peace. love. recycle.

I went shopping a few weeks ago with my mom and sisters at Gilroy.  My sis bought a pair of boots from Aldo.. and after telling them our usual spiel “No thanks, we don’t need a bag,” the sales associate actually responded “Oh!  We don’t give out bags anymore!”  She then continued to explain that Aldo recently changed their ways!  Instead of offering a plastic shopping bag, Aldo inserts a piece of string through the shoebox; they also place 3 pieces of tape across the opening of the box to seal it shut, and voila!  A makeshift shopping bag is created!

I love the ingenuity!  I noticed that Charlotte Russe also started doing this!  I hope this is a rising trend =)
