time I’ve been outside except to go to the doctor’s or hospital since my double knee surgery. Ty will do most of the work but I will still enjoy being one with nature on Earth Day. Plant to make our world more beautiful & Happy Earth Day to everyone. Let’s keep it beautiful!
Plant a tree walk instead of drive the short distances and I must also add that while on vacation I went to the Outlet store in VA and had such a nice Customer experience with all the employees there . Everyone was very helpful and extremely polite and so nice. Thank you to the employees!!!!!!
this bag is sooo cute! I’m gonna have to look into buying more ๐
My usual Friday routine is dropping the recyclables we’ve collected off at the recycling center and then doing my grocery shopping with my reusable bags.
I celebrate Earth Day everyday not just once a year
i love this bag! perfect for that little shopping trip to the outside mall!
for earth day i am having a family picnik in our backyard while im home from college! family time and earth day combined into something perfect ๐
I wish I could say that I am doing something outside, but the day looks gloomy. I hope to be able to mow my yard when I get home from work. My 6 year old loves to go outside to watch me and play with the dogs next door. I would enjoy being at home with her on this day since she does not have school. I try to use my reusable bags as much as possible, I even use one to take my lunch to work. My older daughter makes fun of me for doing so, she said that she would rather take a plastic bag or paper bag. I would really enjoy having a different bag with such style to carry things in.
I love the Viva la Vera! The reusable tote would go great with all my other reusable grocery bags. ๐
I would love to add this to my collection and promise to display it as I shop. I am also recycling and boycotting plastic water bottles. My stainless steel cups keep water much colder! and after the purchase, It’s free! Happy Earth Day!
To celebrate Earth Day my daughters, 6 and 3, and I are playing a game to count how many ways we can treat the Earth better as a family. So far we have decided we will recycle more, plant a vegetable garden this summer, start composting, plant some trees and stop using grocery stores bags entirely and use more reusable totes :)! Happy Earth Day. Love the new VB lines.
beautiful bag, love my mailbag
I am using my reusable bags and buying my own vegetable plants to grow this summer.
To celebrate Earth Day, I’m volunteering to plant little pots with children at our local daycare! ๐
I am a recycling nazi, at home I have trash bins set up for cardboard, plastic, aluminum, steel, paper, glass, and plastic grocery bags. I work at Helping Hands, an emergency shelter for children who’s parents are in jail. When my students empty out their bookbags with graded papers, I encourage them to put them in the recycled paper box. Yesterday, in honor of Earth Day, we took all of that recycled paper that we had accumulated and made new paper that we painted Earth Day pictures on. I enjoyed talking with the children about the importance of recycling and all the fun things we can do save the earth.
I am not an expert gift wrapper (unlike my Mom) and so I find that using a reusable shopping bag as the gift sack makes my lack of skills obsolete! โOoooo, Aaaaahhhh! What a pretty gift bag! Oh wait, whatโs this?! It is a shopping bag!!โ The cost of a large gift bag at the store is comparable to the cost of one of Veraโs shopping totes and so I make it a point to stock up on the new releases at my local Vera store. This makes me feel extra special as well since my local Vera store is also our townโs knitting shop. I prefer supporting local businesses!
I celebrate earth day by turning off the electricity for an hour. It’s really the one hour out of the year where as a family we can talk and play board games without any other distractions. Earth brings my family together.
Cute! I like this shopper tote.
Cute!! I really like this pattern.
No lights for us today as long as possible and not using the washing machine, dish washer or anything else! I always use reusable totes and this one is just too pretty!
To celebrate Earth Day I’m leaving the lights off, taking a shorter shower, unplugging anything that isn’t needed, and sharing all of these ideas with friends, so they can do the same!! Reuse, Reduce, Recycle!! Make Earth Day Everyday!!!
I’m not only celebrting earth DAY but earth YEAR! I’ve given up using plastic waterbottles and instead I use the reusable ones!
Pick me! I love reusable shopping bags and use them all the time.
I use recyclable shopping bags everywhere! I’ve even bought them for others in the checkout line when I have some extra money. Small good deeds go along way, pay it forward!
To celebrate Earth Day, I’m gathering items in my home to donate to Purple Heart rather than throw them away with the garbage!
Thanks!
We always have our reusable shopping bags with us and love the Vera Twirly Birds Pink one the best–but we save that for non-grocery items! I use a caribiner clip to attach all my other reusable bags to the grocery cart so I have room for the groceries and they are easy to access when checking out.
I will open the windows instead of turning on the air conditioner.
I am recycling a stack of newspapers and shopping with my reusable bags.
I am celebrating Earth Day by no longer buying bottled water. I will use aluminum or BPA-free water bottles and filling them with tap water at home. I drink a lot of water at work and the gym. Using refillable bottles will eliminate waste and save money!
Looks like everyone wants one of these totes for Earth Day!
celebrating earth day with my brother and sister by dying easter eggs and heading to the beach to enjoy the outdoors. Hope everyone has a great earth day and a Happy Easter
I’m going to go check out all the Earth Day stuff in NYC today and listen to WQXR, the classical music radio station because they said that they’re going to be playing Earth Day music ๐
Our Earth Day in Vermont will start with a prayer, asking for peace to find a way to be a part of every day. Breakfast with the family, gathering sustanance to take part in Green Up day, where the children will learn the importance of cleaning up after ourselves as well as giving to our communities. Our day will end with a prayer, thanking God for our family, our love and our blessings.
I am starting seeds today for my garden.
The pretty colors will make errands a breeze!
I recycle my magazines and bottles~!
I try to always use reusable shopping bags when I shop. We also recycle paper, glass, and plastic at home. We keep the air conditioning set on 78 or higher during the summer and the heater at 65 during the winter. Next on the list is learning to compost!
Celebrate earth day in style, carry Vera Bradley!
I would use this every day. So super cute! Earth Day should be every day.
I am trying to use the least amount of energy that i can and planting trees and pretty flowers. I am also enjoying the nice day outside instead of being indoors.
Everyday is Earth day for our family. When my family and I go grocery shopping, we always bring with us a reusable shopping bag for our groceries. We recycle jars, cans, papers and plastic containers everyday. My children learned how to conserve energy by turning off lights and fan in their own rooms. We also hang our laundry so we only dry it in the dryer for about 10 minutes to take the lint off. We would love to have an Earth Day bag from Vera Bradley as it is very useful for our family. Happy Earth day!
Soooooo cute! Love it!
I’m using all my reusable bags for my shopping ( use them every day) I’m using a travel mug for my coffee. I use green sponges and old rages for cleaning my house. My facebook profile pictures is a picture of the Earth. ๐ Happy Earth day everyone
I celebrate Earth Day by using a refillable water bottle instead of disposable ones (Reduce!)
Bringing things I am done with to the consignment store (Reuse!)
And properly disposing of papers and plastics (Recycle!)
My daughters and I have cleaned up the random trash that has made it’s way in the street. Turn off the lights and use the light from outside. Using some reusable shopping bags to gather the items from the market. Changed to real dishes and cloth napkins to save the landfills…. Happy Earth Day!!!
To celebrate earth day, we are reusing shoe boxes to store greeting cards. We also have a trip planned to the recycling center today.
I carpooled today. I recycled my water bottle. When I went to the store I put more things in a bag so I would use less but it would be great if I had a shopping tote to use instead. I try to be green every day
Today is a triple whammy for me. I’m returning plastic bags to the grocery store, shopping with reuseable bags and cleaning the house without using a single paper towel. Every little bit helps!
We use reusable bags wherever we can, I carry an insulated reusable drink glass, we donate anything we’re finished with for someone else to use. Our city recycles just about everything now and our recycle bin is always full and our garbage has decreased significantly. Love the new reusable Vera bag! Thanks.
taking in recyclables at work in exchange for herb plants
We use fabric bags for shopping regularly. This would be a great addition to use for shopping.
I would use the tote in my car to tote whatever I have to tote. It is darling.
For Earth Day I will be using both travel bottles (my mug for coffee and the bottle for water). I will also be using reusuable shopping bags so I don’t have to use plastic.
I went grocery shopping with my grandson and we used my cloth shopping bags and bought seeds to plant later today. I told my grandson about the first earth day and how it came about. and he said that everyday should be earth day!
We’ve already started working it the yard, cleaning up and preparing our gardens for planting. Here is Colorado, we alway wait until after Mother’s day to plan since the weather can be a bit iffy. At our house we also recycle, use glasses instead of water bottles and our own shopping bags instead of plastic. There are times we forget so the goal for us in honor of earth day is to be more diligent.
in honor of earth day, as always we will be using our reuseable shopping bags, and if I am somewhere and forget my bags, I always ask for paper instead of plastic. I have stopped buying styrofoam products, because of the enviroment. I am also trying to do some work in my yard and be more enviromental friendly. Thanks Vera.
Besides recycling and using reusable products like water bottles, I am monitoring foods/packaging/ingredients looking for greener options. I am trying to buy food that is local (within 100 miles) and organic. I aim to purchase cleaning products that are natural. Lastly, when buying household products & clothing I look at the packaging and materials used to make the product and choose renewable options.
Love this Bag! What a fun way to be green!
I absolutely love Vera Bradley! I am such a green person…first of all, i reuse my drink cups, and shopping bags, i also have a vegetbale garden in my back yard, that I use as well as give to the homeless…I recycle everything…even things that are not mine…I will go out and pick up garbage on the streets, in the parks, and on the beach, and then I will bring it home and recycle it. I also make it a goal to pick up ciggerette butts and put them in containers with information on the earth and how protect it. My family also plants a tree every year in our yard as well as getting some of our community children together and plant them in our local parks. When we plant the trees with the children at the parks, we also help them start some flowers/ and vegetables in cups so that they can bring them home and plant them. Also, we help inform and assist people with planting their own vegetable and herb gardens. We love Earth Day, together we can all make a difference! Happy Earth Day everyone! Happy Earth Day Vera Bradley!
I’m celebrating Earth Day by planting a tree ๐ Happy Earth Day!
To help the earth I always use reusable totes. My totes are navy blue and boring. I would love to sport the Vera tote!
Earth Day should be every day! Using this as a daily tote will help me do my part in saving the earth. And of course, it’s Vera and I love it!
I’m celebrating EARTH DAY by using earth friendly products, planting flowers, cleaning up the yeard and mulching the grass instead of bagging. Going to the store would love to have a tote to carry groceries in.
Reusable shopping bags are the way to go!
I am using a recyclable coffee cup and shopping bags! I sure would love the Vera Bradley re-usable shopping tote! What a beautiful way to celebrate Earth Day! Happy Earth Day! Enjoy!

To celebrate Earth Day I got outside this morning to play some lacrosse, carpooling to practice of course! And now I’m using my travel mug!

A beautiful bag for a beautiful day.
Love the tote! I already have several that I use ALL the time! Including toting things back and forth to my kindergarten classroom. Yesterday I used two of them for our conservation lessons. I had “puppets” in one that were materials I used to talk about recycling – plastic,glass, aluminum and paper. The other had trash in it so we could sort it! It’s a beautiful way to help our earth!
Planting some pine trees with my boys!
My mom and I are always seeing who can find the cutest reusable bags. I know that I would win with this one!

