FOG BLOG RIDICULOG: PACK YOUR OWN GROCERIES:

FIRST OF ALL I THINK THAT SAINT JOHN BANNING PLASTIC BAGS IS THE GREATEST IDEA, IT WAS DELAYED I THINK BECAUSE OF COVID 19 AND NOW THAT RESTRICTIONS ARE EASING AND OTHER COMMUNITIES HAVE ALREADY PUT THEIR BAN IN PLACE IT WAS TIME! JAPAN AND OTHER ASIAN COUNTRIES HAVE A GREAT IDEA , THEY HAVE COME UP WITH A BAG TO KEEP THE CONVENIENCE IN PLACE BECAUSE IT IS ANNOYING HAVING TO DRAG AROUND THESE RE-USABLE BAGS ALL THE TIME. THE MATERIAL IS NATURAL, LIKE CORN STALK ETC, BREAKS DOWN, IT CAN EVEN BE EATEN, LIKE THE FORKS , KNIVES AND SPOONS..... PLANT BASED MATERIALS THAT MAKE BAGS THAT LOOK LIKE THEM AND AS STRONG AS THEM, THEY ARE IN USE RIGHT HERE IN A FEW CONVENIENCE STORES. THE THING I DON'T LIKE IS NOW ALL STORES NOT JUST 'NO FRILLS' MAKE YOU PACK YOUR OWN STUFF AND STILL MAKES YOU GO THROUGH THE CHECKOUT AT LIGHTENING SPEED , IT WAS HARD TODAY TO DO THAT....I WAS WONDERING A FEW MONTHS AGO WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE, THE NEXT CUSTOMER IS ALREADY WAITING AND AFTER TOMORROW WHEN WE TURN GREEN WILL BE AT THE CASH PUTTING THEIR GROCERIES WHILE WE FUMBLE WITH OUR PAYMENT AND NOW PACKING. I FIND IT DIFFICULT TO PACK THESE BAGS IN A HURRY . IT'S GREAT WE ARE HELPING THE ENVIRONMENT BUT THESE COMPOSTABLE AND NATURAL MATERIALS THAT MAKE THESE BAGS MIGHT BE THE ANSWER! LET'S FIND ANSWERS FOR THE ENVIRONMENT AND THE CONSUMER THAT WILL MAKE EVERYONE HAPPY!
