Congratulations for eliminating plastic bags! Perhaps you can put large signage up infront of the store to remind us to bring in our resuable bags? I always have them in my car, but don’t always remember to bring them in.

“No more plastic bags” is NOT impressive if you still provide paper bags, which require very large amounts of (usually non-renewable) energy to make, even when made from recycled paper. How about “no disposable bags, period”? That would be a real step forward.

Edward – Thanks for your post. This is just the first step of many to eliminate disposable bags. Here is a link to our tomato talk blog which explains why we have started with plastic. http://tomatotalk.earthfare.com/2010/04/19/the-paper-versus-plastic-debate/ . Thanks – Jack