I’m going to take my travel mug to Starbuck’s get a free cup of coffee. This evening we are going to go to Good Friday services at church.
To celebrate Earth Day I am collecting all of my expired Rx and OTC medications for proper disposal. I will then take them, in a reusable Eco-friendly bag, to a collection site to be disposed of properly. Everyone can do something, even the smallest of things helps ๐
This would be so much better to use than stuffing items into empty vera totes!!!
love the new shoppers tote! carry my old one every day to work with all my miscellaneous items, i.e., my vera ditty bag which i use for my lunch bag, my nook for reading at lunch, incoming and outgoing mail, etc. would be great to have the new pattern!! thanks!!
I love using reusable bags. This one is really cute too!
I’m trying to be better about using reusable shopping bags, travel mugs, filtered water instead of bottled water, and recycling! Happy Earth Day!
using reusable cups instead of styrofoam
The kids and I just finished planting herbs and pink flowers in honor of earth day. We are heading to the grocery store in a bit to shop for Easter dinner with our recycled totes…A Vera Tote would be more stylish!!! Happy Earth Day everyone!
I am committing to using my new travel mug for my coffee/tea purchases and I will use my reusable bags when I do some shopping later today. My students are also planting a garden and some trees today as an end to our week long Earth Day unit. ๐
We try and follow a less wasteful way of living. By recycling, reusing bags. Cutting down on garbage to save our land!
Today we walked with the kids to school. Everyday we try to conserve energy, use our own reusable shopping bags and we recycle!
I am celebrating the fact that more people are using reusable shopping bags today!! I’ve been keeping one in my trunk so I don’t have to use the bags from stores for years now ๐ I would love a new bag since my current Trader Joe’s satchel is on it’s last thread…
Leaving work early so I can plant my flowerbed with the help of my niece and nephew before they leave town! HAPPY EARTH DAY (everyday!)
That tote would remind me to use reusables more often- so cute
I love this shopper tote the best so far out of all the others! So bright, bold, colorful & springy! I use my totes for beach, baseball games, grocery & more! They are awesome & so pretty; love them!
We celebrate Earth Day every day. Using reusable totes, recycling everything we can, planting our own garden and buying items made from recycled materials is our way of life. Each year on Earth Day we plant a new tree to commemorate the year and a significant event that has happened in our lives. This year we are planting a Japanese maple to remember our special friends in Japan and the destruction that has occurred there. Using the VB totes has become a way of life for all of us, even Dad takes his lunch to work in one.
Today, we will be enjoying a bike ride to the library & grocery store. Tomorrow, we are attending a Earth Day weekend garden show to buy more drought-resistant plants for our yard.
Turing off power…no AC, dishwasher, washer or dryer, etc…recycling everything we don’t need…planting some trees/plants..using rags/towels instead of paper towel…
Love the design on the bag! One can never have too many bags ๐
I have a reusable water and ice tea bottle that I use every day.
The kids and I are using our reusable bags while we shop, we are visiting Starbucks today with our refillable mugs and my daughter was just elected Earth Club President at her school!!
I am celebrating Earth Day by printing on both sides of paper, taking shorter showers, and reusing containers/bags from stores.
To celebrate Earth Day I am teaching my kids about recycling. We are also walking to the store instead of driving to cut down on pollution which is bad for the environment. We also use re-usable bags when shopping. My three year old is learning to recycle and is in charge of gathering the items, he also helps me take them to the recycle center. He does such a great job!
to celebrate earth day today, i’m minimizing my waste. instead of throwing things away at the office, i’ve encouraged my colleagues to develop their own “recycling bin” and to empty it themselves when need be, rather than letting the garbage collector take it.
Love the cause. Cute Vera Bag.
I plan to celebrate Earth Day by spending a lot of time outside (if the weather will cooperate!). I also plan to make dinner will all Michigan-made products!
On Earth Day I plan on using my reusable bags for shoppping for groceries. We also on a daily basis sort our stuff and take it to the recycle bins.
I plan to recycle and use bags insead of getting plastic bags.
To celebrate earth day, my family is going to start recycling and using reusable bags at the grocery store.
I promote and educate recycling every day not just Earthday. For Earthday we try to show the amount of impact recycling can make if everyone recycled. ex. water, energy, and landfill saved by not having to produce new products. Even my mother has begun to educate her walking group to recycle, but to use re-usable bags when buying grocery. She has even begun composting!!
We use reusable grocery bags. We recycle as much as possible. We cloth diaper at least 50% of the time.
To celebrate Earth Day today and every day. I use my travel mug & reusable bags
I will be using my own shopping bags today and everyday I remember them!
I love Vera! We celebrate by cutting down our waste and recycle everything we can!
Reduce
I hear the birds chirping, my flowers are blooming in the garden and it is Earth Day! I would love to be walking downtown with the cutest flower Vera Bradley shopping tote to match the day!
Today would have been my dad’s 90th birthday, so Earth Day has always been special to us, but for a little different reason! I did take my own bags to the grocery store this morning! ๐
We celebrate by planting a new tree. :0)
For Earth Day I will be planting Gerbera Daisies!
We purchased a water filter and have completely stopped using the store plastic bags.
I’m helping my 3 year old plant some flowers in our backyard today– in celebration of Earth Day!
God gave us a wonderful Earth to enjoy. We should treasure it !
We celebrate by planting a new tree each year.
Here at Clemson University we are celebrating Earth Day with some awesome rain! There is also a big fair going on with tons of games, eco-friendly give-aways, and tents set up to learn about how we can help the earth! I love Earth Day, and I’m a huge advocate of recycling and going green. It’s also my best friends BIRTHDAY!!
I would love to have a Vera Bradley reusable bag!
LOVE VERA BRADLEY & โค Earth day! GO GREEN!
I have this tote in Folkloric and love it!
I am going through my towels and donating them to a local animal hospital to use with sick animals. They also use towels to send home euthanized pets with their owners.
Rainy day so I can not celebrate outside.
I would look so cute doing my grocery shopping at LSU with that bag!
I’m visiting the local nursery to purchase plants for the yard.
I love the tote bag design and use shopping bags for all purchases.
I love the bag!! We also recyle anything and everything we can. Planted a huge garden and planted trees for earth day. If everybody cared a bit more about the earth and recycled it would be a much better place especially for the next generation.Would love the tote to tote my stuff in.
To celebrate earth day, I carpooled to work. We are cutting out more than half the printed paper we are using today! Go earth!
Love the VB bag. We try to do our part daily to help the earth. We have grandchildren to save it for! Thanks!
All day I have been using my Earth Day cold cup and my reusable coffee cup. Tonight we plant a tree. And all the egg shells and coffee grounds go out to fertilize our garden.
My husband thinks I’m nuts becasue I love to buy reusable bags all colors and designs….I can’t help it. So I would love to add this shopping bag to bring on all my shopping adventures.
Thanks for bringing up just joyful bags.
p
I love this. Hope I’m the winner!
Vera reusable tote rocks!!
Earth Day is EVERY day! I recruited new Earth lovers in my classroom by reading, teaching, and demonstrating why reducing, reusing, and recycling are so important!! One project for Mother’s Day has the kindergartners painting egg cartons, decorating them with old buttons, lace and beads, then presenting them as “Mom’s Jewels” boxes!!
Just enjoying God’s green Earth! It’s beautiful day.
I LOVE Vera Bradley and I love to shop. Please pick me. This shopping tote will be my companion on my shopping trips!
I LOVE using these bags! Not only are they beautiful (because they’re Vera!) they’re also very functional! A great green alternative bag for shopping, grocery’s, and a gift bag! I enjoy going green without sacrificing functionality and fashion! ๐
I am celebrating Earth Day by cleaning up around my home. happy Earth Day everybody!
I’m planting a garden and a new tree. Love the shopping tote.
We are planting more flowers, changing out the lightbulbs to energy saving eco friendly ones, going grocery shopping using my not quite as adorable reusable tote bags, and getting my free coffee at Starbucks with a reusable mug!
to avoid using plastic bags at the grocery stores, I keep a supply of tote bags in my car.
I celebrated Earth Day with my 2nd graders yesterday at school. I would love to use the tote when taking things to school and back!
I’m doing the usual. Trying to not print as many e-mails. If I go to the market I’ll use my reusable bags… which need replacing at the moment. And when a careless co-worker turned the faucet on and walked away to tell someone something while it was running excessively- I got up and turned him off and told him it was Earth Day and he shouldn’t be so wasteful. He’s actually a boss. So if I get fired for it- I’ll need this tote to pack up my office ๐
I love these! I have one in Sittin’ in a Tree that I use all the time!
I am using reusable bags for grocery shopping, and cleaning out closets to recycle old clothing and donate to a local thrift store.
Happy Earth Day to All! I love reusable bags!
I love the bag and we use recycle bags all the time when we grocery shop!
My city now charges a nickel if you use a disposable bag. It was so easy to switch to bringing my own. I don’t know why I didn’t do it before. This bag has a really cute design and would “almost” make grocery shopping fun.
I am a crazy recycler. Everyday not just Earth Day. Whenever I end up with plastic bags they go right back to the store to recycle. I recycle the caps to a plastic company to get reused. Old out grown clothes get recycled to younger friends kids. We use aluminum water bottles instead of plastic. Use our travel mugs for coffee instead of styro. We plant a tree in the yard every year around earth day. I could really use this attractive tote to pick up some groceries, and replace one of my old ones. Thanks.
Today is my 50th wedding anniversary, however I have been widowed for 15 years therefore I will celebrate Earthday and the anniversary by planting a memorial tree in my garden.
I am celebrating Earth Day by using reusable bags when I do all of my Easter shopping!!
Every day is Earth Day around our house and I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate it than by using a beautiful Vera shopping tote!
The two things I do to help our planet are saying “No” to plastic bags – I bring my own bags, or just say “No Bag” and tuck it in my purse (BTW, my Vera’s always have extra room to tuck something into!) I also use refillable water bottles for my whole family. Its easy enough to keep the bottles filled at home, and grab just as we walk out the door.
I am always recycling and trying to be green! love these vera reusable totes ๐
Love to reuse and reduce. I would love a new Vera shopper tote. ๐
I have been amassing a collection of reusable shopping bags after a recent trip to recycle all the plastic grocery bags I’ve collected just since January. Even tightly packed, the returns for the past 4 months FILLED a 55-gallon trash bag. I was horrified! (Proud that I recycled but horrified I had accepted so many in the first place.) This bag is a beauty and I’d be proud to use it.
Best Wishes,
Mary OK
I’ll be using everyday things like jars that we empty to start seeds and starting to wither recyclable bags to plant lettuce and flowers in.
I have a large selection of travel mugs and I chose one to match my outfit for my morning caffeine kick stop!
I am cleaning out my closets today and using my totes to separate my things into consignment, giveaways to friends w/younger children, donations, yard sale, and miscellaneous. When I am giving away items, I often put them in a cute reusable tote to encourage friends to use them. When shopping at the mall or grocery store, I always try to choose my cutest totes to attract others to use them as well. I’ve been stopped many a time asked by strangers where I bought my tote or where can they get one like it. I also send things to school in totes so the teachers will reuse them instead of plastic. ๐
I reuse plastic bags! i also like using nalgene waterbottles instead of plastic ones!
Go GREEN with Vera Bradley!!
I’m at work today =), so I’ll spend my Earth Day spreading cheer to our patients. And hopefully the weather warms up for Easter Weekend to my family take a bike ride and do a little work in the yard. I wish everyone a wonderful Earth Day, Good Friday, and a Happy Easter!!!
To celebrate Earth Day, I thought it would be fun to plant a small tree with my daughter! Teach a new generation how precious our earth is!
For Earth Day my kiddos and I are going to walk the neighborhood and pick up trash – we are going to make it as pretty as that Vera Bradley Tote ๐ I am now smiling and thinking of how much fun it would be to grocery shop with that beauty!!!
Happy Earth day! …I remember planting a tree at my high school back in the 70’s on the very first earth day… ๐ wow… I am getting old.
I love reusable bags! This Vera one would outshine all others! I am celebrting today by not using plastic bottles and using travel cup for myself and my children.
Love the shopper totes as they say “being green never looked so good!”
I will be using my totes tonight when I do my grocery shopping…some of these totes I have had and used for 20+ years. I certainly could use a gorgeous Vera tote to brighten them up!
As a teacher I try to practice what I preach. From carrying groceries in Vera shopper totes, to reusable coffee and water cups, rechargeable batteries, using less water, electricity, energy. And donating clothes and unused items each season. Except my vast Vera collection! Additionally we participate in our communities park clean-up and beautification activities. Go green! Every little bit helps!
I celebrate Earth Day by getting Easter treats in my reusable tote bags…my daughter can’t see through a reusuable bag like a regular plastic bag!! ;o)
Going out to buy more recycle bins to be able to separate recyclables. Go green!
I couldn’t think of a more stylish way to go grocery shopping AND help our EaRtH ๐
Just waitng to win this bag! Love Viva la Vera!
To celebrate Earth day we have decorated our home using flowers from the garden. We’ve found that reusable bags are handy for carrying flowers in from the yard ๐ The kids are excited to plant our vegetable garden and take a bike ride along our local wildlife preserve to check out all the new wildlife!
In honor of Earth Day, my co-workers and I set up a week of carpooling this week and did group lunches with as little waste as possible. I also did all of my shopping plastic and paper free and walked my groceries home since the store is so close. ๐ We will also be doing some planting outside of our apartment in an available area.
Yay Earth Day!
Had plans on planting new trees to replace the dead ones we had removed in the fall, but it’s pouring rain. So instead I’m taking all my plastic grocery bags to the recycle bin at the store. Would be nice to have a pretty new shopping tote to use next time I shop. We always recycle and we use our dead trees as compost for new ones.
Driving my hybrid with reusable bags always in the back and drinking coffee from my reusable mug:)
I have been using reusable grocery bags for a few years now, and looking back it amazes me how many plastic bags I would go through. That alone would make anyone want to use these….of course a cute pattern doesn’t hurt either.
what an appropriate “prize” for Earth Day. Love the pattern, love the bag
I’m celebrating Earth Day in my community by volunteering to clean up the flower beds near the Fitness Center. This includes deadheading the daffodils, trimming the knock out roses, removing dead plants and mixing in some topsoil with peat to add to the planters. We are proud of our community!
I of course will use my reusable shopping bags, and I already recycle soda cans. Winning this bag would make my shopping experience more fun! ๐
I have 2 of the other reusible totes and I love them! The quality is great and they are fashionable to carry! I can’t wait to add this one to my collection!
In celebration of earth day i plan on remembering to use my cloth bags at the grocery store!
As a preschool teacher, I try to always reuse as much as possible – plastic quiche trays become sorting or counting trays – icing buckets from the bakery become Easter backets. Many things can be painted or turned upside down and viola! – a new craft.
I am taking all my unused grocery bags to Walmart to their recycling box today. I also used my reusable coffee mug today for water (I don’t drink coffee, LOL!!) I would love this bag, it is so stylish. I was actually thinking about making my own little shopping bags out of unused material that was going to be tossed out at work until I BEGGED them not to throw it away (a sizable amount of fabric) I rescued this fabric and now lots of us gals get to make our own projects out of fabric that almost ended up in the dumpster!!!
I love making stuff out of things that normally end up in the trash. My favorite thing is decorating salsa jars with pretty paper and turning them into candy containers!! They look really cute!!
I stopped using plastic and paper at the stores and started using the reusable totes they are great so much stonger too. Earth day this year is also my mom’s birthday Happy Birthday mom ๐
To celebrate Earth Day we are going to recycle the many bags of aluminum soda cans we have. Also we are going to take our plastic grocery bags to the recycle box at WalMart. Happy Earth Day everyone!
I make everyday Earth Day! I’m an Environmental Coordinator, so my job is to help the companies I work for make better choices regarding the process and materials they use, to reduce the use of energy and natural resources, and to find recycling options for more of thier wastes. These are also the best “work” principles I get to use at home!
