Good find. I was just researching about customer response to reusable bags. Doing a marketing project on reusable bags.

Great article Janice. I’ve always wondered though, what’s in those bags some of the stores sell with their own logos? Hopefully, they’re made of old soda bottles or tires or something like one company I heard about. My preference: bring one of the trillion old totes collecting in my closet from conferences and environmental organizations (now I’ve stopped accepting them). If you bring your own bag to Trader Joes, you are entered into a raffle for a bag of groceries; love it. For those of you working on greening a meeting, you might think about hosting a “tote bag exchange” instead of buying a nylon or cloth tote with the conference logo. Everyone is encouraged to search their closets, bring an old tote(s) and exchange it with someone else. You can even make a networking activity out of it. It was a big hit at a conference I planned last year and now we’re working on “bring your own thermal coffee mug.” (Sorry, I’m a bit off topic.) And Janis, I keep my bags in the FRONT seat ’cause I’ll forget them too. Once it’s a habit, you’ll not forget again!

I think it’s wonderful that you bring your own bag – more power to you (not to mention the entire planet, thanks to your recycling). Maybe you’ll have a suggestion for me: I carry a bag around in the back seat of my car … then forget all about it when I go to the store! Sheesh! Any ideas?
