H-E-B celebrates Earth Day by offering free reusable bags
By Teresa Pione Tuesday, 14 April 2009
In celebration of Earth Day April 22 H-E-B will be providing customers with coupons for reusable bags in exchange for five plastic bags. From 3-7 p.m., customers can bring in plastic bags from any retailer to receive the coupon (one per person) while supplies last. The company plans to give away 300,000 reusable bags state-wide while recycling 1.5 million plastic bags.
“We want to reinforce our enthusiasm for going green and encourage our shoppers to do the same,” said Environmental Affairs Manager Susan Ghertner in a press release.
Customers are also encouraged to bring in other thin plastics to recycle in bins placed in front of the stores. Newspaper sleeves, dry-cleaning bags, six-pack soda-can rings and other thin plastic packaging brought in will be recycled into plastic lumber.
