“I challenge all of Dryden’s retail stores to not distribute any single use plastic shopping bags on Earth Day. I realize that it is only one day but it will make a difference; we will all see how easy it is to bring and use our own bags when we go shopping. It will be great practice for the day when our stores will stop distributing single use plastic shopping bags – indefinitely – because everyday should be Earth Day!”