I love Vera Bradley and I would like to have the Tote
Thanks!!
Well, I gave up buying bottled water for Lent, and will continue To not purchase once Lent is over.
I use my own shopping bags,
I’m celebrating Earth Day with my Kindergarten students by planting flowers outside our school and picking up trash on the playground.
Love the bag! I only use reusable bags! I would love this bag!!
My college and I are cleaning up the local park and campus. We are encouraging students to take pride in their community and keep it clean by promoting recycling. We are walking to the parks so as not to use cars and pollute the environment.
My daughter’s spring break and we planned today for planting flowers in the front of our house. Also I’m taking my mug to Peet’s for free coffee. We’re also going to have picnic outside in our backyard in honor of Earth Day too with Grenzy the Panda Bear and Giraffee- earth day bear and giraffe too! It’s going to be a glorious day in Southern California!!!
Love this bag!!!!
I’m going to make sure all the lights and electronics not in use are turned off or unplugged. Also, clean out closets and recycle or repurpose things I already have.
Love the market totes! I have my SIAT in the car at all times for shopping!
Reusable Bags are a wonderful addition to all the stores, but a Vera Bradley reusable bag is not only eco-friendly but it’s also stylish. So cute!
These bags are my encouragement to be more “green.” Thanks for making it stylish to be green!!!
Every year for earth day my family plants a tree! It was started when us kids were in elementary school and we have kept it going ever since!!
Our family is using is going to pick up trash on the highway, go to neighbors and give them florescent light bulbs to switch to, turn our air conditioner down 3 degrees in each room. We also are going to take 1 minute showers and dry our clothes outside. We also are going in a group to our community park to plant some trees. Me personally will be using a refillable mug for my drink. I will could use the shopper bag to add to the green list of things i am doing and to save the environment from using plastic bags!! Go Green! Save The Earth! ๐
I am changing from paper napkins to cloth ones.
I love the new summer patterns. What a cute bag! We just came back from Orlando. Got to go to the new Vera Bradley outlet store on grand opening. What an amazing place!!
I am taking my kids to the store to pick out a tree to plant! ๐
Not driving, sorting items to repurpose/recycle.
Just thought of something! Our family will be having a picnic! Recycled napkins, cloths, and baskets are going to be used!
I honor Earth Day by planting some new plants in my garden. This year I am planting a wide variety of sunflowers.
I always use reusable shopping bags. we don’t need any more waste!
I use reusable bags when I go shopping. I would love a new Vera Bradley reusalbe bag to had to my other bags,
Happy Earth Day Vera and America!!! We started out our day by cleaning up the yard and getting our composting going . A local coffee shop was giving away free coffee if you brought in a travel mug so we went to enjoy and brought home the used grounds to place in the compost bin as well (this will also be a great way to reuse the kitchen scraps and egg shells as we prepare our holiday meals). We have been using our reusable shopping bags to gather our groceries and supplies for Easter. I have been taking my kids to some local celebrations as we have been shopping to get them thinking more about consumer habits and how it affects the Earth. After all, our children are our future and the future of the world. We came home to continue to work in the yard and do some Spring planting. Not only is this good for the air we breathe but also creates homes for our feathered friends. It is raining here but that is okay because it is a part of the planting process and a good way to conserve water as we put in the new plants and bushes. Finally, tonight we will turn off all electronics (TV’s , computers, lights, etc.) and use candle light to eat by, spend time together and prepare for the holiday (not only will this save energy but also be a good way to reflect for the holiday). Happy Earth Day and may we all keep some of our Earth Day resolutions throughout the year!!
I already use reusuable shopping bags and if I don’t have enough when I’m at a store I ask for paper bags (which I use for recyclables!). I’m off work today so I am keeping all lights off until evening and not using my car today. Every little bit helps!
I love Earth Day. It’s one day a year that people actually care about the environment, and take a day to appreciate it.
Happy Earth Day!! Love Vera Bradley and the reusable tote.
I have used ego frinedly easter baskets and filler for my nine grandchildren’s Easter.
GO GREEN! Vera Bradley’s Bag Is SOOOOO Cute! What a perfect way to celebrate earth day with a stylish tote!
I LOVE Vera Bradley!!! I celebrate Earth Day by using reusable water bottles and making sure to recycle anything that I can! I am starting to use less water and even have rechargable batteries. I love the promotions that Vera Bradley has because they inspire people to help the community and the earth! ๐
We reuse and recycle everything we can. We are refurbishing patio furniture from family instead of throwing it away. We are preparing our garden for planting and expanding it this year to plant a bigger variety of vegetables.
We planted 20 trees and still have at least 2 more to go! We took out three dead trees that we put in the woods to become cover for the rabbits, birds and other woodland animals. I try to remember my shopping bags when i go to the store but with two small kids sometimes i forget! i am going to do better!
Use reuseable shopping bags!!
I never throw away an old sock…even the “holey” ones. Just put one over your hand and voila! you have a great dust cloth. Saves money and natural resources since you don’t have to buy disposable dust cloths.
Reusable mugs for my tea an d coffee! Plus if you go today to Starbucks you get a free fill your cup with tea or coffee, its a WIN! While shopping I use cloth totes to put in my goodies! Recycling is the best thing to do!!
To celebrate Earth Day and reduce my carbon footprint I am only enjoying local produce since it is from “nature’s wrapper.” There is no need to consume foods that are wrapped in paper, plastic, or other materials that negatively impact Earth. It’s time to go green!
I will be making another batch of my homemade laundry detergent and reusing the plastic containers for the detergent as well. I also will be crocheting a “cozy” with shoulder strap for my steel water bottle to make it easier to tote around.
We love Earth Day! We try to help the earth everyday, not just today. ๐ We use our reusable bags when we shop. We recycle and try to conserve energy when we can!
We are using reusable coffee mugs and shopping bags today! Thanks for the chance to win a bag!
What am I doing to celebrate Earth Day? Let’s see.. Taking my boxes and boxes of recycling to the local Recycling Center, Donating a whole bunch of Spring Cleaning goodies to the local rescue mission for a No-Kill Animal Shelter, Opening up all the windows in my apartment for fresh air, walking around my apartment complex and picking up garbage while I get some sun, oh and my fiance and I are painting my 8.5 month pregnant belly to look like the Earth to send to friends and family ๐
In an effort to be more green in all areas of everyday lifes – here are some activities we have coordinated.
– We have removed/stop purchasing plastic or paper cups, plastic silverware and big jugs of water. Our company has almost 5,000 employees in 46 US states. People now use their own, washable mug and silverware and we installed water filter systems in all of us offices so we no longer have the big plastic jugs to worry about. We also, just this past week, brought in local farmers and offered the employees to purchase “shares” of fruit and vegetables to support our locally grown foods.
– In the neighborhood – we organized a pick up of garbage and taught the kids about recycling – glass, aluminum, paper, cardboard.
– Next month, we will also be planting over 100 seedlings (assorted trees) to plant in our community!
– Today – we are replacing all of our light bulbs with energy saving bulbs!
I think everyone who took the time to share deserves this bag! Thank you all so much for everything you do – it all adds up and makes a huge difference.
I, of course, love the bag too!
Here it to our earth, our home! Cheers!
I love these reusable bags. I take them to shop for groceries and the rest of the time they help me tote items from home to work and back.
Spent Earth Day talking to students about ways they can celebrate Earth Day! Their ideas were wonderful!
I’m celebrating with my little dude.. finding ways we can reduce, reuse and recycle!! I luff Vera!!
Always use reusable totes.. would love a pretty Vera Bradley one.
how fun!
With four boys it is nice to have a little Verra helping you with a pretty way to be grean. It is a beautiful day here in New England off for a coffee and pick up the boys from school after thier day of road and park clean up. Your bags are made so well thank you for the quality !!!
I am fusing plastic bags into a laptop case for my refurbished laptop!
Walking more and using reusable totes!
Happy Earth Day! Recycle, Recycle, Recycle. Keep America Beautiful ! I am creating a recycling container at work.
I use reusable bags all of the time! ๐
I volunteered at a school to teach kids the importance of earth day and did a recyclable art project with them! ๐ love the bag!!
Today we went shopping for eco-friendly items that were on sale! Saved a bundle. We also bought a new travel mug and It’s officially “play outside day” at our house!
To celebrate Earth Day we are planting our herb garden for 2011.
I love this bag! We are planting a garden and we are committed to eating only local produce this year. I can’t wait! Yum!
To celebrate earth day i taught my preschool class how to recycle.
I use reuseable bags every time I go to the grocery store. And I have been trying to use a reuseable cup and straw.
I use my Vera Bradley every day of the year. It is so easy to care for – wash – line dry.
Lunch bag comes in so handy for lunches carried to work. Other bags carry all needs for the day. They also go to Sunday School with me to carry those needed supplies. It makes Earth Day so much better because you are re-using and not was wasting any of the enviroment. HAPPY EASTER – Vera Bradley!!!!
Today I volunteered picking up litter for six hours around my city. Though it was pouring and we endured 30 mph winds it was great to be out helping my community with a group of others!
I work in daycare and I love to teach our children all about the earth by using recycled items and doing crafts teaching them ways to save our planet. I use my Vera Totes for all my shopping and to carry my items to work.
We celebrate Earth Day every day by trying to conserve electricy and water and planting our own veggies.
We us natural compost from our county’s solid waste recycling. They take the mulched leaves, lawn clippings, food scraps and other organic waste and composts it. It is then free to members of the county to pick up in the spring to use in gardens or lawns. I have 60 rose bushes. This is a very important of my gardening routine.
I have a lot of shopping totes – but not this one-yet. Look at the straps – how comfortable they’d be as you shop or walk to your picnic. Maybe I can even get my daughter to do the carrying today- what a great way to Celebrate the Earth!
To celebrate Earth Day I am going to go start planting my veggie garden.
Our family motto is to reuse , recycle, and refrain from littering. Anything to make our home a safer and cleaner environment. I would use my Vera reusable tote to tote around my 3 kids reusable cups, snacks and drinks! What a great splash of color to add to any picnic!
I would love the Vera reusuable bag.I don’t have one and love using reusuable bags for shopping.I live in a rural area and am trying to find more resources for recyclables.We have cut down tremendously on plastics and use stainless steel water bottles to drink our filtered water from.Reusing or repurposing cuts down on the landfill.Woulds love to find an inexpensive rain barrel system to use in our organic garden.We are very new to organic gardening but know that it is so much healthier than even the organic foods in our markets.
I love these bags and would love one in VLV!
I planted bluebonnet seeds here in TX and I use reusable shopping bags at the store. ๐
For Earthday I am using reusable shopping bags, a reusable cup & recycling cans. I try to make it earth day everyday and do as much as I can to help our planet ๐
I LOVE reusable shopping totes. So handy to have around, they fold up nice and neat! We planted 3 more trees in our yard and thankfully we didn’t wait for Earth day, it is raining cats and dogs here! Most of our local Earth day festivities have been cancelled or postponed.
Lowe’s is giving away free trees so I am going to try to get one and then I am going to plant it!!! I have never used reusable bags….thought they would be too much trouble!!! But I am going to start and I hope to with one of these!!!
The earth is taking a shower where I am today, but I would certainly use this pretty springy shopping bag if I had one! Great design – love it!
I’m celebrating by not over using electricity or wasting water or food. ๐ I would use this bag for everything! Great for lunch, instead of using paper bags all the time.
I have already fished out the plastics that the kids have “accidently ” thrown into the trash. And my cloth bags are by my front door ready for my next shopping trip.
I am celebrating earth day with shopping with reusable bags and buying recycled products for our Easter celebration. The recycled napkins and biodegradable utensils are even better than the plastic ones! Thanks Vera for helping the world become cleaner!
love love love it!
We are celebrating Earth day by using re-usable shopping bags, travel mugs for our coffee and sodas, buying foods in recycleable containers, and planting a tree.
This year for Earth Day, I am recycling household items to save on landfill waste and also using reusable mugs, bottles, bag, and containers.
We are sitting in the house with no lights on today. We ALWAYS recycle all of our house garbage, from plastic to paper to aluminum.
Love the new VERA BRADLEY recycleable bag! I use several earth friendly bags when I go shopping. Their white plastic bags just don’t hold up like the Friendly bags do! love the new colors!
Love the Viva La Vera Shopper Tote!! What a wonderful giveaway for Earth Day!! I carry several reusable totes in my car so I aways have them! I use them for grocery shopping, carry alls for soccer games, parties, you name it! I also have given several disguised as gift bags :)!
My boys & I have been spending the day together going through old clothing and toys to donate. Happy Earth Day!
Earth Day celebrations around here are a little cold and damp! Was planning on doing some gardening, but 48 degree temperatures and rain make that a little hard.
Love the tote! I make it my goal every time I go shopping, to come home with as few plastic grocery bags as possible. Quite often that number is zero! I would LOVE to have a Vera bag to add to my collection!
Every year for Earth Day, I volunteer alongside a few friends/co-workers/neighbors to plant trees around the neighborhood! We also extended it this year and planted flowers for the less-fortunate neighbors within our city to put a smile on their faces. Furthermore, I recycle every day (after having suggested my complex do so) and continue to use the reusable Publix bags whenever I shop – not just at the grocery store, but at the mall, the produce market, etc.. I believe I have about 20 of them in my house, garage, and each of our cars. I’ve promoted the idea onto my family and continue buying them gifts in these reusable bags as opposed to gift wrapping, gift bags, etc. Really though, that’s an every day occurrence, so I guess I can’t count that!
My husband and I have committed to only having 1 ‘garbage’ bag on trash day. We are recycling everything we can and more often than not our recycle bin is full and we don’t have that 1 gargabe bag on trash days!
Earth day is everyday, right? Therefore, I practice being green everyday! Newest move…reusable coffee mug for my daily coffee at work.
I am taking all the plastic grocery bags that I have accumulated over time to the recycling receptacle at my local grocery store and making a commitment on Earth Day to only use reusable bags when I shop. Hopefully after 21 shopping trips (it takes 21 days to start a new habit) I will no longer need reminder notes to remember to grab the bags before I enter a store. Ah, but if I had a Vera Bradley reusable tote I wouldn’t need the notes as I could never forget to proudly show off such a beautiful bag!
Love Vera Bradley, we are taking advantage of all the wonderful opportunitities to go green on Earth day!
For Earth Day 2011 we’ve relocated our vegetable garden this year to a sunnier spot and have built a new plot, adding dirt and planting. Very excited about the new location and looking forward to greater success. Also have started composting this year! I’d love to add Viva la Vera to my other canvas bags that I carry in the trunk of my car to use when I shop … not only for groceries, but when I go to the mall or anywhere I will be carrying something other than my (Vera) handbag.
I’m celebrating Earth Day but replacing all the disposable lunch containers with reusable lunch containers. No more plastic for me if it can be avoided.
My husband packs his lunch every day in reusable containers and we always use reusable bags at the grocery stores but none as CUTE as this! I also carry a reusable bag in my purse that rolls up into a very small roll so I NEVER get a plastic bag from the stores. Let’s save the earth for our children! I would love to add this bag to my collection! It is so darn cute!!
My mom always uses recyclable shopping tote when we go grocery shopping! My brother and I are thinking about getting her some fashionable vera ones for mother’s day! Her favorite new pattern is Viva la Vera!
I use recycling bags all the time, and it would be fun to flaunt a new VERA BRADLEY bag! More people should use these types of bags, in fact I always keep a couple in my trunk just in case!!
I planted a tree/seedling today ๐ Happy Earth day! Thanks Vera Bradley for being earth caring.
I am celebrating Earth Day by finally taking our plastic water bottles that we’ve collected in the last few months over to the recycling place. We also use earth-friendly bags when we go shopping (way before the state banned plastic bags in all stores).
I’m using my reusable bags at the grocery store and I’m bringing my own mug to my coffee shop.

