This weekend when you come to the Boulder County Farmers’ Market in Boulder and use a reusable bag instead of a disposable one, don’t be surprised if a fellow shopper suddenly hands you a gift of a cookie or starter plant with a grateful greeting of, “We caught you reusing! Thank you!”

Secret shoppers on the lookout to reward those who are reusing are part of a series of new campaigns Eco-Cycle is doing in partnership with the Boulder County Farmers’ Market, the first ongoing zero-waste event in the country. Along with the new campaigns, there will be upgraded zero-waste stations and signage unveiled for the first time on Saturday.

This marks the latest joint effort in a partnership that goes back eight years to Boulder County Farmers’ Market’s transition to a zero-waste event.
