We were recently contacted by the Sustainability Task Force at Sutherland Asbill & Brennan LLP in Atlanta.  With Earth Day approaching, they were looking for a way to help further their message of "Do One Thing Differently" to their employees.  Last year, Sutherland gave each of their employees a reusable bag.

The city of Phoenix has found a way to save nearly $30,000.00 a year, as well as help residents rid the cabinets of used, unwanted plastic bags. The city has asked that city residents fill dog waste receptacles in city parks with their old plastic bags, allowing every city resident to utilize the bags for their dogs' waste. 

Our families often debate what to do with old plastic bags or how to break friends and families from using resealable bags (like sandwich bags) at home. Its certainly difficult - the younger generations were raised on resealable bags and therefore, don't often think of discarding them.
