F#@% paper grocery bags

I agree, fuck Whole Foods.

U mad bro?

Hemp bags for the save

Just wait 'til you drop an expensive bottle of wine in the parking lot...

At Aldi you either buy the paper for $.07 or plastic for $.09. or bring your own.
I always spring for the plastic then set them on fire when I'm done to equalize the karmic forces.

in Oregon, they banned the THIN plastic bags

the new plastic bags are super thick, and reusable

but they don't want us to use them more than once because of wuflu contamination

so now I have hundreds of small reusable plastic bags - I do use them up, but not fast enough

Oregon is so stupid

Yeah I’d get pissed too if I lost a good bottle of Ripple that way.

To "save the environment" we stopped using so many paper bags and switched to these flimsy fast breaking down plastic bags.

Now to "save the environment" they want us to go back to cumbersome paper bags.

I'm sick of the games in the name of science. Btw, isn't New York supposed to be under water like over 10 years ago?

Liberals like to kill trees.

The only way plastics makes any sense should be for multi duty cycle products, not one and done. That is really fucking up our world, I don’t think we will undo the damage already done for hundreds of years.

I have recycled over 100 million pounds of plastics in one of my careers

Plastics are an incredible material but we will really need to do the right thing , thin plastic materials,thin gauge, are a nightmare to recycle, thicker products are much easier to convert to a geometry suitable for reprocessing .

Cockroaches luv to hide up in the folds and come home up with you.

The plastic bags suck too. You can fit like 3 tomatoes in one bag.

Tomato Tard

Use plastic like civilized countries you Neanderthal Americans

they outgas a lot of chemicals

and do not work well.

totally agree

I'm loving the new plastic bags. Sure.
I have to pay 5 cents for them. But they are sturdy and don't Rip when I look at them sideways.

I always bring my own reusable shopping bags.

DAMN, , BRING your own bags. Canvas OR whatever.


Amazon still delivers food in plastic for some items, so do Krogers and Albertons.



.

First, I don't have a car, second, I can't afford anything expensive.

The whole plastic bag environmental angle is a scam.

Yes, there are a zillion plastic bags in the ocean, and yes, it is an absolute tragedy. I am 100% in favor of cleaning plastic bags from the ocean and stopping additional pollution.

But guess what? None of the plastic bags we use end up in the ocean. Every part of America (and Europe) has sophisticated wastewater treatment. Nothing is being dumped in the ocean. The only plastic bags going into the ocean are the ones blowing off someone's boat.

95% of the plastic bags and all the other shit come from 10 rivers, all of which are in Asia and Africa:

The results, published last November in Environmental Science & Technology, show that rivers collectively dump anywhere from 0.47 million to 2.75 million metric tons of plastic into the seas every year, depending on the data used in the models. The 10 rivers that carry 93 percent of that trash are the Yangtze, Yellow, Hai, Pearl, Amur, Mekong, Indus and Ganges Delta in Asia, and the Niger and Nile in Africa. The Yangtze alone dumps up to an estimated 1.5 million metric tons of plastic waste into the Yellow Sea.

So, do-gooders of the world, if you ACTUALLY want to do good and not just FEEL like you are doing good, go talk to the Chinese and Indians and Africans and impose your idiotic rules on them.

America is cleaner now than it has been in 100 years, so maybe take your boot off my throat and let me use a plastic bag.

Yeah I lost a jar of spaghetti sauce last week.

RIP

CRASH

"fucking liberals"

Five Stars OP!!!!

I believe that would be DEMOCRATS...Same people who banned straws.

It has been very confusing here in Oregon. First, they made us buy those reusable bags, actually they are pretty nice, with handles and everything. Then the Chinese virus shows up and suddenly those bags all have cooties. We can still use them, but the checkers will not touch them or put their groceries into them, and the way they operate those conveyor belts it eventually looks like that famous "I Love Lucy" scene at the chocolate factory.

So, what I do is ask for paper bags, then I have the REAL bags out in my trunk and I put the paper bags inside the REAL bags. That way I can at least be sure that they'll make it into the house!

I don't use bags

I just load it all back in the cart

why did you buy a dozen tomatoes?

How do you get the groceries home? Or into the house once you get home?

You're such a hero!

Can I have your autograph?

hey retard plastic is really fucking bad for the planet. It kills shit, causes cancer, causes homosexuality and is being found in fucking rain.

Literally just buy a fucking thermal tote bag and get over it
