That’s true about the doggie waste. This morning we “repurposed” two of our grocery store bags. I’m betting that these greenies are all about the little stations in parks where you can get plastic bags to use to pick up dog waste. We just reuse what we get at the grocery store. And my main gripe is that the reusable bags are not washed and become gross very quickly. Milk and meat are two things that go into bags and leave residue. Premade soup and veggies do too. And the people who use them plop them down on the conveyer belt where I’m then supposed to put mine. Our local Whole Foods store (I do love fresh ground peanut butter) used to have over half the people using the reusable and charging extra for bags. They have changed the policy on charging extra for bags and the number of reusables are dropping so hopefully the publicity is working. Decades ago Mr. Mercat and I helped start a tiny food coop (its now a huge supermarket) One of the main problems is people reusing bags which created roach problems. Of course we couldn’t wouldn’t use pesticides so we got shut down by the health department. Mr M and I moved on.
