The other day I was at the store and doing my weekly shopping. As I started down the aisle where the garbage bags were kept, I remembered an assignment I had written in the past month where I had found out that in some communities it is now a law to put all of your recycled materials in clear or blue plastic bags.
Now the POS system that ends at the check out holds a dozen or so cloth grocery bags for the eco-savvy shopped. Of course, the old tried and true plastic bags are still there for the 'could care less' shoppers and those who probably are going to buy more than four or five items. Let's face it, those cloth bags don't hold very much- and using plastic bags to hold recyclables is just a little like greenwashing, but of course there are always companies looking for a niche. Especially a forced niche like mandating that the citizens of a community have to use clear or blue plastic bags for their recycled materials. Nuff said!@  |
