Did you know that many grocery stores in the United States already offer incentives for you to remember your reusable bags? Here's what some stores in Arizona are doing....
Frys: Offers $.05 off for every reusable
bag you use instead of plastic.
Trader Joes: Has a weekly drawing you can enter
to win a $25 gift card when you bring your
reusable bags
IKEA: Charges $.05 per plastic bag.
Whole Foods: Will be banning plastic bags all together.
What about the stores where you live? What other stores can we add to our list? We wrote letters to all the major grocery stores asking them to provide stronger incentives to help reduce the use of plastic. We'll see what happens, but hopefully this list will get larger.
