You mean you couldn't put the chinese made HD goods from the Right Wing Founded and Controlled Home Depot Corporation that ran all your local Main Street businesses out of biz.....in a plastic bag...and that is actually making a dent in your budget???
Wow....thanks for the illustration of patriotism and environmentalism. I guess "my wallet" should be put into the Pledge of Allegiance.
^^^^ You spent a little time thinking about that post, didn't you ? Good job !!!!
My husband and I don't drive and our nearest grocery store is a mile away. When we need groceries, we walk there rain or shine. And yet we still aren't massively inconvenienced by paper bags because we always bring our reusable bags.
I just think it's funny that most everyone whining about this are the people who have cars and drive to the store. They only have to walk from/to the parking lot a few steps away from the entrance. How lazy can people be? Just keep reusable bags in the car always and remember to put them back in your car after you've unloaded all your groceries at home.
I agree that government shouldn't be forcing anything, but it's also odd that people complain about it even when stores enact such policies voluntarily.
Some stores, like Braum's Ice Cream and Dairy never went to plastic bags. It's nice their paper bags can go into recyclables, but recycling is becoming less practical because foreign countries no longer want sent recyclables and failure of people to properly sort what is recyclable. No, styrofoam isn't recyclable.
