Just wanted to share/rant!!
So tonight I had a unexpected
stop at the store..
Just a few items.
Didn't bring my bags,(I reuse/recycle when I use store bags).
Has anyone noticed the new thinner bags the stores now use?
They decompose faster less waste etc/etc,but boy are they thin! (I have a bad shoulder --too much snow -- long day) my excuses are many---
so I put 1 large soda in a bag...
I'm not even out of the store when my soda ripes threw the thin bag BANG on the floor and POP goes my soda.
Of course my soda was replaced but the cashier doubled baged said they just now double bag most items--- go figure???
This leads me to tell you about a project our hospital's cafe tried
Biodegradable silverware
Nice looking and sturdy until
You tried using them as you were eating hot soup the spoon would start lossing it's shape
Your fork the twines went everywhere except your mouth!
That project as good as it sounded only lasted a few months....
I think for the most part I try to keep our planet as "green" as possible
But some times I just wonder??
Any way just thought I'd share
