Imagine if all these discount programs were linked not to the card, but to the bag. Bringing the same rugged bag with a chip could've become a new normal.
This is a really good idea!! I wish big corporations gave any amount of thought to not destroying the planet, this probably would be popular already if they did.
My experience with shopping in California, they make the plastic bags (that you have to pay for) pretty sturdy so you can reuse them. At least at Target.
