BYOB
Bring your own bag
Whole Foods Markets will stop using disposable plastic grocery bags on Earth Day, April 22, 2008.
I think that is a step in the right direction and hope other large companies take a similar action soon. Banning plastic bags is undoubtedly good for the environment.
Do you have your reusable bag with you when you need it?
If the paper bag option is easily available I don’t think most people will make the effort to remember their bag.
I do not see anything wrong with ONLY using cardboard boxes that stock came to the store in for shoppers who have forgotten their bags.
I hope Whole Foods and others will ad BYOB (Bring Your Own Bag) campaigns to all their marketing efforts.
Hint to Whole Foods- A million dollar prize seems to motivate us to eat a lot of fast food burgers, I wonder if it wouldn’t do the same for the use of reusable bags.
