Target Corp. is celebrating Earth Day by distributing 1.5 million reusable bags in all of its locations on April 22, 2012, according to a press release. Throughout April, the company will offer shoppers easy and sustainable solutions as well as over $50 in savings on sustainable products in-store and via a limited-time website (www.target.com/earthday.) The limited-time website will be up and running through April 28, making accessible over forty featured products and tips for maintaining a sustainable lifestyle as well as links to more than $50 in coupon savings.


Target is also partnering with Recyclebank this month. The organization encourages individuals to make sustainable decisions like recycling and reducing water usage which in turn allows them to earn rewards for those actions.



Shawn Gensch, Senior Vice President, Marketing, Target, states, “Earth Day is the perfect time to remind guests that a small change can make a big difference in reducing waste, saving money and driving sustainable choices in their community.” Mr. Gensch, continues, “At Target, we are pleased to do our part by making these choices easier for our guests.”
