Seeking authentic in a knock-off world? Facts not fashion? Then don’t miss out on this 100% recyclable and reusable plastic bag. That’s right! Looking for a practical solution to a greener globe? This is the real deal…
There should be word for this; it isn't astroturfing, which is "public relations campaigns in politics and advertising that seek to create the impression of being spontaneous, grassroots behavior." The Progressive Bag Alliance makes no pretense about being anything but a group of plastic bag manufacturers. We suppose that there must be a Buggy Whip Alliance out there as well, there is an association to preserve every dying industry. They are selling the bags on eBay, along with a pile of truths they call myths. Read their last gasp of PR folly at ::Progressive Bag Alliance via ::New Consumer
