GARBAGE BAG ART WORK (C) MAQ inc.

A famous Japanese illustrator designed a garbage bag featuring a picture of Oscar the Grouch from Sesame Street. The bag is being used by the Eco Kids Project that began in August 2008 in Japan. These garbage bags are not available for purchase but are provided free of charge to schools and other organizations that request them.

Garbage bags from the "Mottainai" ("What a waste") environmental campaign, meanwhile, feature pictures of animals with tearful faces. Part of the proceeds from the sale of these bags is donated to tree-planting activities.
