The Sprouts policy to charge for bags is just a stupid idea that is costing them business because a lot of people resent being told what to do. If they actually wanted to reduce the amount of plastic, why do they package most of their products in plastic?
I think that thin plastic bags are more likely to be blown around and end up in a lake or the ocean than the foam plastic food containers which are heavier. I wonder which would deteriorate faster paper of plastic bags.
