Target to hand out reusable bags for Earth Day...

As they've done in years past, Target will again be giving away free reusable bags to celebrate Earth Day.  Shown here is last year's design, as I haven't been able to find pics of this year's style yet.

While Earth Day officially falls on a Monday this year (April 22) Target will be handing out the bags on Sunday, April 21.  The Bullseye plans to give away 1.5 million bags, and is loading 250,000 of them with free samples from such leading sustainability brands as Method Dish Soap, Annie’s Bunny Grahams, Seventh Generation Laundry Detergent and Burt’s Bees Moisturizing Cream. Target also plans to distribute sustainable product coupon books this month, offering up to $40 in savings.

Thank you posting this! I think I missed the bag giveaway last year but now I'm looking forward to it!

Does one have to be there right when they open to get a bag?

Hey Critifur: my experience has been that if you want one of the bags stuffed with the free samples, it helps to get there early (like in the first 1-2 hours of opening). The ones with the samples go pretty quick. After that, you should still be able to get a free bag; it just won't have the samples in it.
