We’d like to extend a very grateful thank you to all of our customers. You all have been incredibly supportive of our decision to discontinue the use of plastic shopping bags. Every time we look at the tallies, things are looking better and better.

From January 1 to February 14, when compared to the same time in 2009, we have seen 5,157 more reusable grocery bags used at our registers. This is an increase of 75%! That’s five thousand less pieces of trash. We are very pleased with this number and even more pleased to see that, so far, it’s going nowhere but up.

We’ve said it before, but it bears repeating, that we couldn’t have had this success without the support of our customers. This is just one step on the ladder toward being more environmentally conscious, but it was a significant one. Thanks again to everyone.

Yaba Daba Do,
Kyle
