Save The Earth!
I’m doing my part to save the earth. I just purchased two of the new, re-usable Wegmans bags, to replace the plastic bags they use. I’m quite happy with these re-usable bags, as they hold more groceries than the old flimsy plastic bags, and they are re-usable! So I may (almost) never again use a plastic bag, which are non-biodegradable and the manufacture of each one uses scarce, non-renewable resources. I agree with Stlo7 at RochesterTurning, a company can be environmentally friendly and still make profits.

Paige - Great that you are using the Wegmans's bags. I've been asking the cashiers at the Pittsford Wegmans and they tell me that they are seeing an increase in the reusable bag usage.
What "scarce" resources are used in the production of plastic bags?
It requires a lot more energy to produce plastic bags for the rest of my lifetime than it would take to produce a small number of re-usable bags. Energy is a scarce resource. We do not have an unlimited supply of energy. I believe that the plastic bags are made of petroleum products as well.
