In a promotion for reusable bags, two of America’s largest retailers, CVS and Target, have developed cash incentive programs for customers that opt out of disposable bags.
Target started with a pilot program earlier this year in 100 stores, in which customers received a 5-cent discount for each reusable bag they brought. The project resulted in a decrease in plastic bag use by 58 percent. In light of the success, the program will go nationwide in 1,700 stores on Nov. 1.
CVS will offer a higher discount, but you have to be a member of CVS’s ExtraCare rewards program. For 99 cents, members will get a leaf-shaped Green Bag Tag card, which can be attached to a reusable bag. The card will then be scanned at each purchase. After every fourth shopping trip, a $1 Extra Buck coupon will be printed on their receipt. For more about this story go here.

“What really gets a lot of people to purchase this is that one (of our bags) can save approximately 1,200 grocery bags, and when it’s done you can throw it in the recycle bin, entering it in a chain of recyclables.”

Bringing your own bag is now the trendy way
Manhattan Beach resident Doug Lober began selling Chinese-made reusable shopping bags through his Internet site ReuseThisBag.com
Reusable bags have become trendy, with companies and groups handing them out for free at festivals and other events to promote themselves.
The popularity of reusable bags has created a niche industry of suppliers.
“This was supposed to be an environmentally fun thing I would run that would be two hours a day, and it’s scaled to a 10-hour-a-day monster,” said Lober, whose office is in Redondo Beach. “I barely have a minute to breathe, man. I couldn’t handle it, so I hired a sales guy.”
Slowly but surely more states are showing their ‘green underbelly’ this year and more are sure to follow. After all, not only is our environmet in peril, it trendy and feels good. New York City may follow this international trend and crack down on plastic shopping bags, seeking to cut their use with a plan officials hope will be a model for other cities. Proposal introduced on Monday requires stores larger than 5,000 square feet to set up an in-store recycling program and sell reusable bags.
Some 700 food stores plus large retailers such as Target and Home Depot would have to collect used bags and provide a system for turning them over to a manufacturer or to third-party recycling firms.
Stores would be required to use bags printed with a reminder to consumers: “Please return this bag to a participating store for recycling.”
Environmentalists have targeted plastic bags as a scourge that take years to biodegrade and contaminate soil and water.
