You hear this question every time you go to the grocery store – and I hope your answer is always “paper”. Paper is reusable, biodegradable, and made from renewable sources. Better yet, get a couple of those reusable cloth grocery bags and use those.
Wait! Why does this have anything to do with 2 Small Pills? Well, this post was spurred on because of this article in the press room on the Whole Foods Market web site stating that all of their 270 stores throughout the U.S., Canada and the U.K. will end the use of plastic grocery bags on or before Earth Day, April 22nd, 2008. They become the first U.S. supermarket to commit to completely eliminating disposable plastic grocery bags to help protect the environment and conserve resources.
This is a great idea, and I suggest that we all encourage our local grocery stores, and all stores for that matter, to stop using plastic grocery bags. A healthy Earth is important to healthy Earthlings!
