I just finished making a purchase at Lowe’s. While there, I bought a reusable Lowe’s bag so that I could carry the items I had purchase home and help the environment by using one less plastic bag, now and in the future.
The cashier kindly folded up the reusable bag and put it in a plastic bag to bring home. She seemed shocked when I suggested otherwise.
Oy.
People here always are a little surprised when i handle one of my reusable bags instead of using the plastic bag they’re willing to give me. It kind of makes me feel i am helping to save the world…
It seems like the most sensible thing to do. I wish the stores here in the states would start charging per plastic bag to encourage more people to by the reusable bags.
At least she didn’t try to double bag it…
