CVS and Target Prescribe a Green Remedy

In early November CVS and Target implemented policy reforms that suggest the corporations are putting forth an effort to go green. CVS is now rewarding customers who make purchases and choose not to take a plastic bag to carry their items. Every four times a person declines to use a plastic bag, CVS will give him or her one dollar on their CVS card. For anyone who regularly shops at the popular pharmacy and general store, helping out the environment will be a convenient and lucrative option.
Target followed suit when it decided to change their plastic bag policy as well. Now anyone shopping at Target will get a five cent discount for every reusable bag they use to carry items. This is another great reform that gives people a financial incentive to be environmentally conscious. Combined, CVS and Target could help keep billions of plastic bags from making their way into landfills and littering the ground. Not only will these reforms help make the planet a cleaner place, the economic incentives they offer will likely bring people into the movement that otherwise would not be involved.
CVS and Target are taking a big step in bringing the green movement to the mainstream of corporate America. Hopefully they will serve as role models and inspire others in their field to take aim to help improve the environment.
