Hello, Hello, Lovelies, this campaign ended 24 hours before Valentine’s Day ’24 & it has been our Atlas pleasure to cr8 this Love Seed 2gether over the span of 90 days. You will soon get updates about how this baby will grow, once we plant it. Meanwhile, everything stays the same on the website – so, go on a site tour to understand the concept, the mission, the purpose, the dream, the legacy, or however else you’d like to call it …  maybe the good game ; ) which by the way, is ongoing & everyone can play it! Yay! Thank you!

SPRING ’24 UPDATE -> to make the story short, not much money was raised (around $700), and there were expenses as well, however, some bags were still purchased and attempts have been made to find a deli that would (1) accept the gift AND (2) promise to align with the active ban on plastic bags.

Did not find such a deli, so the attention was switched to the other side of the small stores counter – the New Yorker, the tourist – the customer! Therefore, some foldable bags were given away at Earth-related events in the first part of the year, and the concept* was advertised in a one-month long art show in Manhattan… ->

“It is just a plastic bag” is never the right statement*. Please click here to watch a short powerful video.

Just like this video is 14 seconds long, one empty foldable tote bag must weight no more than 14 grams -> meaning that we are looking at a short telling video, and at a very light (barely perceivable when folded), yet significant bag.

The best way to wear the foldable tote bags, or the Ideal Recipe, is the following -> hang them folded around the belt area or purse/backpack, and keep them on at all times!

That way people will never be caught empty-handed at store check out, and they will advertise the concept each time they’re out and about. These bags were nicknamed Compassionate Earth Fashion because they should be worn at all times, just like any other Fashion Accessory! However, unlike most fashion that we choose in order to keep us warm or to make us look good, these are not only practical, serving us, but they are also 100% serving the planet!

SUMMER ’24 UPDATE – School children were gifted foldable tote bags before graduation. The importance of the foldable bags together with the importance of the persons who wear them were both highlighted; so was love for Earth & love for New York City – and then the kids were introduced to the unsolved Earth-related quiz printed on each bag. Meanwhile the quiz video was created! 

SEPTEMBER ’24 UPDATE – More bags with the quiz went to New York school kids. 

This is the end of the 2024 updates – fall just started, so let’s see what’s next!

The following text pertains to the winter 2023 campaign that made the bags donations possible, and introduced the campaign to the public.

This is a crowd funding campaign launched on November 15 ’23, on the one year anniversary since the world population became 8 billion!

Donations will go to buying starter kits of reusable bags which will be gifted to a few NYC delis interested to make the switch from offering free plastic bags to selling reusable ones. The profit will be theirs to keep & will allow them to buy more eco-friendly bags.

Highest 24 donors will receive one hand painted t-shirt each. One type is inspired by the pigeon in the video, and one is a quiz. The answer will be revealed after the campaign is over, however, not right away. Stay tuned!

Other donors will receive one collectible hologram pendant from the 80’s per person – see tiers & donate on the campaign page.

Regardless if they don8 or not, everyone is invited to nomin8 their deli under the deli post on Instagram @WeAreAtlas238

Delis can nomin8 themselves.

Let’s Make It Happen!
