You're supposed to give the bags, oversized t-shirts, and pens to your children. The key strategy is to seem totally sincere about it - "I missed you when I was out of town, and daddy brought you back these fantastic items as a token of my love." My dad always did this to me, and now that I'm older I think it is a great tactic. No kids yet, but you can bet they'll be burning IMS shirts at the age of 16. You’re missing the point.

I just refused my shirt at the IMS meeting you're also attending. I took the bag, though. Better than your usual conference fare.... Definitely a deal.

Can we have some kind of symbolic bringing of the old bags to be recycled or something? I like the T-Shirts though. Is there a petition I can sign?

My wife and I are trying to remember to take our canvas bags to grocery stores, etc. with us. I don't see why a similar idea at conferences wouldn't work. Congratulations on a great idea! Now if we can just do something about cheap pens!! Bob Michael–I am in full agreement with the BYOB movement.
