The end result of this entire thread:
There might be an end to free plastic single-use grocery bags at Publix. There might not be. If there is, you have options: Buy re-useable bags, and reuse them. Buy single-use bags by the case on Amazon and/or similar. Buy paper bags as needed from the stores, which will sell them at a nominal cost per bag. Use boxes normally discarded by the stores you buy stuff from anyway. Buy groceries on Amazon and have them delivered in boxes. Don't use bags or boxes, just load everything up in your car and unload them when you get home. |

"Buy" -- is that a command or a suggestion? Would you impose these inconveniences and costs on the rest of us if you could? |

Was there some part of "you have options" that you didn't understand?

I say THANK YOU PUBLIX! We are into such a self enriching period of time, that this move to help the health of the earth is so uplifting. Plastic bags are more efficient for Publix. Reusable bags will not help the bottom line profit for this food giant. It might even lose them some customers. Doing what is right for all, over personal profit is becoming a lost virtue, so again, God bless you PUBLIX.

Preaching at someone may have the reverse effect.
At this time Publix isn't phasing out plastic bags and has no plans to. I think taking reusable bags is a good thing.

Your objective is to eliminate the option of plastic bags, correct? If not, what's the point of the "no bags" virtue signaling? Last edited by Back9; 01-30-2020 at 07:44 AM. |

Some critical thinking about plastic bags.
There is a vocal group that is "anti plastic bags", and virtue signals by NOT using plastic bags and wants the rest of us to know about it. So, what is the problem with plastic bags? I surmise that there are actually 2 problems 'in play' here:
Question: how does a few people not using plastic bags affect either of these problems? 1) Since plastics use is huge and our standard of living depends on it, how does a few people not using skimpy plastic bags in any measurable way reduce the consumption of plastic? Answer: it doesn't. Would "banning" plastic bags reduce the consumption of plastic in ANY significant way. Answer: no, it wouldn't. So "not using plastic bags" has no effect on either of the problems associated with plastic, why do they do it? I pose that question to the Forum. . Last edited by Back9; 01-30-2020 at 07:47 AM. |
