In an effort to empower AT&T customers with sustainable choices, increase efficiency and minimize impact on the environment, AT&T is teaming up with The Nature Conservancy to encourage AT&T customers to skip the bag when purchasing items from its retail stores. With this program, which runs now through January 31, 2014, AT&T will donate 10 cents to the Nature Conservancy for each check out bag its customers choose to forego.

“As we work to make our own operations at AT&T more sustainable, we also want to empower our customers to live more sustainably,” said Bob Bass, President AT&T Alaska. “The skip the bag initiative joins our other environmentally focused retail efforts, like our eco-devices and device recycling programs that help AT&T and our customers to minimize impact on the environment, today and well into the future.”

  • AT&T will donate 10 cents to The Nature Conservancy for each check-out bag our customers choose to forego.
  • Customers may donate additional amounts to The Nature Conservancy in our store. 100% of these additional Donations will be remitted by AT&T to The Nature Conservancy.
