Be 'Tote'ally Cool! Reduce plastic bags!

Now that you shop every week at the Wayne State Wednesday Farmers Market, why not bring your canvas or other reusable tote bag to the market?

Don't shop every week? Keep a bag in your office for when the impulse strikes!

Have extra tote bags languishing at home? Drop them off at the SEED Wayne tent. We will distribute them to shoppers for free.  Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle plastic bags at your farmers market!
