Inspiration in the checkout line

As I am planning what products to offer my brain has gone into overdrive, noticing all the opportunities to combine style and waste reduction. A big trend is the shopping bag. Now the ones I carry are the generic grocery store offerings, but they could be much more. Now, I am in no way claiming it an original idea, but there is certainly room in the market for yet another interpretation. There has been much chatter about NYC banning plastic bags being used by large stores- could be perfect timing to offer some alternative shopping bags.

Oh and the bag count is up to 17 plastic, 5 paper refused. Why aren’t more stores doing what Trader Joe’s does with the biweekly raffle? What a great way to inspire people.

    I’d love to hear more about your ideas as you develop them. I agree it’s important to do anything you can, even if it doesn’t seem like much.