I’m going home from school this weekend, but making sure to ride with friends to live nearby to help save gas and the environment. Also doing a little spring cleaning in my dorm room, making sure to recycle all that I can and donating the things I won’t be needing after my senior year is over.
I’m celebrating Earth Day by keeping the lights off, cleaning up the local park and holding a discussion on how to make the world more green.
Spending the day with my children, listening to their ideas to help the planet, and implementing a couple of them is a great way to celebrate Earth Day!!
To celebrate earth day today. Instead of using electricity to dry my hair, I drove to work with my windows down to air dry my hair.

On Earth Day, I will use reusable bags at the store, and plant a tree.
For Earth Day I will start using reusable water bottles. This tote may be just what I need to start using for a shopping bag.
Our school has been trying different things all year to go green….We recycle all year and for earth day we went around town with colored chalk and decorated the sidewalks with ideas to save the earth and we recycled old t-shirts and make new ones with the earth on it…they are soooo cute!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just love the Viva la Vera pattern, I wish I would have grabbed a bag in that pattern at the VBOS last week. I would love to have this earth friendly version.
In the spirit of festivity, I went and picked up two special earthday reusable bags and used them while shopping. Then I enjoyed my complimentary tea from Starbucks when I brought in a reusable mug (and brought my mom along as well!). This afternoon I also intend to plant my tomato plants!
I’m going to do some gardening and plant a new tree!

To celebrate Earth Day, we are going to decorate recycled cardboard boxes for our garage. These boxes will be our recycle boxes for paper, plastic, glass. They do not offer a pick-up service where we live, so we wait until the cute boxes are full and take them to the recycle center. We use the cute VB shopper totes for Newspapers they fit in there perfect.
Earth day is 365 days a year. Changing your lightbulbs to save energy is a super way to help. Using reuseable bags is also great.
Happy Earth Day tomorrow and the next day and the next.
I Love Vera! I plan to not use paper plates to help the earth!
I have my 3 year old “trained” to remind mom to bring the grocery bags in the store. She never forgets so I have the whole family reducing and reusing. It’s so much better than bringing home 10 grocery bags! Yipee!
We plant at least one new tree each and every spring. As always, I use totes for grocery shopping (and would love a beautiful VB one!).
I only hope I am making a tiny bit of difference in our environment!
To celebrate earth day I went to Origins and traded in my empty cosmetic containers to receive a free full size paraben free cleanser.

