In order for the Green Movement to succeed, we are going to have to take into consideration human nature. Take, for example, the movement to use canvas bags in lieu of plastic or paper. I've heard my friends say that they really want to use them, but they usually forget them at home, or in the car, and sometimes they just don't want the inconvenience of one more thing to remember doing. If supermarkets were really interested in their baby boomer customers using those eco-friendly canvas bags, they could make it happen overnight. All they would have to do is get one of those iron-on machines, a computer and scanner, and pay a few employees to iron on the grandchildren's pictures onto the bags for free. Imagine, a legitimate reason to show off a picture of the grandkids without being asked! What upstanding, bona-fide grandparent could resist? Not only would the grandparents use them for shopping in the supermarket, they would probably carry them to every store they go to. Forgetting them at home would never be a problem, since I strongly suspect that the bags would be prominently displayed on the counter at home, or on the car's dashboard when not in use. Let's face it. No grandparent can resist the urge to show off a picture of his or her grandchild... it's one of the reasons why Grandchildren are so much fun!

That's a great idea! Anyway to save money and show off your kids or grand kids at the same time is definitely a plus!
I love it!
