EARTHDAY - Whole Foods to end use of plastic bags by Earth Day


Whole Foods will be ending its use of disposable plastic grocery bags, in all of its 270 stores, by Earth Day, April 22.

The stores hopes that shoppers will bring their own reusable bags, but if not, never fear. Whole Foods will still offer paper grocery bags made from 100 percent recycled paper.

Certainly sounds like a bold step at first glance, but offering paper bags instead, without charge, sounds like kind of an out to me. Although to give Whole Foods credit where credit is due, they are doing more than most mainstream retailers and at least the bags are made from recycled content.
