Say No to Paper AND Plastic!
Your choices at the grocery store matter! The majority of plastic bags given out at most grocery stores are not recycled. Paper is easier to recycle, but it still takes energy to produce, and requires trees. The city of San Francisco, CA has banned plastic grocery bags, as have other countries around the world. What can you do?
Why not say no to paper AND plastic, and get reusable cloth bags? They are extremely durable, come in a variety of sizes, and they last much longer than paper bags. You will be saving lots of unseen energy and producing much less waste.
