So they still allowed plastic bags for meat and produce...and they actually allowed for "reusable" bags, so some stores just started giving out THICKER plastic bags. Ugh. So the stores still offered plastic, but I've got mesh bags that I use.

I have notice there is more and more awareness on plastic pollution than before recently. The healthy food store we go to actually gives 3cents for every bag that bring to put your products in and I always take my own bags. Thanks for sharing this ideas. Pinning & tweeting. Visiting from #WasteLessWednesday ! Have a healthy, happy & blessed week.

Then I put them on the belt first. If I just have a few things to get and carry my bag in, I simply tell them that I try not to use plastic and that's why I make my own totes. <br />Question for ya-when you were living in Hawaii, what do people use in the produce department for their items? I have separate cloth mesh bags that I use, but I was just wondering what the grocery stores there offer their customers? <br />Thanks for your great work!daisy ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06129079277073067462noreply@blogger.com
