### California-made Jendarling a line of sustainable travel bags, today announced its Bondi Bag, benefiting the Surfrider Foundation.

SAN FRANCISCO – May 17, 2011 – The Bondi Bag spreads awareness about plastic pollution’s
damage to beaches and marine life. Each sale directly supports the Surfrider Foundation’s
mission to protect oceans, waves, and coastlines. Even more, it strengthens their
Rise Above Plastics campaign.

Shoppers can choose black or royal blue. The retail price is $15. From every sale,
$1 (black) or $2 (blue) goes straight to Surfrider programs. This support helps 
reduce plastic waste and keep beaches clean.

## The Bondi Bag

The Bondi Bag balances strength and purpose. It’s made from rugged 210-denier nylon.
A self-locking closure, clear plastic pocket, and the bold slogan “Reduce Plastic
Save A Beach” reinforce its message.

To boost impact, each bag includes a co-branded Jendarling–Surfrider hangtag. It
also features a reusable postcard that educates users about beach preservation and
the harms of plastic debris.

Altogether, the Bondi Bag stands for action, not just awareness.

### Bondi Bag Highlights:

 1. Reusable, water-resistant, and breathable
 2. A smart alternative to plastic garment bags
 3. 22 x 38 inches in size

 5. Proudly made in the USA

Each bag is a simple yet powerful step toward a cleaner coastline.

### Marine Plastic

Plastic is the most common type of marine litter worldwide, and according to the
United Nations comprises up to 90% of floating marine debris. Plastic does not biodegrade,
rather it breaks down into smaller and smaller pieces, often being mistaken for 
food by marine animals. The United Nations estimates that 100,000 marine mammals
and one million sea birds die every year from ingestion of or entanglement in plastics.

### In Summary

The Bondi Bag is more than just a stylish garment bag—it’s a purposeful choice for
eco-conscious travelers. Built of rugged, 210-denier nylon and anchored by the powerful
reminder to “[Reduce](https://greenlivingguy.com/2010/12/recycle-plastic-bottles-a-simple-step-for-clothing-sustainability/)
Plastic Save A Beach,” it replaces single-use plastic while educating users about
the devastating impact of plastic pollution. Each purchase—$15 per bag, available
in black or royal blue—channels $1–$2 directly to the Surfrider Foundation’s impactful
programs, including the Rise Above Plastics campaign, ensuring your investment goes
toward cleaner beaches and healthier oceans.

More than a product, the Bondi Bag is a statement: every time you use it, you’re
joining a collective effort to curb plastic waste and protect marine environments.
Plus, with its reusable postcard and co-branded hangtag, it prompts ongoing conversation
about conservation and sustainable living.

Durable, reusable, and socially responsible, the Bondi Bag is a simple yet powerful
step toward a cleaner, plastic-free coastline.
