 "Story lines, character arcs, even product placement, where characters can be shown using hybrid cars or canvas shopping bags, that sort of thing. We encourage entire story lines about major environmental issues. We also use celebrity to role-model behavior; that's a huge influence. We know celebrities who are supportive of us, and we use the paparazzi and the magazines and the entertainment shows to catch them in their daily lives. We love it when the TV shows Alicia Silverstone walking out of the market and getting into her Prius holding canvas shopping bags."- David H. Rippe, Jared Rosen, The Flip: Turn Your World Around (Get the book.) |
 "Sometimes new patients come in toting shopping bags full of supplement bottles. They will ask which ones they need. Not infrequently, they are spending $400 to $600 a month on supplements and not getting the desired results.
For us it's a matter of getting the most for your money. Our supplement program isn't cheap, but it's effective. And not infrequently, our recommendations cost less money than what a new patient is already spending."- Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.) |
 "He carried three large shopping bags, each brimming with swag.
In 1900 the influential physician Dr. William Osier said in a speech that doctors could not just end their education after medical school. Physicians, he said, must be lifelong students to maintain their competence. Dr. Osier, a Canadian who became physician in chief at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, said this education was best done in hospitals where doctors learned by observing patients and talking about the best way to treat them."- Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.) |
| "We love it when the TV shows Alicia Silverstone walking out of the market and getting into her Prius holding canvas shopping bags. We try to get these celebrities to be conscious that what they do in their personal life can be inspirational for their fans.
"In fact, I joke around that we teach celebrities how to shop. Because the reality is that everybody goes out and buys something every day. If they shop at the companies that are green and have an environmental consciousness, and make a show of supporting them, then their viewers and fans may follow suit." - David H. Rippe, Jared Rosen, The Flip: Turn Your World Around (Get the book.) |
 "In fact, while all the hoopla is going on at the medical meetings, and while some doctors are collecting shopping bags full of pens and pads, some academic physicians are fattening their bank accounts by teaching at these pharmaceutical-company-sponsored "symposia." In 2001 one prominent medical specialist from Boston gave four lectures at different hotels the day before the American Heart Association meeting and one more at 8:00 pm on a day of the meeting."- Jerome P. Kassirer, On the Take: How Medicine's Complicity with Big Business Can Endanger Your Health (Get the book.) "Some had shamelessly stuffed one or two shopping bags with loot. Some were lined up for a free check of their blood cholesterol. At some meetings each of the doctors becomes a walking advertisement. At one, a cloth cord imprinted repeatedly with AstraZeneca held the nametag around the doctor's neck. At another, the nametag had two panels, one with the doctor's name and the other, below, with the company's name (Aventis Pharma) and in large letters the name of Lovenox, one of the company's new drugs that is used to prevent and treat blood clots." - Jerome P.

 "Often found on the bottom of plastic bottles, other containers, and shopping bags, the numbers and letters shown with the chasing-arrows "recycling" symbol mean the following4:
¦ #1 PETE or PET (polyethylene terephthalate): brighter than PVC plastic, very transparent, and almost looks like glass. PET is generally considered the safest single-use plastic bottle choice. There has been some research to suggest, however, that long-term storage of beverages in PET containers may increase the levels of DEHP, an endocrine disrupting phthalate and a probable human carcinogen."- KC Craichy, Super Health 7 Golden Keys to Unlock Lifelong Vitality (Get the book.) |
| "The use of plastics in the food industry is projected to double, reaching fully 40 percent of packaging materials; plastic shopping bags, holding 25 percent of the market, will grow to 75 percent.
Many analysts recognize that the chemical industry has turned to degradable plastics out of fear that packagers will return to paper, aluminum, or glass if restrictions on plastic use and popular opinion against plastics both increase. Degradable plastic shopping bags are being marketed as "environmentally safe." But are they?" - H. Patricia Hynes, Earth Right (Get the book.) |
