Today, April 22, is Earth Day, a celebration of the planet and a day to highlight efforts to conserve resources and live a sustainable lifestyle.
The day was created in 1970, sponsored by a far-thinking Wisconsin senator named Gaylord Nelson. Today, Earth Day is recognized in nations around the world, not just in the United States.
To commemorate Earth Day, a variety of businesses are offering freebies:
Walgreen’s is offering a free canvas shopping bag (you are using these instead of plastic, aren’t you). In addition, they are giving a 15 to 20 percent discount on purchases today. Visit the Walgreen’s site and print a coupon for the bag before you go.
Kroger’s, too is offering a free canvas shopping bag.
Disney Stores are giving away free, reuseable water bottles.
