They're giving away free bags at every Marin store on Saturday, and we're hoping they'll expand the action to all of the Bay Area. If you have a moment next time you're there, do express your gratitude to the manager. They love to hear our compliments -- like rain to a thirsty garden. (Who doesn't appreciate being appreciated?) The White Elephant gift idea is of course a Zero Waste practice itself. A Green Elephant wrapping fits the moment like a glove! Marianna,

Haven't done any publicity for BYOB day but I'm giving my office white elephant gift in a cloth bag instead of wrapper.
