One has to wonder how many more years the standard fair of
promo items will be used by candidates. This year has been a boondoggle for promotional products companies catering to those in the middle of elections. By some estimates upwards of $20 million will be spent by the two leading candidates and that does not include funds to be spent in the General Election.
But the question becomes how many more years can we all endure getting bumper stickers, stickers, cheap pens, bad clothing and other throw away items? What surprises us this year is that most of the candidates have ignored the "go green" mantra likely due to costs. It does make us wonder though with many candidates promoting themselves as environmentally friendly all the while their campaigns make the decision to buy paper, plastic and other products that will end up sitting on the side of the road or in a landfill?
