hab where in the world do you shop cuz monst all of the places I've hit many still use plastic! grr
I will note that the only grocery store that I've noticed where ppl bring their own bags is Trader Joe's. They don't even offer plastic bags there :)
Today, I noticed 8 out of 10 customers would choose to either bag there own or paper, and complained about this and that with the plastic stuff.
Its catching on very fast.
Yeah, a lot of people here still bag their groceries in plastic. Slowly but surely though people are buying our reusable bags and bringing them back. Or any bag that they choose to bring, even if its a Safeway bag...I do think its funny how a decade or two ago, everyone thought plastic bags were amazing and so much better than paper cause they had handles...
all you have to do is pay attention to tv and radio to know that peoples minds are changing. i know out here we keep see and hearing these tv and radio ads "plastics make it possible" i think so many people ar sterring away from plastic no that the idustry is trying to remind people that they are relevant....personally I think that san francisco is a totally sick city but they did something right in banning the plastic bag
Up here stores don't care if you bag your items with a competitor's bag.....doing the right thing really removes possibility of any further criticisms.Quote:

even whole foods defaults to plastic.
Dierbergs is where I was at the time. At the other two stores I shop plastic is still quite prevalent. At one of them you bag your own goodies and the plastic is readily available, the paper is under the counter and sometimes stuck together and difficult to open. I really should get some reusable jobbies for when I do use bags....then I'd have to remember to bring them with....Quote:
