Many businesses have learned that they can earn community respect and help their customers save money when they take steps to keep the planet healthy. All it takes is a little eco ingenuity and shopper participation.
For example, CVS/pharmacy company officials recently recognized that fewer than one-third of single-use plastic shopping bags used by customers get recycled. As a result, CVS announced a new program called Green Bag Tag to encourage customers to reduce their use of single-use plastic bags.
Good Green Habits for Transporting Treasures
You can help keep plastic bags from littering streets, waterways and out of landfills by using reusable bags at all stores. And, whenever you use your reusable bags at CVS, you can also earn money (store credits) with these steps:
- Sign up for a free CVS Extra Care Card program.
- Purchase a Green Bag Tag for 99 cents. (You’ll get your 99 cents back by using the tag four times.)
- Scan the Green Bag Tag each time you bring reusable bags or when you decline plastic bags at checkout.
- Earn $1 Extra Buck credit (to be used at CVS) on every fourth scan.
