I’ve grumbled about Aramark’s efforts to go green in the past (it’s nothing personal, I just like my milkshakes), but I’ve got nothing but praise for these stylish new Grab & Go bags.  These customized Georgetown bags, made by EcoAction in conjunction with Aramark, are a great way to lessen the waste generated by plastic Grab & Go bags that are thrown out once you polish off your bland turkey sandwich, under-ripe banana and Lays potato chips.  Not only that, but they can be folded up and stored in that little pouch on the front of the bag!  Convenient, too!

Make sure you pick one up in Red Square this week.  EcoAction will be selling them for $4 from Tuesday to Friday, 11 am to 2 pm.
