thanks Carolann!
despite my sniping at the Swiss, I appreciate the European approach to packaging. All the containers for milk and such, were of quickly biodegradable nature. No plastic spouts or rings. You take your own bag to the market, bakery, what have you.
I would do that more here, but the stores are suspicious of people bringing in their own bags; all they see is potential shoplifting. I'd like to see the plastic bags and plastic packaging go away, but really the whole USA would have to make the shift.
