[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love Costco but they are the worst about unnecessary plastic.  I buy a little tube of face cream and it comes in an enormous plastic flat pack.  Is that to cut down on shoplifting?  I’ve started paying more to buy that stuff elsewhere so I don’t get the huge plastic pack around it.  
I don’t mind the plastic bags that come with clothes because they can be repurposed for other things, but maybe they could be made out of something more biodegradable [/quote]

I have not purchased a ziplock bag in a decade. I decided I would not buy poop bags for my dogs either. I reuse every plastic bag that comes into my house. I always cut them open carefully and save them to reuse for storing things (easier to find stuff if it's in a clear plastic bag) and poop bags (the ones without holes). I save bread bags and the plastic bags frozen vegetables come in to use for poop bags. I save all those zipper top bags lots of things like oatmeal and nuts come in. I have a basket in my kitchen where I keep them. I wash them out the way I'd wash out a plastic or glass food storage container. It's a small thing, but at least I'm not increasing the demand for plastic by buying plastic bags.

However, I have to buy plastic trash bags. My trash collectors will not pick up trash that's not in plastic bags. So there's nothing I can do about that. [/quote]

Good points. The poop thing is interesting. I might adopt the policy of no recycled bag, no walk! Yes, and all the people who think they are dog lovers can attack me but it is ridiculous. If every time an American dog does a poop, we use plastic, the sea life pays? Nope, my dog can relieve herself in the back yard thank you. [/quote]

It would be better to not have a dog at all than to refuse to exercise it. I can’t believe you are actually proud of your bizarre choices.[/quote]
