Hi Dale,
RH> The HI one came out while we were there; cut our (my) consumption
RH> dramatically. I don't think we even filled one grocery (brown paper)
RH> bag in the remaining 3 years we were over there.
DS> Around here, there is a $0.05 charge for plastic bags. I believe it
DS> is an ordinance that varies with county, but it may be state wide.
DS> I'm
DS> uncertain if the stores charge for paper bags -- if they have any.
DS> OTOH, the restaurants in our village give out a lot of paper bags with
DS> handles which have multiple recycle options. There are places that
DS> collect them for things like food banks, school lunches, etc.
Around here, Wegman's has done away with plastic bags, paper ones are a
nickel each. Aldi and Lidl have both, charge for both with plastic a
couple of cents more per bag. Not sure what other stores charge as we
mainly shop Wegman's and bring our own bags. Also, I know up in New York
State, Wal-Mart bags are all paper; I think the state has outlawed all
plastic bags. We have a good assortment of bags for shopping; some are
insulated--good for what we want to keep cold, either with other
groceries of the same sort or "blue ice" blocks. We've a couple of bags
we bought from Aldi that are insulated on one side (with a zipper
closure) and not on the other for non perishables,canned goods, etc.
