at grocery stores, etc. If they did have them, you had to pay for them, so everyone was

encouraged to reuse bags or bring their own basket. But, in less than three years, now almost

all the grocery stores offer plastic for free Fortunately, as you’ve probably noticed,

most people here still carry a basket or cloth bag, but I fear it will soon be as bad as most

other places. Maybe people should have more access to the information/links you presented

here!!

difference, one choice at a time. I am encouraged that where we are in BC, so many people bring

their own bags to stores or don’t bother getting a bag at all. It all counts.