I’ve spent the week Cleaning out closets and jsut going through everything trying to make it easier to find. I take good items to the Christian Outreach center and trash or recycle the rest.

Not just for Earth Day, but everyday, I recycle all paper, plastic & glass that I can. I carpool to work. I do not have a dishwasher, use a low water washing machine and dry my clothes ouyside on the clothesline whenever possible. Every little thing you can do helps.
using vinegar or baking soda to clean countertops; cold water wash cycle. if i had a bike, i would use it to go to the store with my vera tote!!!
Happy Earth Day! I would like to add the Reuseable Shopping Tote to my collection. I am a busy mother of three children consistently on the go in the car. Using recycle bags at the grocery store show the children that we are trying to keep our planet beautiful for future generations. Turning off lights when not in a room and not running the tap water when brushing your teeth are also ways to conserve energy.

Every day is Earth Day for me. I recycle whenever possible. I recycle paper, plastic bags, plastic bottles and newspapers. Go Green !!

Veras are earth friendly because I will use them forever…and then my daughter will too!

To celebrate Earth Day 2011 our family just planted 2 dogwood trees. We also named some of our favorite things that Mother Nature has given us.
Everyday, however, we use reusable shopping bags at the supermarket and we don’t take bags from shops if it can fit into my pocketbook.
Happy Earth Day!!

