Nice job analyzing and putting it in perspective. Pork is for the dog. We ate the chicken and green beans with baked potatoes. Tacos for lunch tomorrow. I already had the beef. It really did not occur to me how much plastic they use in the grocery biz until I was putting all of that stuff away after talking to Cindy and Rod. |

But the real winner was: https://www.earthboundfarm.com/produ...ic-spring-mix/ I like their products and I've never had a problem with the help ****ting in my salad greens but the irony is it comes in a honking big PETE box. At least they are aware of the problem. https://www.earthboundfarm.com/organ...tic-we-do-too/ All of that went into two plastic shopping bags. Another market I go to has paper bags for the mushrooms. I don't know if that is any more earth friendly but mushrooms don't do well in plastic bags. I have a collection of reusable shopping bags that I use for everything from range bags to luggage. The problem comes from remembering to bring one with me when I'm doing the grocery shopping. |

Biggest problem is many people are slobs and you see the bags on the side of the road, etc. I never put a bag in the trash unless is is to wrap something messy. They are either recycled or get a secondary use. I find them to be very handy. I pick up plastic bags all the time in the river but they aren't all "checkout" bags. There are ice bags (lots of them), produce bags, various packaging plastic along what makes up most of the trash, cans, bottles, cups, other styrofoam (probably the big winner by volume) and then strange stuff. We pick up everything. The reward is I will never have to buy another cushion, life vest, small cooler, gas can, drywall bucket or fender ... ever. Want some? ;-) |

Paint Shop 4 had a free version that was openly distributed to computer clubs in the 90s and that is what I am using. I also have a paid for 7 with a lot of bells and whistles I seldom use so I don't use it as much. |
