Thanks to GreenLAGirl.com for the heads up, today is Heal The Bay’s A Day Without A Bag. In an effort to end the use of wasteful disposable grocery bags, select stores will be giving away reusable grocery bags. Local grocers will also have promotions like “double green points” at Ralphs.
From HealTheBay.org:
Our holiday gift to the environment! Join thousands of shoppers in L.A. County in giving up disposable bags in favor of reusable totes for 24 hours.
A Day Without a Bag is an education and grassroots event coordinated by Heal the Bay that involves businesses and individuals throughout Los Angeles County. On this day we ask holiday shoppers and retailers to forgo single-use, plastic shopping bags in favor of reusable bags. Held the third Thursday in December, Heal the Bay’s second annual A Day Without a Bag will be December 18, 2008. Read more
