Whether you call them trinkets and trash, swag, giveaways, or promotional gifts, the fact remains that most of it ends up in the trash. Companies are too cheap (or smart) to give away really good stuff and people aren’t willing to stuff junk into their suitcase for the long trip home.

Hopefully, the actions of the organizers of the Web2.0 Summit will rub off on their event counterparts. At this well attended conference in San Francisco, attendees were given a tree as their gift via TreeNation. If you really like your tree, you can even register it and follow its growth online.

If you like the idea, ecoist also plants a tree for every bag sold.
