Target, where I bought Wayne’s World 1 AND 2 for $7.50, has gone one step further towards awesomeness by offering to exchange their plastic bags for reusable totes. Though I can’t find any information on Target’s website, from the “What Do You Stand For” website:

Send them your used plastic Target bags, and they will send you a coupon for a free reusable tote. They’ll even pay the postage by turning the cover of Newsweek, which features a pre-paid business reply label, into an envelope…

Target, which already prints 10 ways to reuse on the side of each plastic bag, partnered with TerraCycle, an eco-capitalism company, and Newsweek to turn plastic bags into reusable “Retotes.” Not only do the totes help to minimize the environmental impact of shopping, they provide an added consumer touch point and act as a gentle reminder of all the ways Target works to better its community.

Target likes to champion its environmental efforts - did you know that you can bring all your old batteries and cell phones to their Guest Services Desk, and they’ll recycle them for you, donating all proceeds to the Boys and Girls Club of America? Good stuff. Also, I read that batteries don’t need to be kept in the refrigerator to last longer, but that’s really neither here nor there.

If you have a Newsweek and an old Target bag, ((DON’T ACTUALLY CLICK ON THAT (sorry, no link for that one cause there’s no real website to tell you to go to)) and mail that bag in to get a renewable tote.