For earth day, I am planting 4 willow trees, strawberries, raspberries, and corn at my house and friends homes. Also at my job, I have influenced many of the customers to not use the plastic bags and go bagless or recommended our reusable ones.
Happy Earth Day!
I celebrate earth day every day by recycling and using reuseable bags. Thanks for caring for our future. Happy Earth Day!
Eye appointments for the whole family today and then cleaning out our basement. Lots down there to be donated to our local thrift store. I love Vera Bradley and would love a new tote to take to the stores!!!
I am celebrating Earth Day by using reusable bags when I go grocery shopping, recycling cans/bottles/paper, and by walking to the mall instead of driving. ๐ Yay for Earth Day giveaway!!
Last year, we each planted a new tree in our yard….this year we are enjoying the fruits of our labor with gorgeous pears and peaches growing bigger each day:)
Happy Earth Day & Happy Good Friday!!
We try to reduce our waste by recycling. I also bought a Zero Water pitcher instead of buying bottled water to take to work.
I love anything I can use as a tote bag! I would love to win a VB Shopper Tote to carry around!!
to celebrate earth day, im planting flowers, and getting my yard ready for spring, eather permitting, i will use reuseable bags as i shop for easter, thank you
Love the Vera bag! I always keep my reusable bags in my car so that I can stay way from those plastic things!! This would be a great bag to hold all the others!
I am hanging my laundry to dry rather than using the dryer, and using reusable tote bags.
My family and I are taking long walks and planting seeds!! Cute bag!
to celebrat earth day i will my yard ready for spring plant flowers, and i also will use reusable bags for easter shopping, have a great earth day!
In honor or earth day, we’ve been planting and gardening. We’re also using reusable bags for shopping.
To celebrate Earth Day, I am bringing reusable bags to go shopping!
I bought my first green cleaning products today, ever!
I love the tote! Hope I get one!
Love the Vera earth day bag! The reuseable bags hold so much more than the grocery store bags
my family recycles paper, plastic and aluminum. we also use reusable bags when shopping for groceries. if everyone did small things like that those actions would help with the big problem that is occuring.
This bag is so perfect! Everyone sees the reusable bags at grocery stores, but they all have the store name on them for advertising. Who wants to take bags from one store into another, or have a different set for each store.
I have been looking for fun, functional bags and this one is it. It would be a perfect gift also.
LOVE THIS BAG! I haven’t used regular disposable bags for shopping for over 2 years but hate the ugly green bags I bought from my grocery store. Would love to tote my food in this stylish bag! Pick me Vera! Pick me Vera! Happy Earth Day!
Love this bag!! So adoreable. happy Earth Day!!โฅ
I use reusable bags in the stores instead of plastic bags. I love this tote, I would buy some at my Vera Retailer. I hope they become available!!
At Trader Joe’s and Costco, I only reusable bags! I get reusable bags at the doctor’s office, girl scouts, from vendors at work, etc. Very popular and great for shopping or taking “stuff” somewhere – beach, pool, etc.
Love this bag! I use recylable bags for everything I possibly can.
My family is big into recycling. We even recycle our empty splenda packets! I use reusable bags not just for groceries but other stores as well. Happy to do my part!
I love, love, love the look of this bag. I cannot stand plastic shopping bags. This bag is fashionable as well as being environmentally friendly.
What better way to spend Earth Day than to be outside? My son played in the park and had a blast. Mother nature at her finest is when the weather is good for playing outdoors, at least according to us. Everyday we use a refillable mug for our coffee and a must is the reusable bags for the supermarket. So, what could be better than the Vera reuseable bag? I love the bags I currently have and let me tell you, are plentiful. Plus buying fresh produce from local farms helps too. Happy Earth Day!!
Happy Earth Day! Rain is lightly falling at my Virginia house, while we spread black soil and seed. We discuss what we want to do in the garden now and after the last frost. Earth Day has just hegun!
I’ve been finishing a couple of craft projects using recycled materials and posting them to my blog. I have also turned off the television! My husband is repairing the gate to our garden so we can begin to plant. Happy Earth Day!
I love the Earth Day bag. It is an excellent way to save those trees and the earth!
To do our part on Earth Day, we had planned to buy some trees to plant in our yard; unfortunately, it’s been raining. I like to use reusable shopping bags when I shop, so this Vera bag will be perfect!!
Used my reusable bags today while shopping. Bought a new bag to give my sister her 30th birthday gift in. Makes a great gift bag and also “baby” bag for the babysitters house. Keeps weekly items there no traveling back and forth everyday with different bags.
Hoping to plant a tree if the rain stops. ๐
we planted a tree! and picked up litter along the roadway. have a great earth day!!
Just ordered the other reusable bag online! Can’t wait for it arrive! How do we help the earth? we recycle the water collected from the AC unit and water the garden with it!
We live in Hawaii and the kids are out of school for the Good Friday holiday and we r headed to the beach. Before we have fun we are going to pick up trash, take our own drinks and snacks and recycle our cans on the way back.
Love this bag!!!
I used my reusable snadwich bags and stainless steel thermos today. Soon, I am cleaning my house with my nontoxic cleaners!
Just love the fun and practicality of Vera…what a great way to celebrate Earth Day!
In order to celebrate Earth Day I am cooking my family an local organic and vegetarian meal. Going organic is not only better for you but it is great for the earth because it doesn’t use chemicals on plants. Buying local saves money and fuel. By not eating meat I don’t buy into the awful cattle raising practices in this country. The amount of waste that comes from the raising, slaughtering and shipping of meat is astronomical.
I am planting herbs and tomatoes today. I always use reusable bags when I grocery shop. This one is lovely and happy.
I LOVE using recycle bags for everything -groceries, taking things to friends homes, snacks in the car, ect. However, I have to admit, they are NOT the most attractive things on the planet. So…WOW! This Vera Bradley bag is BEAUTIFUL!! I would be proud to carry this everywhere!
Love the bag! I’d be the envy of all at the Farmers Market!
No paper or plastic for me today! In any form! Well except TP…… hehe. Happy Earth Day!!
I celebrated Earth Day by taking my recycled yoga mat to class and enjoying a peaceful hour of relaxation and visiting Starbucks with me own personal cup for a refill.
We are going to get another tree to plant in our yard for Earth Day ๐
We’re celebrating by doing lots of shredding and recycling today. This would be a great bag to take along for groceries & other small shopping trips. Thanks for the chance!
Since the first Earth day, I hope that I have helped the earth. We have used canvas bags since we made them in Girl Scouts, a zillion years ago. My daughter and I still use the same bags. We both compost all winter long turning garbage into fabulous compost which will hopefully make our summer vege’s grow bigger and better. I have started using rain barrels to eliminate the hose and clean water for my vege’s. We have bamboo floors in our house, because bamboo is a regenerating material. The Vera Bradley bag would go nicely with the nylon bags from Vera that I already use. Boy can you fill a lot of stuff in those bags.
With a Vera bag, going to the grocery store will make my trip colorful.
Oh, how I would love to have this bag !
I always use reusable tote bags when I shop (and I LOVE this one!). We also compost for our vegetable garden and recycle.
I am planting herbs and tomatoes on this beautiful Earth Day. I always use reusable bags for groceries. This one is lovely and happy.
For Earth Day we are spending the day outside working on our yard! Planting flowers, and creating a little garden of our own! We also are going to our local farmer’s market!:)
I am beginning to plan my garden! Nothing like fresh grown produce! The bag is cute too! ๐
Going to the beach with a picnic lunch packed in reusable containers and using a stainless steel water bottle.
Today, even though it was pretty cloudy and rainy, we kept the lights off until this evening when it gets dark. Ran water less, kept TV watching to a minimum and used other re-useable bags while doing some grocery shopping. Happy Earth Day! LOVE LOVE LOVE this bag!
Vera Bradley, helping save the earth one fashionable bag at a time! Happy Earth Day! Every woman can be a super hero and look great while saving the world! ๐
I am brainstorming ways to be more conscious about how to invoke change in my family to be more earth friendly not just for earth day but for everyday! I’ve encouraged my family to use reusable shopping bags and this giveaway is a GREAT idea to encourage others to help save our earth.
We are using reusable shopping bags, recycling, composting, and growing our own vegetables.
What a great bag! Today we’re using our reusable bags and travel mugs!
Planting a papaya tree in my backyard!
Used Meijer bags today for my grocery shopping. Would love to promote Vera Bradley with a Vera tote bag!
I use the reusable bags ever time I shop-sure saves on the plastic ones!
I just Love Vera Bradley Bags! A substitute teacher and school coordinator (various programs) for my sons Elementary School, I am always carrying thing back and forth to school. What a cool way to show everyone that recycling can be fun, by using my Vera Bradley Reusable Bag! Our entire school on Wednesday just had an Earth Day Program, in which grades Pre-K through 5th participated in various activities. We recycle at home and this would be good as well to carry my newspapers and/or junk mail in the recycle bins! Lets continue to help the Earth!!
I am celebrating Earth Day by giving thanks for this beautiful world we live in, and by composting, recycling, reusing and remembering that one person can make a difference! โฅ
I am telecommuting today! We also recycle as much as we can. We use no pesticides on our lawn, and try to keep it critter friendly, and we feed the birds. It’s raining today, so we won’t be doing any outdoor activities, but we are enjoying the birds at the feeders, and also the rabbits in the back yard. The tote is really fashionable. It will make grocery shopping much more fun.
Reusing my bags and planting flowers!
My daughter and I shared saved plastic and paper bags with a local children’s resale shop. Wouldn’t it be GREAT if everyone used VB Shopper Totes! The world would be a more BEAUTIFUL place in more ways than one!
Happy Earth Day! and that should be EVERYDAY! Vera helps with all the wonderful items and big totes that help when I go shopping….I love saying no paper or plastic for me and putting items in my big tote bag!
taking glass jars to the recycling center and getting ready for big Easter feast!!
Re-purposing items by donating things and clothes I no longer use to my local Mission Thrift Store!! A great way to help the planet and help others at the same time!
I am student teaching in kindergarten and we recently did a few activities to celebrate Earth Day. I taught reduce, recycle, and reuse and the children sorted plastic, paper, and glass. Today, we wrote Earth Day Promises, the children wrote promises they are going to make to the Earth. We then put their hand prints in green paint on a blue circle to look like Earth, then we matted them. They turned out so cute! This bag is perfect for Earth Day and the kids would love it if I showed them what I won on Earth Day to help keep our Earth clean.
I always use reusable and cloth shopping bags! And I have been celebrating Earth Day all week by enjoying the outdoors and doing yardwork and taking long walks with my dog in the country while the electricity was out for 3 days due to storms.
I love the shopper tote and use it when I run into the grocery store for just a few items. Today, I used a recycle-made/ re-usable water bottle for my water and ice tea at work!
We planted a new tree in the yard and always strive to use reusable totes for grocery shopping.
Super cute tote!
My friends call me a hippie! I recycle plastic, cans, cardboard, glass and newspaper. I use reusable shopping bags, breastfeed and cloth diaper. To celebrate Earth Day, I am participating in the “Great Cloth Diaper Change.” http://greatclothdiaperchange.com/
we use reuseable bags for our grocerices.
i USED MY REUSABLE COFFEE MUG. wOULD LOVE TO CELEBRATE OUTSIDE BUT WE’VE HAD RAIN FOR TWO WEEKS!!
I absolutely need one these bags to spread happiness and sunshine around this dreary Chicago weather!
The sun finally came out! Gardening, gardening, gardening.
I try to celebrate Earth Day everyday by recycling all that I can, using reusable water containers, cloth grocery bags, composting, buying local produce, etc.
Just recycled my plastic grocery bags this morning. Would welcome a Vera reusable bag. Sure is prettier than the ones I use now.
At my grocery store today, I gave away 300
“green” bags. And, every customer who uses
their “green” bags receives a discount.
Happy Earth Day all!!
My family recycles as much as we can. I did brainstorming with my students today on how they could recycle more in the classroom. Would love to have a reusable shopping bag from Vera Bradley to use around town.
Just recycled my plastic bags this morning. Would love to use a Vera reusable bag. Much prettier than the ones I own now! Love my Vera!
We have been recycling everything that we can in house!
Going shopping at stores participating in Earth Day!
i love earth day because i reminds us to be more protective about our earth and i love the smell of fresh flowers from the garden
Happy Earth Day!! โค
Will continue to use my reusable bags while I shop and hopefully will be able to add one more with the Viva La Vera!
I celebrated this morning with going to Star Bucks to get my free coffee in my travel mug! ๐
I love Vera. I wish that I was better at taking my re-usable bags to the store. I do fairly well with the ones from a few seasons ago that are stuffable – but this bag would look just FABULOUS at my Downtown Farmers Market! ๐
This bag is ADORABLE! Much prettier than the other “green” bags. I would love to use this. Such a great way to celebrate Earth Day!
I’m packaging up homemade soap for a craft show!
To celebrate, i am walking to and from school. I planted some flowers, and tonight im using my reusable target shopping bag
We love Earth Day! We try to make every day Earth Day at our house. We recycle everthing we can; clothes, toys, paper, plastic, etc. All our shopping trips are done with our reusable bags. We have to take care of Mother Earth!
I am doing what I always do–recycling as much as possible, turning off lights my kids left on, drinking tap water, combining errands into one trip.
To bring items back and forth from home to work, working in a long term care and subacute center, I often bring treats to my staff and residents on special occasions….As a nurse, we are always needing to bring work gear, and using carry bags,and what better way then to use reusables…….Save the Earth!
Happy Earth Day. Recycle and reuse, this is a perfect way to do just that. Love this bag.
I would love to sport around this lovely Vera reusable tote and to honor “Earth Day” as well ๐
loooove these! i’m always using this type of bag for grocery shopping, and this print is adorable!
A friend and I have jointly done something on Earth Day for the past 6 years. Today’s weather is not the best, but we picked up litter on the highway for about an hour.
I always use reusable totes and would LOVE to do this with my FAVORITE woman –Vera, of course! ๐
we use refillable bottles, and are spnding time this afternoon using thredup to pass along outgrown clothes
Happy Earth Day! Use my Vera Bradley reusable shopping bags all the time!
I’m celebrating earth day by planting new flowers in my garden. i am also truning off the lights as much as possible and not leaving the tv on. I will also use reusable totes when i go shopping later today. Happy Earth Day!
To celebrate Earth Day, I am educating all my residents that I am in charge of as a Resident Assistant. I am also recycling as much as possible, taking shorter showers, and walking everywhere today! Happy Earth Day everyone!
I spent Earth Day with 22 wonderful students in my classroom. We discussed many different craft projects that can be done with plastic bags. They really enjoyed some pictures of things made out of plastic grocery sacks. They couldn’t believe some of the projects and the results that come of plastic bags. What a great day!
I love the new Vera Bradley reusable Earth Day tote. I have one of Vera Bradley’s reusable totes and I use it all the time. Today I used it at the grocery store, I really need another one because they hold so much stuff. Today I planted 2 of the white pine trees that I gave out to my kindergarten class to plant today. I also planted flowers and cleaned up trash in the woods around my house. I compost my kitchen waste scraps and yard clippings so that I can use them in my garden. I recycle everything that I can so that the earth will be around for my grandchildren some day.
Inspired by a friend, I now refuse shopping bags whenever possible. (I also use reusable ones, but sometimes forget to grab them.) I’ve been recycling our egg carton cups as little food dishes for my daughter’s gerbil, who loves to chew them. Also, trying to convince my husband to install solar panels on our home.
I use tote bags every week for grocery shopping, and one every day for bring breakfast and lunch to work (no plastic bags!!!!) They are GREAT!!!
The weather isn’t too great, here in Pennsylvania. I spent the day buying flowers to help me think spring!
today I will us my green cupcake/nightowl pattern tote from Vera which I love. I also will use my travel mug to get free Starbucks coffee.
Yesterday took the kids out for a nature walk and picked up litter along the way. Today shopped with my own totes (as usual), and planted seeds in the garden. Happy Earth Day!
Happy Earth Day! Recycling oodles of paper today-old phone books, pop cartons, and junk mail. Collecting old coffee grounds to spread on my gardens. Switching to washable micro fiber dust wands instead of the disposable dusters. Keep Mother Earth happy ๐
I planted seeds with my students and my sons.
Earth Day should be celebrated everyday!
Today for Earth Day I am planting trees, flowers and bushes around the house I purchased in the Fall of 2010. I would love to win the cute tote.
With three kids and the economy falling to pieces my family has to treat everyday as Earth Day. We recycle, use reusable water bottles, post notes to remind us to shut off lights when leaving a room, we plant a garden for our own groceries etc…. My family also calls me the “bag lady” because I have such a collection of bags to use over and over again and I’m constantly buying more so I don’t have to continusously use plastic shopping bags. On another note, God didn’t give us this beautiful earth to live on just to trah it. Keep it clean, make it Earth Day everyday!!!!
Celebrate Earth Day Every Day.
I did lots of shopping today for Easter dinner and used reusable bags instead of getting plastic. I also went to Starbucks with my travel mug and got free iced coffee.
Earth Day is everyday
To celebrate earth day I am going grocery shopping using my reusable tote bags, drinking tea out of my reusable travel mug (Starbucks has free coffee/tea today ๐ ) and enjoying this beautiful day outside at the lake with my rabbit Max.
I’ve been laid off from my full-time job and am home during the day, which is unusual. It’s stressful to sit for hours and send out resumes and make phone calls, so I frequently take a mental break to gaze out my patio window. There I see a completely different world of serenity and sunshine, with strong rooted trees and all the colors of green in the universe expertly blended into a canopy above my home. In this time of uncertainty, I’m celebrating Earth Day with gratefulness for the serenity of nature and for those who work so hard to preserve it.
Love Vera reusable tote. These come in handy for grocery shopping. Would love to have one !
Love the look and simplicity of these bags – would love to win one.
To celebrate earth day i am recycling all the plastic bottles i used today and i already use reusable shopping bags when i go shopping to help preserve our earth and keep it in good condition and i never litter
I LOVE THE EARTH ๐
I LOVE Vera Bradley!! My mom and I went to the store today and we used paper INSTEAD of plastic!! ๐ Also, we turn out the lights when we don’t need them on. And always remember………. Reduce, Reuse, and RECYCLE!!!!!!!!!
absolutely adorable tote — never go anywhere without my recycled bags!
Visited the grocery store with my reusable shopping bags! If I forget them at home, I get a paper bag and then save the paper bag to use around the house.
My fi
Love the Vera reusable shopping bag…they make grocery shopping much more bearable!
Love rainy days! Since I can’t go outside, I am cleaning the basement. Then off shopping and dinner with hubby!!
To celebrate Earth Day, my 2nd grade students and I wrote letters to “Mother Nature” telling her how much we appreciate the world we have, and made pledges to her as to what we will do to protect that world. With my five year old son, we wrote a list for the refridgerator of five things we can do every day to help protect the planet. He wanted a “checklist” to “remind him”.
I am a fashioned recycling reusable bags junkie! I have tons of those and I love using them when I go out. It’s fun using them. I like Vera Bradley products too. They’re so girly.
Went grocery shopping with mom using my Eco-friendly bags. Then to lunch at a local bistro which serves only local far, then off to The Paper Store to pick out a Vera cosmetics bag for my aunt for Easter. Would love to give her the shopping bag too!
Happy Earth Day and i love reuseable bags.
Cute, bright, and simplistic. Captures the very essence of summer.
We have beautiful weather in Dallas today! I’ve gone walking and am headed to the store with my reusable totes…but would love a new Vera Bradley one, too cute!!
We celebrate Earth Day every day! We recycle all of our paper, plastic, and glass. We compost all of our vegetable and fruit discards. We donate all of our old belongings to charity rather than throw them in the trash. I am also tyring to teach my 2-year-old about conserving water and electricity. And, of course, we always use reusable bags for shopping!
Working in a the to plant a vegetable and herb garden.
I went to Starbucks with my friends (carpooled to conserve gas) & our travel mugs for free cups of tea & coffee! Happy Spring! ๐
helping my daughter set up a vegetable garden
i love this bag to death! today at school we had a cleanup day so that’s is how i helped the Earth today! ๐
I love being green! Whether it’s using my travel mug to buy coffee with or re-using those plastic grocery bags as small wastebasket bags, I am always searching for new ways to stay green. Re-usable tote bags are not only great for shopping but also to carry extra books especially when you’re a student on the go, it makes a wonderful mini overnight bag for those must-have essentials, or simply as a fashionable bag to use for any occasion. ๐
My family and friends worked on the organic garden we are building in our local high school’s courtyard.
I love my Vera totes!!! I take them to the store and while helping the Earth, I get to use cute bags!
I also take my Vera totes shopping at the mall, I put my purchases in them there as well. I try very hard not to use any plastic bags or even paper bags since I have my totes!
We are celebrating earth day by spending the day outside and enjoying the weather. Even though itโs a little chilly out. Itโs better than nothing though because it has been rainy all week.
Not driving and planting tomatos ๐
Love the new shopping tote. Would be great to use for work instead or using plastic bags to carry my lunch and other miscellaneous items. Sounds like a win-win situation to me. Get to carry a Vera Bradley tote & help the environment at the same time.
I will be celebrating earth day by using my reusable bags when I go shopping today and through out everyday as I normally do. And anything else that may come up that could be done in an earth friendly way. Happy Easter!
I love the bag! I will use my shopper tote to bring food on a mission trip.
The bag is so pretty!! Go earth day!! Reuse. Reduce. Recycle. Lol!!!
I always use reusable totes and bags for shopping and all my errands and craft supplies, but none of them are as attractive as the Vera Bradley ones. I would love to have one.
I just got in from planting with my god-daughterand my son in our flower pots we painted yesterday we planted chives, merigolds and thet “special” seeds which were actually wood chips from the new mulch we graves from the flower shop down the street! They had a blast!
Happy Earth Day! We quit buying bottled water and we also use totes when we buy groceries. We water our garden from a rain barrel as well.
I reuse my plastic water bottles instead of throwing them away!
i used my Ugly reusable shopping bags at Sam’s club. A pretty VB one would be awesome
To celebrate Earth Day we will be using reusing and reducing at our house.
earth day
My daughter and I are working on her recycled bottle cap art for her 4-H project.
We are planting in the garden for Earth Day!
Using my re-fillable water bottle and using my re-usable shopping bags at the store. (I’d love to add this one to my collection!) Car-pooling is a big hit in my neighborhood, too! ๐
Earth day to me is getting down to earth – down in the dirt – planting early flowers around my crocus in bloom. I also started preparing my garden for the year. Earth Day is a day of reckoning !
Just in time for Earth Day!!!! And what a BEAUTIFUL bag it is!!!!!!!!!
I am celebrating Earth Day by riding my bike to work today, and at least 3 other days during the week! ๐
I’m celebrating earth day by using reuseable shopping bags when I shop for my Easter groceries. And really, today, I’ll admit I’m focused on Good Friday and Easter, but I do believe we should take good care of our earth, every day.
HAPPY EARTH DAY! I work in a speech-language pathology clinic where we print a large amount of paper documents. Today, I will not be printing anything to conserve on paper!
Love VERA!
I planted a tree! Happy Earth Day Mother Earth! ๐
I love Market Baskets!! I have one in auburn colors and one in fun, bright colors. They hold so much more than grocery bags and are SO much cuter!
Happy Good Friday! Happy Earth Day! As a School Nurse we did some Earth Day project this week. Today the kids got to take home oak trees they were so excited hopefully some will live. We do alot of recyling projects at school. I love the idea of a Vera Bradley resuable bag. I love the colors and the print! Hope everyone has a great Easter!
My family and I are spending Earth Day appreciating the rain because it is watering our flowers and two trees that we planted last weekend. We love reusable bags and use them when we do our grocery shopping. Love all of my vera purses and would love to add this reusable bag to my vera stock ๐ Happy Earth Day!
I love all of my reusable bags, some call me the “bag lady”. I would love to add this Vera to my collection to show off when I am shopping.
Happy Earth Day Vera Lovers!! ๐
We are celebrating Earth Day by planting the garden and mowing the lawn with our new electric lawn mower.
I always use my reusable bags, to the point that they are tattered. I would love one of these cute Vera Bradley ones!
I carpooled with my sister today…but we do that whenever we go out together.
I always reuse water bottles, use a travel mug for my coffee or a coffee mug and try to use as many reuseable bags as possible! I love Vera and I love taking care of the Earth!
Reusable bags are the only way to go…and stylish ones like this one makes it even better! Love it!
Today I have went to Starbucks, took my own cup from there got free coffee, went to Lowe’s and got a tree to plant and now I’m hear looking for my next bag to proudly use to save the earth of all the plastic we are suffocating it with. I proudly use my reusable shopping bags every time! It might be a small step but if we all would just do this one thing, we could let our earth breath a little easier!
Cleaning out closests and donated tons of clothes, shoes, etc. Also, a few friends coming over tonight to try on/pass along clothes among ourselves ! I of course drink my water from a reuseable thermal cup, take re-use bags to the store, when I shop, and cut off the front of greeting cards to use as gift decor when I give (less waste). My apartment complex has recycle bins for everything – and happily, people comply and toss things in the proper bin. Collected used electronics from friends and neighbors and delivered them to an electronics recycling facility for safe disposal. Love Vera and the design of this tote is very springy and happy ! – CN in NJ
We’re celebrating by enjoying the lovely weather today…bike riding, jumping on the trampoline, and playing outside.
I do my best to use reusable shopping bags whenever I can. One of the best ways is to use them as gift bags. The cost is close to what I used to pay for wrapping paper, bag, tissue or bows which eventually will end up in the trash. The bags are a nice ‘extra’ gift for someone as well as being something that can be used over and over.
Wow!! What a lovely tote bag! The handles look long enough to carry on my shoulder. Thank you for this delightful new product.
I try to make every day Earth Day for our planet earth. I cook at home every day and garden a lot to grow vegetables and herbs. This way there will be less waste. I compost , too.
This bag is so cute! I will add it to my collection of reusable bags. I use them for all my shopping needs. We are a house of recyclers. We have curbside recycling and recycle plastic, paper, glass and more! We take our newspaperrs to the high school which is labeled a “Green school” because of their recycling efforts. This helps them get a little extra money. We donate used clothing and are planting a garden again this year.
Got my Starbuck’s tea in a reusable mug
I love to recycle. And Vera is my favorite bag to carry.
The Earth Day reusable tote by Vera would be Awesome to have!
I have spent the day cleaning out closets and bringing things to the recycling center. Clothes, magazines, papers and junk mail, boxes, plastic bages, old paint and household chemicals. All the things that have built up over the long winter. And of course I have also brought out my Spring Vera purses!!! Yeah Spring!!!!
These shopping bags are so cute. I think it is a great idea to use these instead of the thin, plastic bags stores around here use.
I am celebrating earth day by planting bushes (I try to do this every year) and promoting “going green”. I also recycle everything I can – I got this from my Dad – we gather stamps, cards, can tabs, ect. and send them different places in the U.S. to help out where we can. We also collect all the coupons we can and send them to the troops for their families (even expired ones – they don’t expire for them).
Love Vera! I would so use this bag every day and on Earth day!
Could always use another recycle bag for my shopping!! Happy Earth Day!!
my husband had the day off so we worked out together at the ‘y.’ we moved some unused furniture to our daughter’s new apartment and enjoyed the rain as it is making our earth greener for spring.
To celebrate Earth Day, I gathered with a large group of friends to pick up litter along the walking trail in our community. When we were finished, I walked to my job at the local farmer’s market and spent my shift planting vegetable and flower seeds in the greenhouse.
Awesome bag . ๐
Do some planting and shop with cute reusable bags like this one!
I am celebrating Earth Day by using reusable shopping bags.
We are recycling our electroncis and other household items.
I love this bag…Would love to get one. We use canvas bags everytime we go shopping.
Happy Earth Day , Mother Earth
Love this bag!!!! Always keep reusables in my car for shopping & such!!! Adding a VB bag into the mix always adds a little flare! ๐
Well, I celebrated a day early because we don’t have school today. We took all of the 2nd graders to the local college for earth day activities. My students liked the one where they were sorting items: garbage, reuse, or recycle. I could use the bag to take my lunches to school.
The colors on all the products remind me of sunshine; good days; friends; playing in the sand. The all make me smile.
I love everything Vera! Save the earth with these adorable bags!
I always use reusable shopping bags and would love a Vera one, we don’t seems to be able to find Vera bags around our area.
Happy Earth Day.
I bought a reuseable cup today!
We recycle glass; plastic; metal; scrapes of food; clothing; corks; large food containers and any several others. I am right now separated from my husband and it looks like I might be recycling him back home.
For Earth Day I am going shopping for the 5 bridal showers I need to attend this Summer. I am going to put together a basket of reusables! VB lunch bag, to go coffee mugs (his & hers), grocery bags (with grocery gift card), etc. Love the viva tote!
love this idea
This morning, my 14 yo daughter and I, walked around our neighborhood and gathered litter which resulted in 5 bags collected. When we returned home, she wanted to share what it meant for her so she wrote and created a PSA on Earth day. You can see in on WTKR.com facebook page. Later on today, we saw the movie “African Cats” which a portion of the proceeds goes to support the Wildlife Foundation. What a great way to celebrate Earth Day. ๐
My daughter and grandsons took plastic bags and exchanged them for resuable bags. ‘she has started them at an earily age and I love this about her.
Earth Day is the best yet!!
I spent Earth Day by walking to the store (with an umbrella), using my reusable shopping bag for my groceries, and ordering organic cotton sheets from PB with no shipping charges in honor of Earth Day!! ๐
To celebrate earth day, my family has been colecting our wal-mart, Kroger, etc. bags to keep them out of the landfill until they rip and we have to throw them away.
I would love one of these fashionable bags from Vera Bradley!
Thank you for the opportunity to possibly win one.

