No mo' Plastic Bag has been put together by Virgin Challenge non-profit

Virgin Challenge is a non-profit public benefit organization with tax exempt 501 (c) 3 status that is the non-profit division of V dimension (Use Me, Modern V Fine Art, Design 555 and Vektor Edge Corp). This non-profit organization was started to help transform the thinking of people towards eco-minded projects. Our first project is aimed to help the merchants of Paia extinguish the use of plastic bags and take steps toward zero waste thinking with re-usable bags. Founded by the President of V Challenge, Robynne Riley and Vice-President Abe Vandenberg the organization has been successful to execute the first proejct. We are so thankful to have the support of printer Mark Williams and Dragin' Ink to print our bags and all the volunteers who help (Kiva, Marie-Laure Ditte, Victoria Cordova-V challenge director, and Robynne). We are also increadibly grateful to photographer Coe Huston and the following artists who volunteered their time to paint the first circle bags to help us get started (Lori Koprowski, Robena, Tim Garcia, Lauren Harris, Lori H., Pete Cabrinha,

Janet Davis, Tami Snodgrass, Jan Kasprzycki, Jaisy Hanlon, Andrew Angulo, Ray Masters, Peter Max) and to the celebreties who signed our first bags (Jack Johnson, Woody Harrelson, Willie Nelson, Laird Hamilton and Robbie Naish). We would like to extend our appreciate for the support from the Paia merchants and the Paia Merchant Association who are helping to discouraging disposable bags all together. We only need to do a little more fundraising through receiving donations for our first shipment of JUTE re-usable bags and organic cotton bags to break even on the first project in be at a great starting point to start fundraising for our next eco-project!
