Celebrate Earth Day and Win a Reusable Shopping Bag!
Every time you go to the grocery store, you’re probably good for five or six plastic shopping bags. And going from store to store on a Saturday morning filled with a list of errands, the mountain of plastic bags can really add up. So besides the fact that plastic shopping bags are not environmentally friendly, they take up unnecessary space in your house and are just incredibly wasteful. So what to do? Enter the reusable shopping bag!
Now instead of a collection of plastic bags, I have been slowly amassing a collection of reusable shopping bags. Whole Foods sells them, along with IKEA, Trader Joes, A&P, Shop Rite and tons of other retail establishments. In fact, this week you can get one free for the asking at Wal-Mart’s Customer Service Counter and you can also get a free one at Shop Rite if you buy two bottles of Clorox’s new greener cleaners, GreenWorks. If everyone used their own reusable shopping bag just once a year, we’d keep billions of plastic and paper shopping bags out of the waste stream and save about 60,000 trees.
And now you can even get a free one without ever leaving your home, simply by taking this quiz on Earthbound Farm’s website and testing your eco-friendly prowess. I just got a perfect score … your turn!
