Reuseit.com Launches new Website to Lead the Reusables Revolution

Oct. 15, 2010 - PRLog -- Chicago, IL - Reusablebags.com, the pioneer in the reusables movement, today announces the launch of its brand-new site, reuseit.com. Over the past decade, reusablebags.com brought the plastic bag pandemic to national attention and is now leading a reusables revolution to educate consumers about living a life of more conscious consumption. The launch of the website is timely, as people seek to find solutions to address both the lagging economy and the environmental impact of use-and-toss, disposable products.

As a hybrid site (part information hub, part store), reuseit.com empowers people to self-educate and save money while helping the environment. People will also find thought leadership and get all of the latest news and facts on consumption issues. With more than 1,500 items in the store, reuseit.com is a one-stop-shop for a range of high-quality products that support a reusables lifestyle.

“More and more people are interested in practical, conscious consumption, and there is a growing demand for resources to help them make the right lifestyle changes,” said Vincent Cobb, founder of reuseit.com. “We’re building on the pioneering legacy of reusablebags.com to fill this need as a hub for the reusables movement, helping people live the good life – a simpler, waste-free lifestyle.”

The site has a fresh, new design that’s easy to navigate and includes:
1 - a new DIY (do-it-yourself) section to help reduce consumption in creative ways.
2 - a new “Shop by Disposables Replaced” feature that helps visitors search for products in an innovative way; a great tool to help identify some single-use items many people may not have even thought of replacing.
3 - Fast Facts
4 - Myth-busting articles
5 - Expanded categories such as home, office, kitchen, cleaning, beverages and lunch in addition to the most comprehensive selection of reusable bags on the web.

To date, the company has empowered its nearly 240,000 customers to eliminate more than 900,000,000 use-and-toss items like bottled water, paper and plastic bags, and paper towels, and more.

Not only do the site’s products and information support environmental consciousness, the company also donates one percent of all sales to environmental and social causes through 1% For the Planet. For more information visit www.reuseit.com/about-us.