We’re giving thanks for all the fruits of the earth–canteloupe, watermelon, kiwi, pineapple, plums, pears, zucchini, squash!
I love using reusable shopping bags. I keep some in my car, in my desk at work and in the house. I use them for more than just shopping. I like getting cute ones.
Happy Earth Day!
It’s so cool that its eco-friendly! love the pattern!
I took my 2 children to recycle and plant seeds. We also used a reusable bag for our shopping. Happy Earth Day!
I’ve started using reusable cup at work instead of using Styrofoam all of the time.
In our family we recycle cans, plastics, glass, paper, cardboard, etc. every day. We also recycle plastic shopping bags and today I got out my cloth bags to pick up some groceries. Thanks, Vera!
recycling my plastic bags. using no serving trays at work.
We celebrate Earth Day at our house every day. My husband carries at least one Nalgene bottle every where he goes and my daughter is a conservationist in the making and insists we recycle. We have decreased the amount of garbage in our house by almost two-thirds!!!!
Took a group of girls to animal shelter today with several bags and boxes of donations, including recycled items to help them raise money. Love the tote!
I used my reusable bags for grocery shopping today in honor of earth day. A new Vera one would be great to use.
I love the Earth Day bag as well as all your products. I will be sitting outside watching the birds and listening to the wind chimes and fountain.
I am celebrating Earth day by taking my mug to Starbucks for a cup of coffee and using my reusable shopping bag for groceries. I love Earth day and to see all of the people helping our Earth by doing little things every day that make it count. I love the Vera shopping totes. They are very trendy and are handy for so many things! I would love to win a tote! ๐

We’re using our re-usable totes at the stores and every time we need a tote. We’re planting flowers today, using fans inside and have turned up the AC, trying to be more efficient with our washing machine load sizes. Happy Earth Day!
I celebrated Earth Day by washing my dishes my hand rather than using the dish washer and I continued to recycle as I have for many years. I love the bag!
To celebrate the Earth today and everday, I use recycle bags for all of my shopping. My family uses a Brita pitcher for drinking at home and for filling water bottles for “on the go”. I use my thermal “to go” cup for coffee every morning. We recycle all our cans, bottles, and papers daily. It is beautiful in South FL today so, I planted some new plants. Hope everyone is enjoying Earth Day!!
I am spending Earth Day in my bed because I am very sick right now. It makes me really sad because it is beautiful outside and I wanted to do the naked bicycle ride around my campus today. ๐ฆ
To celebrate Earth Day: I am reusing my water bottle as vases around the house, reusing old plastic jumbo McDonald’s cups to water the garden, planting more flowers and herbs in the garden, watering the garden in the a.m. and not during the most hot hours of the day, taking a shorter shower, reusing an old lamp that is no longer working as a hanging plant vase, using candles for light, and reading a good book instead of watching t.v. for hours, and also everyday I go to the grocery store, or go to work, I pack all my stuff in my eco bag including my lunch, extra footwear, cardigan, and shades.
Happy Earth Day everyone!
I love the reusable bag!
Love this tote! I would keep it in my car to use for groceries and errand shopping.
Aw thats too cute and perfect for Earth Day! Happy Earth Day everyone! ๐
Happy Earth Day! Reusable totes are a great way to protect our environment and it’s even better when they are super cute!
Just took out my recyclables; used my Twirly Birds shopper last night to tote goodies to a gathering of my girl friends. Always use reusable bags for shopping. repurpose plastic bags for lining small trash cans and using for picking up messes on dog walks.
I use cloth bags at the grocery store all the time. We also have two trash bins in the house – one for regular trash and the other for recyclables. Thank goodness our community recycles!!
I would love to own this tote. The colors are beautiful.
I use my bags all the time and everywhere I go
By using reuseable bags of course! I’m also celebrating watching the rain fall on the thirsty earth instaead of being all bummed out that the sun isn’t shining! ๐
using my reusable bag for lesson planning supplies! happy earth day ๐
i would love to use one of these bags when i am shopping!!!!!
I am very involved in my community and am only 15 & 1/2 years old. At my high school i attend our recycling club weekly and our community green day events. In my community, Perry Ohio, we not only celebrate one day of events, but also a whole week. During the week, classrooms that are not being used are forced to power down ALL electronics and reduce their amount of power being used. Last Monday, April 18th, 2011, 15 students & our community, Lake Metro-parks participated in a beach cleanup and made Lake Erie a cleaner environment. With this cleanup we also tested the amount of bacteria in the water and also the power of the lake’s current. Every week, 3 seniors from my school, go around the community and collect, clean, and sort all of their recyclables. The program has been very successful and our school has received money to go towards scholarships. In my recycling club, every other week, we discuss our paper recycling goals we have met and the goals we need to keep working at. My school has made a huge step towards “going green!” Every student in my school has a school-provided reusable water bottle and are trying to make an effort. Last year we planted new trees and tulips in the landscape to help out mother nature!
I would love to get this reusable bag! I will tell you one thing, it will definitely won’t be sitting in the back of my close; I would use it daily. I would use it at the supermarket and in school, all while reducing my paper and plastic use!
We are putting up storm windows with screens on all of our windows to conserve energy!!!
I am a Starbucks girl…. and to celebrate Earth Day, did you know that you can save ten cents on any drink when you bring in your own reusable travel mug? Throw an extra mug in the car or keep one at work so youโre always prepared for your next coffee run. This Friday you can also bring your travel mug to Starbucks to get a free brewed coffee for Earth Day.
Celebrating Earth Day spending the day with my mom. I would love to have the Viva la Vera tote to use in the kids yoga groups that I lead.
I plan on turning off lights when we are not using them and working in my garden.
Took my daughter to the aquarium and enjoyed the special Earth Day programs about conservation and nature.
I use re-usable shopping bags, re-usable coffee cups and water bottles, and a Brita filter. We haven’t bought a single plastic water bottle in 2 years!
I love these bags! We use them every time we go grocery shopping and to the beach
I always use re-usable bags and would be thrilled to carry a Vera Bradley one!! Happy Earth Day!!
To celebrate Earth Day, my family and I are planing trees from our local conservation office.
Gotta love reusable totes! Wish more places would make people pay extra if they don’t bring their own bags — it’s working in San Francisco!
We are planting trees in the rain while enjoying the beautiful colors of spring!
wore my new Lands End shoes made of recycled plastic bottles in honor of earth day.
Reuse, Reduce, Recycle…Way to go Vera Bradley the reusable bag is so cute!
Every day is Earth Day! We recycle our trash (paper, plastic & aluminum), shop with reusable shopping bags (The Vera Bradley one will be a PERFECT addition!), sticks & yard waste left for our stick/yard waste person weekly, give away stuff that we don’t need/use…stuff like that!
This would be a lovely bag to my “collection” of re-usable bags for shopping. I use these for all of my shopping, not just for groceries anymore!
love my Britta filter
Using a beautiful Vera bag would add to the beautification of this awesome earth….God is so good! Avoiding the use of those plastic store bags and using this Vera bags would help in the protection of our Earth…Let’s take care of this gift!
I love the reusable tote. I have changed the light bulbs in the house and switched to reusable cleaning cloths and sponges. I am trying very hard to cut down on the use of paper towels. I almost never use paper plates. And my husband and I planted 4 new pine trees in our yard to replace 2 diseased ones that were taken down this week. Happy Earth Day!
I love using re-usable bags. Thanks
I always use reusable grocey bags
I spent time taking pictures outside with friends yesterday!
LOVE this bag!!
With the price of groceries going up everyday, at least you can carry them to the car in this pretty bag and it will make you feel so much better about spending the money and you help the environment too!!! I LOVE this bag!
In keeping with Earth Day, I combined several errands into one trip to save gas.
To celebrate earth day I will use my reusable water bottle and remember to recycle!
This tote is a reflection of my life!
Bright, fun, useful and made of recyclable materials!!
Everyday is Earth day at our house! I used paper grocery sacks because they have so many uses beyond bringing home groceries, but this tote would be a great way to save a tree and show the world Vera Bradley Cares!! Thank you for considering me!
I am recycling today and everyday to reduce waste and keep our landfills free of unnecessary waste for our future generations to enjoy “Mother Earth”. I also use reusable shopping bags for my trips to the grocery store and Target.
Cleaning & shopping…recycling bags.
Pretty and green too!
To celebrate Earth Day today we purchased all new Energy Efficient Light bulbs and replaced all the old ones, bought 3 new bushes to plant in the front yard and I had the kids make planters with milk jugs so that we can plant flowers in for their Grandmothers for Mother’s Day. (I had to have some too! )
It’s a Vera…got have one! Shopping would be so fun! ๐
Love, love the reusable bag. It is much more fashionable than the “others”.
Keeping plastic bags out of our home is a new standard. Thanks !
My daughter went to the new Disey Nature film for a field trip. I used reusable bags for shopping trip, recyled newspapers, downloaded a ebook.
No one says in better than Vera Bradley to celebrate Earth Day in Style
I have planted a garden, and plan to put up food for the winter and also share with family. I prefer to use reusable bags like these when I shop and I love to do it with STYLE !!
I would love this reuseable Vera bag SOOOOO MUCH because of the BRIGHT COLORS !!!!! These make GREAT GREAT Knitting bags ! I have had several ladies ask me about my other VERA reuseable bags.
I directed them the Store where I made purchase. “FREE ADVERTISING FROM A SATISIFIED CUSTOMER”.
This is on my VB wishlist! Would be great for college grocery shopping!
It would be so fabulous to carry my groceries home in bags as stylish as my Bridge Tote and even better to help save our earth!!!
I love reusable bags! I have about 15 of them and keep one in my purse, and some in my car! Plastic bags are the #1 source of litter so I never use them, plus these kind are much prettier to look at! ๐
Using my clothe line to celebrate Earth Day….so I suppose I celebrate EVERY time I do laundry!!!!
As an art teacher I am always on the Reuse warpath! I love it when I get donations of newspaper, plastic tubs and containers. If I get more than I can use I share with other teachers or take to the recycling. I also love my Vera because of the colors, patterns and designs!
I am celebrating earth-day and my husband and his daughters with cake and ice-cream. Actually we celebrate his birthday and earth-day each year this way.
Love this tote to carry everything in! I am hoping the Easter Bunny will leave one behind for me!
This tote would make a great Easter basket! That’s what i’m using this year….recycled totes – fun colors, “Cars” for the boys, “Barbie” for the girls, you get the picture. Besides they hold so much more and nothing falls out of them!
Spent the day doing Earth Day fun activities with the my two girls – planting seeds in recycled egg cartons to start them and then plant them in the yard later, and making pretty paper out of old scraps of paper – fun! Recyle – Reuse – Renew!
I started Earth Day driving my hybrid car to Starbuck’s where I got coffee in the travel mug I took in. Then, on to work, where I reused the coffee mug, recycled my plastic tea bottle and all my office paper. After work, I shopped for groceries, and while I did use plastic bags, they will be recycled for other uses. This planet is our only home and we must do all we can to keep it clean and safe.
Great looking bag!
What an adorable way to be “green!”
We celebrate by recycling and using reusable tote bags.
Love the Vera tote. Makes being green even more colorful!
I love Vera Bradley bags and accessories and would make this shopping bag my “go to bag” for runs to the supermarket. The colors are great as is the style!
Would love to win this tote!! Can’t ever have too many bags from Vera Bradley…they are the best! Celebrated Earth Day by working at the library, lending out books and using scrap materials to put a craft together for the summer reading program.
Trying to recycle and teach the granddaughters to do the same. I want them to grow up knowing we all cared and tried our best. We use totes for everything we do. Thank you Vera Bradley for the new cute tote. Can’t wait to get one for the girls to carry. We all love Vera!!
I recycle everything. Also felt sweaters for crafting. Absolutley adore Vera Bradley.
I’m recovering from surgery so this tote would be perfect as I am limited as to what I can carry for the next few months. We recycle and reuse containers from our local deli. We use lights only in the room we are using. We run errands to save gas. We donate new and gently used items to others. I love to wash or wipe clean my Vera bags for longer use!
im celebrating earth day by turning off the lights to conserve energy.
I walk whenever I can, and reuse or “upcycle” instead of throwing things away.
I stayed at home today instead of going shopping!
We celebrated Earth day by planting seeds inside!
That is seriously one of the cutest and brightest and colorful totes ever! Sure would love to “tote” that around with me for Earth Day! ๐ I love Earth Day, even if you don’t really do anything particularly special, it makes you think more seriously about the seriousness of taking care of our planet Earth! ๐
we use reusable water bottles…thanks for an opportunity to win a reusable bag!
For earth day we used our reusable grocery bags, left the car at home and walked, now we are waiting for our fresh herbs to come in from the school fund raiser to plant in the garden. This bag would be great for us.
Happily I stood in a lengthy line, waited patiently, to enter the Vera Bradley store at the Wrentham Outlets. Fabulous prices coaxed me into purchasing a “Vera Bradley” bag. Now I do wish I purchased a Tote but until I do I will have to use the bag my Vera Bradley handbag came inside of as a tote bag. The aura and ambiance at the store was joyful. Such smiling faces and good humor prevailed. Via Vera Bradley!
I planted a tree in my backyard.
What is better than flowers within flowers for spring and summer? This tote is a real eye catcher!
Celebrating this beautiful earth day by planting pretty purple flowers ๐ Happy Earth Day โค
We use reusable bags all of the time. We recycle as much as we can. We enjoyed the day outside today. The sun was shining. It was lovely.
eARTH dAY IS SUCH A SPECAL DAY AND IT REMINDS US TO PRACTICE SAVING THE EARTH WHENEVER WE CAN WE ALWAYS USE OUR CANVAS BAGS WHEN SHOPPING AND TO HAVE A VERA BAG WOULD MEAN SO MUCH TO OUR FAMILY. HAPPY EASTER

