June 2012 Hot Button Winners
Congrats to our June 2012 Hot Button of the Month Winner!
June's Hot Button of the Month Contest Winner is�Patty Buchanan from Seattle, WA.. Patty designed the "Please Wash Your Cloth Bags" button to raise awareness that tons of bacteria are found on cloth re-usable grocery bags. The cloth bags harbor germs that can get passed along to other customers and employees.
"I made a button for myself and wore it to work, then about two dozen cashiers commented on it," said Patty. "I made one for each of them. Now I carry a bag full of them and give one to anybody who wants one!"
Patty notes that since her city has banned plastic bags, more people will be using the re-usable ones, thus making it more important than ever for people to be aware of the hazard.
As the Hot Button of the Month winner, Patty received a $100 Badge-A-Minit gift certificate.
