If we boycott the plastic bags maybe they will use Compostable bags instead. These bags are biodegradable and should decompose in the landfills in 30 days.

I have some re-usable canvas bags, which I use, but if I'm running low on plastic bags (which I use for small trash cans and kitty litter), I leave the canvas at home and re-stock on the plastic ones. I feel like I'm at least recycling and not tossing them in the trash.



same for us. love our canvas bags!

I use Peapod so they do use the plastic. I do reuse them in my house and then recycle them.



I sometimes use peapod too, but while the delivery person is bringing the stuff in and checking it over, I empty the plastic bags and they will take them back for you.

Also, Stop and Shop give 5 cents back for every bag you bring. . . . .it does not have to be the reusable ones. You can bring your own plastic ones if you have any laying around your house.

About the birds ingesting the bags...the same is true for balloons. So please think twice about buying balloons for your next party.

I saw that Cheesecake Factory bags are biodegradable.
