Just think about the journey your bagged ice makes from the ice plant to your glass or cooler. It is distributed by a machine, then bagged, loaded onto a truck, handled by a delivery person, rearranged by convenience-store clerks and handled by customers. Energy consumption, trucks on the road causing traffic and plastic bag consumption will all be reduced by choosing Mr. Nice Ice. We estimate that picking Mr. Nice Ice will reduce the carbon footprint of the current central ice factory model by at least 85%. Furthermore, our bulk dispensing feature  conveniently gives the option to use your coolers and water jugs, saving plastic and the environment. Bagged Ice is still available with our bags conveniently located( at no cost )in the machines vending porthole.
