As part of my 2008 New Year goals I wanted to use less plastic bags. I think I did pretty well only using 26 plastic bags, which means I used the green bags and saved 123 plastic ones (yes I kept track.) I did not plan on shopping at this store tonight so I did not have my green or in this case red canvas shopping bags. I sadly took the plastic bags. I noticed on the side of a bag “10 Ways to Reuse Your Target Bag – 1. Tiny Trash Can Liner 2. Doggy Duty 3. Water Balloon 4. Road Trip Rubbish 5. Soggy Laundry 6. Ice Pack 7. Toiletry Tote 8. Kitty Litter Liner 9. Tomorrow’s Lunch Bag 10. Care Package Padding”.
On a side note I found interesting among the midst of the leagal wording was for California residents – “Please return to a participating store for recycling.” Why only California? I’ve seen local Publix stores have this program in the past, why can’t Target have this program also here in Florida?
Since 2008 is almost over guess I need to start working on my 2009 goals. Have a safe New Year’s Celebration and a great 2009 and keep on reading us here at Lakeland Local.

Sam’s Club has just started a collection program of bags here in Lakeland. You may give them to the door greeter or place in collection box. Great GREEN project for schools.
