Twice today as I commuted I saw cars with plastic bags entwined beneath them. Yes, your US$50,000 car looks very nice. Just like your new pair of heals with toilet paper hanging off of them.
What’s wrong with us? Minimally we need to start taking the bags back to the stores and leaving them there.
Cities have banned them, and some stores have stopped using them.
Have you ever walked close to the bayous in Houston? They are by far this biggest wash-off problem. And they get tangled high in the trees for that year round enjoyment.
Salon.com tells me they’re killing us.
Maybe I’ll wean myself from them. Hopefully before I suffocate.
We found it interesting in Europe where shoppers in the grocery store in Paris would bag/box their own groceries. You either brought your own bags or you could use a cut up cardboard box, culled from the stock room, from a pile in the corner
Cynthia has talked about making some custom canvas bags to take when we go grocery shopping. In looking at how things are setup, she thinks maybe making them where the handle will come off easily and they’ll mount in the same frame that holds the plastic bags will make them easier to load…
I’ve bought 1 bag so far. But I have trouble remembering to put it back in the car so I have it for my next trip.
My main complaint about the ones in the stores is the branding. I shop at multiple stores and don’t really feel like advertising for all of them.
It does crack me up – half the time I try to use the one I bought, the sacker tries to put the stuff in plastic bags, then pack them into my canvas bag.
