No Bag or Your Bag
The Co-op would like to thank student shoppers from Hanover High School for choosing “no bag or your bag” at our check-outs this fall. In past years, students were using up to 1,000 plastic bags a week to carry their lunches from the Co-op to their cafeteria. This year they are taking almost none at all.
The Environmental Club and Dean of Students Ian Smith deserve special recognition for inviting the Co-op to the high school’s opening assembly where Hanover Store cashier and HHS alum Kevin Birdsey appealed to the students’ common sense, cooperative spirit, and respect for the environment and challenged them to forgo disposable shopping bags this year. Most students and teachers now carry their purchases back to school in their hands; some carry reusable bags. Either way, we “Thank you” for making the change!
