Time to Declare War on Plastic Bags

[cardinalkarp]

Leave the cloth bags in your car. It helps me remember.

I do that and STILL forget them!

It's ridiculous how the Schnucks(Grand and Gravois) that I'm closest to handles bags. Unless you say anything, they'll always default to plastic. And if you do actually say "Paper", they usually will have to go and find them elsewhere. Then if they do actually have any, they'll gladly fill paper bags with your groceries....AND THEN PUT THE PAPER BAG INSIDE A PLASTIC BAG. It's ludicrous.

I have to literally tell them: "And don't put the paper inside a plastic bag, please". Sheer stupidity.

I'm always turning down bags for my one or two items purchases, and I get a lot (too many) confused looks. "No bag?! But how are you going to carry things out?"

Next time just say, "By Juggling!!!"

"I went to the store, bought eight apples. The clerk said, “Do you want me to put them in a bag?” I said, 'No, man, I juggle. But I can only juggle eight. If I’m ever here buying nine apples, bag ‘em up!'"

Rest in Peace, Mitch!

so if you stop using plastic bags what are you using for trash bags?

I toss it in my neighbor's yard.

Seriously, Chicago finally launched a real recycling program, which for me means no longer carting volumes of white paper, magazines, cardboard, glass bottles, foils, and scrap metal over to the local center run by a nonprofit. The city now even takes plastic.

We still use plastic bags for trash, but we only generate 2-3 small bags per week.
