I never see anyone with reusable bags there. Also funny to see my comment from Ireland almost 7 years ago. When I was in California last summer they started doing the same thing... at stores like H&M they charge you some change to take a shopping bag. Lululemon now provides you with reusable bags when you make a purchase there and I use them for everything from carrying my lunch to my yoga clothes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7073418469030879525.post-80387855211341053352007-09-16T15:07:00.001-04:002007-09-16T15:07:00.001-04:00This is really interesting because I've never seen...This is really interesting because I've never seen this before. But in Ireland everyone brings their own bags to grocery stores and any other kind of store. <BR/><BR/>When you go grocery shopping you have to pay 22 cents for each plastic bag you use. Ireland also promotes recycling a lot more than America. In all of our appartments they provide us with a trash bin and a recycling bin in the kitchen.<BR/><BR/><BR/>bmwAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7073418469030879525.post-12664515991228472642007-09-16T15:07:00.000-04:002007-09-16T15:07:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7073418469030879525.post-19750997074479063412007-07-20T10:53:00.000-04:002007-07-20T10:53:00.000-04:00Thanks for looking at my blog and posting a commen...Thanks for looking at my blog and posting a comment. <BR/>It is the little things that can really make a difference.<BR/>As Ghandi said "Be the change that you want to see in the world"<BR/><BR/>And I did take my canvas bags to Market Basket yesterday...I got a weird look from the bagger, but it put a smile on my face. <BR/><BR/>Gypsy GirlGypsy Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05087862507302721291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7073418469030879525.post-32720486581792700502007-07-19T19:40:00.000-04:002007-07-19T19:40:00.000-04:00It's interesting, I use my canvas bags when shoppi...It's interesting, I use my canvas bags when shopping at Wild Oats and Whole Foods, but at the regular grocery store, I always get paper. For some reason, I don't equate the regular stores with bringing my own bags (but I don't shop there very often, either). For one thing, I never see people bringing their own bags into those stores. We should change this! If some of us started, maybe it would spread.<BR/><BR/>What I do if they start putting my stuff in plastic before I've had a chance to say anything, is I just ask them to put the rest in paper.<BR/><BR/>gartenfischegartenfischehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04150198650029826393noreply@blogger.com
