Brooklyn —
DUMBO’S got a brand new bag.
The DUMBO Business Improvement District is handing out free reusable canvas bags to the neighborhood’s 1,300 households – and some storeowners are offering shoppers incentives to use the environmentally-friendly sacks.
“The plastic bag situation is terrible for the environment, and we know that paper bags are equally as taxing,” said Anna Castellani, owner of Foragers Market on Adams St., where shoppers who bring a reusable bag now get 10 cents off their bill.
