Publix isn't the only game in town
Not offering plastic bags any more isn't a deal breaker for me, but then I always ask for paper anyway. Also, there are hundreds of other stores in this area that do use plastic bags. Re-cycling them at Publix is a no brainer. That's what I use at Aldi. If you get the newspaper delivered, those clear pastic bags are great for pet deposits. And they fit in your pocket easier (on a side note, they're wonderful for packing shoes in a suitcase). So if Publix discontinues the plastic, they'll just be one more store making a tiny difference in the waste problem.
