‘Green’ Idea at newsXpress Nambour

Lisa the store manager at newsXpress Nambour recently asked the newsXpress marketing department for a copy of the ‘say NO to plastic bags’ artwork.

Little did we know what they had in store for it! As you can see from the photos a very creative mind has transformed our branded re-usable bags into cute little turtles to tie into the environmental message we have been supporting.

Great innovation often is often the result of good ideas and enthusiasm as shown in this example.
