In a previous post I mentioned how the United Nations were asking for a ban on disposable shopping bags. These bags are adding to the total waste and are found in many oceans and have a negative affect on the plants and animals that live in the water.
The best way to really get people to abandon the disposable plastic bags and use the reusable totes bags is to make them affordable. To easiest way make something environmentally good become mainstream is to have a positive impact on the pocket book.
Walgreen’s are having something that will have a positive impact on the pocket book. A coupon in the Walgreen’s’ sales paper allows customers to purchase 3 tote bags for $1.
