But.....the bag is completely unnecessary. They do not have to use that concept as their promotion. Plus, there is a code at the bottom of each bag that actually gives the discount...so the bag itself is just a gimmick. It is always good to hear another point of you.

I'm very much against plastic bags, but the one that you received in the mail was for something we do a couple times a year called stuff and save. If you don't get a bag, you aren't able to get the 20 off on everything you can get in the bag. And also about the hangers, we do reuse more hangers than you might think. For example on the returns during the day that aren't folded and need to be re hung. The trash that is collected is picked up and after inspection is burned. Hope that helped turn your thinking around about Old Navy just a bit =) I work for Old Navy.

That would make a cool eco-blog, Cindy,...just letters & responses. Burbarino...I had no idea about the hangers. I don't do much Old Navy shopping...but I buy from Baby Gap and Banana...which is the same company. I wonder if they all have the same policy. Oh...I am so torn. Knowing my luck I would put on the ban and then they would make my organic jeans. I look forward to your piece....your post that is. A little letter writing is definitely in order.

Let Me Count The Ways: Those hangers they use to hang up their clothes on? They don't re-use them! They don't even send them back to the factory so someone else can re-use them. They put 'em in the frickin' dumpster! Then they require their manufacturers to ship them the garments already hung on hangers so that their associates don't have to hange them (and to avoid wrinkles). Because if there's one thing middle class American will not abide it is wrinkles. I'm going to be doing a little expose post on this soon... F' em. Never shop there again. How does Old Navy Suck?

For instance, don't sending me junk, your packaging is ridiculously wasteful, go organic, etc. etc. I would so appreciate it...

Tell Old Navy what you think of their plastic bag gimmick. If enough people complain, perhaps they'll stop doing it. Do like Beth at fakeplasticfish does and write them a letter!
