Many of us are used to this question when it comes to Grocery shopping. Some of us (including
Recycled Shopping Bags - the new cool
me) have gotten so used to plastic bags that the question does not even come up anymore. Here are some present day considerations on the subject…
- Seattle, WA is voting in August on a 20 cent tax (?) on customers that dont bring their own bags
- BYOB – The new expansion for this is Bring Your Own Bag. There is a ‘coolness’ factor to this now.
- Many people claim that they have their own bags in the car, but 80% of the time they forget to take it into the store with them
- There is the argument that plastic bags are 2% of the problem, the bigger problem is how the stuff we buy are packaged and how we need to minimize plastic content in that.
- Cant deny the environmental damage caused by plastic bags blowing around and besides being an eyesore, being consumed by animals
No words required
- But hey, wait a minute. How else are we going to dispose of dog poop, and line the garbage bin in the bathroom?
- If Grocery stores stop using Plastic bags, wont we simply buy bags for Trash cans anyway?
