California Poised to Ban the Single Use Plastic Bags

News that California is on the edge of a statewide bag ban cannot come at a better time for the environment and wildlife.  And now word comes that the California Grocers Association is backing the ban and it feels like we are finally making progress on many fronts.

Is there a bag ban in your hometown or state?  I am CMO for Factory Direct Promos and love to point folks in the direction of our Interactive Bag Ban Map to get the stories behind the bag bans, fees and failed attempts to ban bags throughout the world.  It seems to me that the only thing stopping bag bans are some folks who, have their right to disagree of course because of a feeling of inconvenience nd the plastic manufacturers.

But a little birdie told me (a source at one of the largest chemical manufacturing companies in the world) that the plastic manufactures can see the writing on the wall and although they are fighting tooth and nail against the bag bans, they know it is only a matter of time before their damaging single use plastic bags have met their demise.

Can't Miss Eco Inspiration for All Ages from My Dad and Daughter


Need a Reason To Love Mother Earth?  Look No Further  Than This Inspiration From My Dad and Daughter

My dad is an amazing man. Even though 12 years ago he was confined to wheelchair due to a Hepatitis-B vaccination,  he finds ways to inspire so many people around him. From taking awesome action shots of my daughter's lacrosse team with his trembling hands, to sending videos or educational tidbits he finds in his daily web surfing adventures, he always takes time to make a difference in people's lives.

Weak Economy Claims Royal, Green Victim

Bad Economy Not Picky in Choosing It's Green Victims

As reported in Reuters, it seems that the bad economy is not picky when it comes to those it wreaks havoc upon.  Even royalty is not immune to financial woes when it comes to their green business ventures.

Prince Charles, environmentalist and heir to the throne of England has closed his 8 year old organic vegetable store due to falling trade and rising prices.

His store aptly named, The Veg Shed, sold organic vegetables and fruit freshly grown on the his Duchy Home Farm and became known for selling edible but oddly shaped organic produce that would normally be rejected by supermarkets.

A spokeswoman for Prince Charles said the store closed as it was no longer financially viable as it failed to make a profit but shoppers can still order online. 

"The Veg Shed has closed, basically in response to consumer trends, a preference for shopping remotely," a spokeswoman from Clarence House, the prince's official London residence, told Reuters.

I can totally relate to this business model as I shop online and am a Founding Member of the Green PolkaDot Box, an online grocer that offers huge discounts on organics and nonGMO foods and products.
