Stop and Shop’s Intuition

Those of you who have been following my blog will have read an earlier anecdote in this category, (Green Bionics), about the lowly plastic carrier bag.

A few days ago, I received an email from Stop and Shop supermarket chain, which offered me a free reusable canvas shopping bag for simply logging into my online account. I was taken aback because I had thought about contacting Stop and Shop in regards to handing out free bags to their loyal customers. My aim was to encourage more people to use these bags instead of the environmentally un-friendly plastic ones.

It seems that this promotion is being run in conjunction with Cancer Awareness and the bags are pink with the ribbon logo. So this action by Stop and Shop, in my mind has a double effect and I have to give them props for that.

Check out the cool bag and then check out your local supermarket and make certain that they are doing their bit towards making our environment cleaner.