I love anything Vera Bradley. Any thing free is like icing on a cake. Please pick me!!!!
I have been dying to get my hands on one of these!!!
We should all practice these natural resource saving suggestions every day, not just on Earth Day. Earth Day is the day we share our love for the planet we live on and remind ourselves that we are all responsible for preserving the earth. Recycle, Reduce, Reuse have been and still are the best three Rโs to preserve the earth. I think itโs wonderful that all the stores are selling and encouraging people to use reusable shopping bags. I have many of them; however this Vera Bradley one is by far the prettiest Iโve seen!
My four year old friend along with his 22 month old sister walked into our town instead of driving, before leaving we colored special Earth Day pages and sang Happy Earthday while we walked. Did I mention everyone wore a bit of green? Everyone had fun!
Love to use reusable bags when I grocery shop and recycle all I can.
I encourage my family to go green by giving gifts in reusable shopping bags instead of wrapping them. But this one is so cute I will keep it for myself!
I just love, love, love Vera Bradley bags!
recycle my old newspapers and work in the garden!
My motherโs birthday is today, Earth day, so in memory of her I planted more tulips in my garden. I love cute reusable shopping bags and I use them in so many ways. I use one for work, when shopping, or for a weekend getaway. I love the pattern of Viva la Vera and it would be lovely to add to my collection of reusable bags. I have so many reusable bags but so many of them are the boring generic kind from the grocery store so it is always fun to get a new one that is patterned and cute!i
Every day is earth day. I work as an environmental scientist, sampling streams for biological & water quality. I use reusable shopping bags, recycle boxes, plastics, and other items. We now drive a hybrid. We open our windows, when is cool enough, to help conserve. Happy Earth Day!
My son and I are going to Lowes to build a birdhouse to hang outside his window. We will also be getting a free tree from their 1,000,000 tree giveaway and then we will be planting it outside his window so eventually the birds will hang out in the tree and live in the birdhouse we build. I can’t wait.
I walked instead of taking an elevator or car, and opened the windows!
We make sure to recycle everything we can, compost food scraps, and use reusable shopping bags.
I LOVE EARTH DAY!!! Now I can have a real shopping tote rather than bringing in used plastic shopping bags that easily rip! REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE โค GO GREEN…or viva la vera ๐
I just love Vera Bradley products! For Earth Day I will spend time outside walking. And thanking God for the beautiful Earth we live on!
I try to use my refillable water bottle and free tote bags as much as possible.
I just love shopping bagst love shopping bags.-s—
I just picked up two more reusable shopping bags for myself at the vera sale to use to celebrate earth day! I love them and would love to have another! i think it is important to recycle and reuse! I also bought some to share :-)! They make great earth/easter gifts for the ladies in my family and my friends!
Thanks for helping!!!
Miriam
I love reusable totes! I also use water bottles that are refillable and recycle with our town.
I know that that Vera saves the Earth because no matter how many I have I never wear them out and have to throw them away. So I never have to send them to the landfill. This saves the Earth. I would love to have the recycle bag.
Love Vera Bradley, Use the reusable totes at all of my shopping. Save a tree. Would love to get this bag, it is awesome.
I will definitely be using my shopper totes today! They are adorable for any day and especially on Earth Day!
We enjoy Earth day both at home and in my classroom! We plant flower with my children and their parents every year and at home we use recycle bags when we shop and my sons love making different things out of boxes!
We always use shopping bags and the Vera Bradley would be a pretty and useful addition.
We celebrated today by planting marigolds and jasmine
I am celebrating Earth Day by turning off unnecessary lights, turning off computers when not in use & using reusable shopping bags!
For Earth day I have been cleaning out our home and donated 4- 30 gallon trashbags of clothes and gently used toys to domestic crisis center for women and children. I still plan to donate more, but that is all I have accomplished so far. Also we are big on recycling cans, magazines, newspapers etc. in our home and I love totes for shopping, they are so cute and nice for all kinds of things. =)
Love this new Color. Earth Day, using special Shopping bags from Publix grocery for all kinds of speacial Jobs Have my Vera Bradley Shopping Bags for special to take with me on the road. Along with my Purse, E-Reader cover Plant a new tree for Earth Day
To celebrate earth day myself and 3 other teachers are in a Caribean island of Central America and we decided to clean up the bay and debri from the water and the town we were staying. At the same time, we we trying to set up the example and we were proud to notice some islanders picking up trash as well.
Flowers for Spring!
What a beautiful way to decorate a reusable bag!
The bag itself celebrates Earth Day!
I always use the same glass for my drink all day long. I also have 2 bags that I like using to get my groceries home,but they are not enough,so I think that the Vera Earth Day bag will make a great bag for for anything I need to use it for.
it’s just gorgeous…and us
and useful too!
My daughter and I planted a couple of flowers today .
If I received some of those beautiful bags, I’d donate them to my students who don’t have a decent schoolbag to hold their books. I think they’d enjoy carrying them.
On Earth Day as well as every other day of the year I carry my lunch and crafting projects in reusable canvas bags.
It’s so darn pretty! Want it, want it…
We spent the day in the beautiful sunshine! Then went grocery shopping at our local co-op market with my reusable bags. My bags are definitely not as pretty as this one!
by turning off all the lights im not using and making my house a little more dark, i make the world a little less dark
We recycle and use rain water to water our flowers
For earth day, I am vowing to use only reusable bags to go shopping from this point forward! Go earth!
Love the bag!
For Earth Day i have decided to pick up all of the trash i see on the floor wherever i go, whether its in a park, at a store, or anywhere on the street. I will encourage others to do the same. I will not only do this on earth day, but will continue to do it whenever i can! I will encourage myself to use eco-friendly products, along with the people around me.
How exciting to see the new Shopper Tote! The Shopper Tote can replace all of the other recycle bags because it is so cheery, attractive, and durable. What a cute gift bag. Vera Bradley is first class. Thank you for all that you do to help us re-use, reduce, and recycle.
To celebrate Earth Day, we are re-committing torecycle daily, use our re-usable shopping bags, and start having meatless Monday.
I love Vera Bradley bags!!!! I would love to see the Chelsey green pattern come back around!!! I also love the reusable bag!
In our household, we always use reusable shopping bags, and we take our travel mugs to Starbucks, instead of using their paper cups.
Not driving when I can walk, reusing what I can, mending things and wearing them out rather than buying new things.
I turned down the heat (Even though it’s 40 degrees and raining here!) and put reusable bags in my car to be ready for shopping (No forgetting them now.), I am car shopping for a more fuel efficient vehicle. Benefits the environment and the wallet (in Loves Me)!
Thanks Vera Bradley! I work in a enviromental lab, great bag to carry to work.
We are celebrating Earth Day by setting up a bee hive so that we can make our own honey!! It is bee weekend!!
We are recycling cardboard, aluminum cans and paper!
I have been doing many things to help preserve our Earth. Besides recycling I use my reusable bags, always car pool, instead of baggies my kids use reusable containers & the list goes on!! Would love to add this bag to my collection of reusable shopping bags!! Happy Earth Day!!
I am a third grade teacher who loves teaching my students about Earth Day/Recycling! The kids think up great ways to help our Earth!
I would LOVE to have a Vera Bradley to carry all my teacher items and go shopping with!!! ๐
I’m celebrating earth day by cleaning up the trash on the beach.
I recycle at home and at work. I even recycle my old Vera Bradley’s! I always use an insulated glass from home instead of plastic/styrofoam when taking a drink to work and use it during the day instead of using the throw aways from the cafeteria. I keep plastic bowls from butter, sour cream, etc and when I send food to people I use reuse them.
To celebrate Earth Day, I used a reusable mug for free tea from a coffee shop. I also used a reusable water bottle and I went to a new, local park to swing for a little relaxation and exercise! It was marvelous!!!
Thanks so much, Vera Bradley, for all you do! I absolutely love, love, love everything you stand for! I have been carrying the recycled totes from a couple of years ago, EVERYWHERE (the pink one & the blue one – both with a big flower in the center). I absolutely love them – I get so many compliments on them – and best of all, they serve a great purpsose. I liked them so much, I purchased 5 of the set of 2! And trust me, I have a use for each one of them!
I carry my lunch in them; I use them as a diaper bag for my 2 year old; I carry my items that I’d usually carry in my purse – now I use them as a simple, on-the-go purse; I use them as overnight bags for my son when he stays the night with my parents; I use them at the grocery store; etc.
So, as you can see, although I have 10 of them, I could really use another one!…a NEW one, with a different pattern!
Thanks, again, for all you do! I love my Veras!!
Recycled some old cellphones & eyeglasses today at an Earth Day Event.
Hello Vera,
i’ve been celebrating Earthh Day all year long. I am lucky to live in Florida where the weather is always nice, sunny and warm. I spend most of my free time outside tendering my orchids ,getting intoxicated by the fragrance of the flowers surround us and enjoying the beauy of nature God create for us and that we always take for granted.
I like your Earth Day bag but may I have a suggestion?
I would like to see if you can use a different material that is more sturdy than the current ribbon?
I am celebrating Earth Day by renewing my Community Supported Agriculture subscription and incorporating all my local farm fresh ingredients into my family’s meals all Easter weekend. I use my reusuable totes for picking up my farm share each week, but they are so pretty they even make nice gift bags.
Despite the windy weather, my granddaughter and I planted our first tomato plant. We call it Nylah’s Garden!! I love her for recycling my life!
I act like it is green day everyday. I recycle and use the reusable shopping bags. I walk when it is within walking distance and carpool.
I use my reusable shopping bags all the time. I keep a supply in my car so I am always ready. I love visiting the local farmers market. I always plan my trips to the store so I am not constantly having to go back for something I forgot.
Beautiful and eco-friendly.
I learned to drive my Prius more efficiently and am now getting 7 more miles to the gallon than I did two months ago!
Not just Earth Day but everyday trying to think of ways of going green. Last weekend we had a kids party at our house that we did a craft with toilet paper rolls.
I am going to start with Mother’s day and use a re-usable shopping bag as my gift bag to put my Mother’s gift in and she will have the gift that keeps giving -because she can use it over & over for herself. Plus if these are used for gift giving the ripple effect can be HUGE! Thanks Vera Bradley
Today I talked to the sweetest person on the phone at Vera Bradley. She was able to put my mind at ease regarding a duplicate tracking number.
For Earth day, I flattened cardboard for recycling and took my plastic bags back to the store collection site. Then I planted flowers.
I celebrated Earth Day by spending the day outside. I enjoyed fresh air and the smells of fresh grass and flowers blooming! This evening I used my reusable bags as I shopped for our Easter Dinner!
My husband and I always celebrate Earth Day, because it’s our anniversary. At the time, we didn’t realize we were married on Earth day, but now we are so glad that it’s on that day. Additionally, it always reminds him that it is our Anniversary, because he always forgets important dates!!! So, we joined a company that only uses Green products and will be purchasing from them. The products include cleaning products to tea tree oil shampoos. We are so glad it was introduced to us!! Thank you, and please help to conserve our planet!!
WE ARE CELEBRATING EARTH DAY BY PURCHASING CORN MADE EASTER GRASS FOR OUR GRANDCHILDREN’S EASTER BASKETS . IT’S OUR WAY OF GOING GREEN .
I received a free coffee at Starbucks because I came with my own cup!! Pleasant surprise!! Also recycled everything I could while preparing my Easter recipes.
love recycle bags, would love one for my daughter.
letting my kids open the cereal boxes to draw inside
I work in a hospital and I encourage my co-workers to recycle everyday. Happy Earth Day!
Happy Earth Day to All!
The rain kept us from doing anything outside today! Drove the car instead of the mini-van to get better gas mileage. Used our reusable shopping bags at the grocery store. I would love to get a beautiful new reusable bag to use when I go shopping!
Would just love to add to my collection of Vera.
I bring reusable bags when I shop; however, none of mine are as pretty as Viva la Vera.
This tote makes being green fun with a touch of style!
We recycle paper, juice pouches, and candy wrappers at the school I teach at!
A wonderful way to celebrate Earth Day is with Good Friday this year! The tote as a memory of this special day is vera, vera nice! ๐
I am celebrating by using my resuable containers, recycling, sharing the news with others, and doing anything else to help the planet!
Making shopping bags out of old clothes – good memories when we will be using the bags! Also planting some more plants in our yard.
Those wonderful reusable bags carried home the Easter candy today. The clerk at the store was thrilled when I told her I brought my own bag. Would love to own another one!
To celebrate Earth Day & Easter, I am making wallets & coin purses with leftover scrap fabrics & re-purposed zippers from old handbags/wallets for my sons & their cousins to put their Easter coins in.
We are celebrating Earth Day by purchasing Corn made Easter grass for our grandchildrenโs Easter baskets . Itโs our little way of going green ๏
Love Vera Bradley and Happy Earth Day ๐
Love it!! So so soooo cute! ๐
My daughter and I celebrated earth day buying seeds for our first garden together. It was a joy to see her pick out the various seeds that she wants to plant both vegetables and flowers.
I use recyclable bags every time I grocery shop and get 5 cents 4 each one used. I would to 2 have the new Vera to add 2 my collection.
what better way to spend earth day than outside! a little brisk here, but a great way to honor our earth!
love it,If the weather would cooperate I would be working in my garden…
I am always encouraging my students to “go green” at the library and try to practice what I preach. We craft great projects out of jeans, packing peanuts, tin cans, paper goods, etc. I always carry my recycling supplies in a reusable bag and my lunch too!
Even though we had rain most of the day we put on our rain gear, boots and walked the road and cleaned all the trash that people threw out on the side of the road and the ditches ! We live in a rural area and it is AMAZING what people throw out their windows. We use reusable shopping bags as well I have even “trained ” my husband and my son they both have them in their car and truck. Have a Happy Earth Day ๐ Love the Vera Bag!
For earth day, we spent a wonderful family day at a theme park. And, the theme at the theme park was “everybody play your part, and keep our earth beautiful”. And with all the coats and stuff I had to carry, I sure could have used the lovely reuseable Vera bag!!
I use reusable bags nearly every time I go grocery shopping – none are as cute as this Vera Bradley bag though ๐
Walking everywhere! Weather’s so beautiful, it’s not hard to leave the car behind and take the extra time to walk into town or run errands. Doing our part for the environment is important, no matter how small.
I had planned to do some work out side however I spent my day in bed after going to the doctor’s. Allergies triggered my asthma with turned into bronchitis. Fortunately caught it before it turned into pneumonia. Amazing that I didn’t develop asthma until I was 58! I hope our awareness and actions now can help our grandkids.
What a stylish way to carry your groceries! I would love to add this to my earth friendly collection of tote bags for shopping!
Love to teach my children the benefits of caring for what God has created! My girls love to carry anything Vera, as do I, and I have 4 pretty little ones that I need bags for. Love this bright and cheery style.
I love the tote. I also recycle,buy green products, I use my reusable totes at the grocery store. I love your bags.
I celebrated Earth Day by hanging my laundry outside to dry. The fresh breeze gave it the sweetest and cleanest smell ever! And best of all, I saved loads of electricity!
I work at a school and this whole week we collected anything that can be recycled.
We donated some household items and planted some tulips. Also, my little son watched Barney in the everyday is earth day show. It was too cute!
I have been recycling now for a long time, it’s very important. I went around planting summer bulbs for people that couldn’t do it themselves. I have been using the recycle bags from the grocery stores. My family laughs when they open my trunk in my car with all the bags in there. We all need to do more. Thank you and I Love Vera.
I have 3 beautiful daughters. 2 of which can not get enough of Vera! They are twins and only 13! Today Earth day is my youngest b-day! Earth day! I always use reuesable bags when shopping and this would be so much more fashionable. My youngest who is 9 today, is hoping the bunny will treat her to her first bag!
instead of printing out emailed coupons, I use my droid phone for the cashier to scan. Not only will I save the $ but also saving the environment with not having to waste the paper ๐
Earth day should be every day! not just today!
I always get compliments on my shoppping bags. Useful and beautiful!
I am celebrating Earth Day by recycling my plastic water bottles and plastic shopping bags.
Everyday is Earth Day at my home. We recycle, compost food scraps and yard waste, use reusable water bottles and reusable shopping bags all the time. Today on earth day, trimmed the hedge in our back yard and mulched the gardens with pine needles. I would love to have a new Vera bag for my shopping trips.
I always try to use my reusable totes when I go shopping, but I will be even more inclined if I can be stylish with my Vera totes!!
I celebrated Earth Day by being outside and enjoying the beautiful day!
Vera makes going green more stylish!
It is a tradition in my household to do yard work on earth day. Time to get the gardens ready for the summer months. We weeded, mulched (with pine needles), trimmed bushes and the hedge. The job is not complete but we did as much as we could in one day. I hope to win the Very shopping bag to add to my collection of recycled shopping bags.
Oh my goodness! This is so adorable!
I want it!!
As the mom of 2 toddler boys, I can use all the ‘girliness’ I can get. Vera makes me feel feminine and special! It’s a double win if I can help preserve the earth too.
Recycled…love these bags sooo much, use as gift bags for wedding shower gifts so the bride has a reuseable bag that happens to be a Vera!!!
i am using my reusable cup at work, to have water to drink, instead of using a plastic bottle.
Celebrated my earth day babies birthday today! Love recycled shopping bags and so glad to see that Vera Bradley is helping us to be green in style.
Love helping save the earth Love Vera Bradley, passing Earth Day on to my Grandson planting new trees.
LOve Vera Bradley. Linda Gerig
I’m celebrating by seeing the movie “African Cats” this weekend!
When I shop I take my Vera Bradley large tote for my purchases instead of the store bage…save a tree or a petroleum field.
What a great way to honor Earth Day with this bag. If I don’t win one, I will definitely buy one.
I taught my kindergarten class how to recycle. We recycle paper and plastic in our room. They even help to bring the recycle bin to the school recycle conatiner.
For Earth Day, I am laying in bed sick.
So, in a way I really am helping the earth, by not driving or really moving much. ๐
I love my Vera bags, and I always forget to take the store brand reusable bags with me when I go shopping. Now I can keep Vera reusables in the car and be stylish and green at the same time! Love it!
Getting the garden ready for planting soon. Adding compost and turning over the soil. Soon little srpouts will be shooting up through the earth and providing for our family and friends to share
I celebrated earth Day by shopping and using totally re-useable bags for everything I purchased and toted!! I did go into my local Vera Bradley store ,(90 miles away) ,and drool over the new V Bradley designs and patterns. Unfortunately, I used so much money in gas that I couldn’t afford to buy the Vera Bradley bag this time!
would love to have it!!!
Earth Day is one of my favorite holidays because of the simplicity of it, and I just love helping out in whatever way that I can. Today at school I will pick up plastic bottles lying around the soccer fields, take them home, and recycle them. I will also use as little plastic as possible by using re-usable dishes and packing my lunch with all plastic containers.
Helped my baby explore his senses by showing him how awesome the earth is… picked mint from our garden, smelled it, and ate it. Happy Earth Day!
All the girls at work have various VB bags! I’d love to be the first with this one ๐
Hello…I recycle at home and in the classroom. I’m teaching my Kindergarten student why it’s important to reuse and recycle, and also how to conserve.
We’ve saving to help pay for a bus to go to the Getty Museum in L.A.
I would love to win the bag.
I celebrated Earth Day by going to the local zoo with my family and enjoying the beautiful weather! My mother, sister, and sister-in-law all carried their Vera Bradley purses. My sister-in-law and I both had our baby bags. We also had wallets, a coin purse, a tech case, a lunch bag, and a baby bottle bag. In all I think we had 12 Vera Bradley pieces with us on our trip to the zoo! We love Vera Bradley!
THERE ARE MORE WAYS TO USE LESS.BE FRIEND WITH EARTH.
I celebrate Earth Day everyday, not just on this one day. We recycle everything we can, use refillable water bottles, always use tote bags at stores instead of the plastic bags available. Lunch is always in a lunch bag with plastic containers instead of plastic bags. It has become a life-style.
This is such a pretty bag….I love using the reusable bags for shopping…much more durable and prettier to look at when you are carrying them.
My wife’s birthday is coming up in a week and she would love this Vera Bradley reusable bag…..she already has a nice Vera Bradley purse and would love to have this bag too. We recycle everything and really enjoy saving the environment.
My husband and I went for a nice long walk and we took all of our cans and bottles and recycled them today…..we even carried them in our reusable bags……would really love to add this bag to our collection.
Every day we bring things outside to our compost pile and always bring our reusable bags with us whether it is to the grocery store or on a day trip…..would love to add this beautiful bag to the collection.
Every Earth Day I start working on my garden and hope that I will have a great batch of fruits and vegetables for the upcoming season.
Walked to work for Earth Day.
I don’t like plastic bags, I would love a beautiful bag to transport my groceries to and from the store
On Earth Day, I took my little sister and we spent the entire day outside. First we went to pool to just relax and then we went on a nice walk to the park and spent some time there. I didn’t do much to give back because I live in an apartment so we can’t plant gardens or anything, but I did help my boyfriends mom with her garden later that evening!(:
I use reusable bags every time I go to the grocery store. Hate the plastic bags.
I went shopping with my re usable shopping bags. I love coming home from the grocery store without those awful plastic bags.
I would get a lot of use out of this!!!!!
We’re hosting a community dinner utilizing only local and organic ingredients.
Being a teacher means carrying bags back and forth every day to school. Nothing better than a Vera Bradley collection to meet the needs of all teachers! On Earth Day, stay out of your car, drink some Brita water, and plant some perrenials!!
Happy Birthday, Mother Earth…you sure know how to rock the world! Trying my best to be as great a Mom as you are!
p.s. Thanks for your many gifts
I love reusing empty jars and containers for scrapbooking supplies and I have several to re-purpose and recycle.
I celebrate Earth Day EVERY day – I always use a travel mug for my coffee/tea – never use plastic or paper bags when shopping – always reuseable bags – turn on lights only when necessary – grown my own vegetables and use the car as little as possible. Mother Earth – you have been very good to us!!
We recycled 100 plastic bottles, instead of driving places we rode our bikes to them, and we also used the recycled bags for food and other things instead of the plastic bags that could damage sea life if an animal accidentally ate it.
Our plans worked out well and by not using plastic we savid the lives of many animals.
PLANT A BUSH
I celebrated Earth Day a few days early by going to a clothing swap!
Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle!
Pick a little weeds and do a little planting:o)
Vera, I love your bags. I have found many green uses for them. Thank you.
I have 2 of these recycle shopping bags. I LOVE THEM!!!! They are very strong and hold a lot. Keep them coming.
Earth Day and I have something in common. Its my birthday. Im well I wont tell how young I am. LOL
This is an adorable tote! I’ve been using totes for my groceries and target runs for some time now! Love going Green!
We celebrate Earth Day everyday. We use Unpaper Towels, Cloth Diapers and Reusable Bags. Thanks for the giveaway!
I teach my students– through math lessons– how much they can save and protect the planet ~ through simple strategies. We plot or graph their interventions and results. I see that I have planted an important seed… a nice green one. It has been heartwarming. We recycle at our middle school. Around campus, there are garbage cans labeled as specific containers for ‘paper’ , ‘plastics’ , & ‘cans’. The student body adheres well to the program!
We’re enjoying the first sunny day we’ve had in awhile. Spring yard clean up and bird watching.
We have been tilling our compost pile into the ground to prepare for planting vegetables. And I love my Veras in bright colors. They make me feel like spring!
I keep reusable grocery bags in the trunk of my car so I can “grab and go” when I go to the grocery store. Also, when we had to have some trees removed from our yard recently, the tree service chipped the trees and “shot” the chips into one spot in our yard. We now use the chips for mulch around other plants in the yard.
I use reusable grocery bags whenever I go to the grocery store. Plus, I use an aluminum water bottle to reduce plastic bottles!
I just bought refillable travel water bottles for all my friends!
Just a suggestion to everyone out there. Instead or purchasing gift bags, I use reuseable totes as the gift bags.
I use re-useable bags everyday. To incorporate something new, we are recycling at work!
I ride my bike instead of driving to the store and always carry a reusable bag.
Love it, Need it !!
I am not only being earth friendly but I am getting very stylish, and so is my 86 year old mother who I take shopping every Thursday. She says that it makes her feel like a movie star when she leaves the grocery store. I like them because they have long handles and they make it easier to carry and put more in. The colors are fabulous and I wouldn’t go shopping anywhere without them. Say goodbye to plastic and paper bags and say a big HELLO to VERA BRADLEY TOTES!
I took my circle handled tote to the dedication of our medicinal garden http://www.northampton.edu/Northampton-NOW/Tribute-Garden-Dedication-2011Marks-Fourth-Year-of-Growth.htm Seeing the idea go to a ground breaking at Earth Day 2010, then to this, was NEAT!
Love the color of Viva la Vera! So pretty!
Cloth Diapers!!!
Would love to do my grocery shopping with this!
I love Vera!
For Earth Day 2011, I do everything that I normally do all year around since I am the biggest “green” person I know ๐
I always take my own bags to the any store (some stores give you a discount for doing that) I took my re-useable mud to Starbucks for tea, I took all of my cosmetics and skincare empties to origins (which I do all year around)
The best part is I had more in my recycling bin than my regular trash. The recycling guys gave me a compliment that he wished all my neighbors cared as much as I do about recycling and keeping the bin organized. I LOVE earth day so much but I do things to help keep the Earth “green” at least 3 times per day. Most people think I am silly for collecting and savings recycling from work just to being mom ๐
I wish everyone would recycle and reuse as much as possible not only for freebies or Earth Day for for themselves and especially for Mother Earth !!!
Thank You
xoxo
I love the Viva la Vera pattern! Would match my Alice Handbag.
On Earth Day I planted lettuce, basil, tomatoes, cucumbers, marigolds, bluebells, tulips, and daffodils. I also took a short shower, rode my bike in the park, drank water in the park using a reusable water bottle, put out our bins for recycling where the truck picks them up, went grocery shopping for my mom using reusable bags, and ate an organic lunch. I would love to win this bag because I could carry my groceries in style while being green. ๐
I like to use the Re-usable shopping bags, recycle cans and bottles, clean the yard, and limit amount of trash being thrown away.
Earth Day is not a day to celebrate once a year. It should be celebrated everyday of the year! In our house, we do this by recycling our papers, plastics and cans as well as using reusable shopping or tote bags when we do any type of shopping. Its one small way to help keep the earth healthy. =)
So cute! I always take reusable shopping bags to the store.
Every morning I get my travel mug refilled at the coffee shop, then I slip it into my recycled/reusable shopping tote–and I walk to work. Earth Day is every day for me.
How fitting! I was just thinking of getting new Vera bags to replace my ripped grocery bags!
I always use my refillable water bottles and insulated mugs everyday.
I love Vera Bradley products, and this bag would be a great addition to my collection and would be a great way to celebrate Earth Day.
I carry Vera Bradley products all the time as do all the female members of my family. I would love to update my current VB tote with this one. I celebrated Earth Day by using regular plates instead of plastic in the cafeteria.
while having company today we will be using cups that i can wash instead of throwing cups away. we will also be dying eggs and playing board/card games instead of watching tv.
I love this bag!!!!!!!!!!! What a great way to help save the planet!!!!
I also keep reusable bags at hand in my car.
I celebrate Earth Day everyday. I only use my refillable Tervis mugs for water and coffee and have recently started car pooling and walking more when possible for cleaner air. I am also teaching my college daughter to use reusable bags for grocery shopping as well as general shopping and this tote would be a great start as she loves Vera Bradley items and is always up on the latest designs.
I celebrated Earth Day by teaching my students about the importance of taking care of our Earth. I would love to use one of these totes when I go shopping instead of using plastic bags ๐
I am a teacher, and we celebrated by being “earth protectors”. We went a “earth walk”, each kid had a glove, the teachers had bags and we gathered trash that was laying around/
I use reuseable bags for my grocery shopping, now I can have a Vera bag for real shopping.
I love my Vera bags and use them constantly! I am a girlscout leader. Me and my co-leaders utilize the bags to carry our supplies in as we teach the girls the importance of re-cycling. The girls have been learning ways they can help mom and dad conserve water, and electricity at home. Also ways to help the environment by planting.
Who were the winners? Just wondering ๐
Hello, And Thank you for your time ~ In honor of Earth Day… and everyday we are given to be a part of this wonderful World that God has created… we need to think of Small & Large ways to not harm the beauty of what is around us ! I just found out about VB, hand bags & acces. They all have beautiful patterns & designs.. Our Ladies at Church are all ” Catching” on . I recycle, buy recycled… use the ” Green” bags… Sometimes they are not as strong as this one looks ! I am on a fixed income, Socl. Scr., so I have to save for a while to get one of your wonderful items… I LOVE that they can be washed ! Thank you so very much for your consideration ! And everything we do, if even in a small way is important !
We didn’t use paper products, but instead used washclothes, reusable bags, etc. Also planted in my garden and let baby play in the dirt. ๐
Definitely French-inspired! ๐
I work with adults who have disabilities. We have a current events class or some type of education class every Monday. We start talking about Earth Day at the beginning of the month and ask our clients to start thinking about what our “project” should be. I have to say, most ask to plant flowers and/or vegetables from seeds. This year we are planting herbs (dill,parsley&chives) and vegetables (tomatoes). We are also planting 2 sapplings . Why two you ask? We have been at our new facility for two years and the clients thought it would be nice to replace a tree or two that were removed from that piece of land. The final decision was today. The clients will going out to purchase the seeds & sapplings this week. I can’t wait to see them sprout!
Thank you for your time,
D
I love the earth day bag! We use reusable bags all the time!
