April 22 is the “official” date of Earth Day, but retailers and other establishments are celebrating for many days before and after that. Here’s what you can get, see and do:
Free Reusable Bags – get a free bag with any purchase at Target on Sunday, April 21 (while supplies last). Also come to any HEB store from 3-7 p.m. and drop off five plastic bags on April 22 to receive a coupon for a free reusable bag. Or visit your local Disney Store and drop off five plastic bags to get a free Disney reusable tote. (I got this one a few years ago and it is way cute!)
