Not quite... i have learned a lot from these dicussions. Furthermore i have become active politically in my riding. I have also come to the conclusion that most Ontarians actually like having the government hold their hand for every little thing.

I love those spots!! Reserved parking for me!!

The last time I went to the Superstore I took a entire roll of those plastic bags and I use them to pick up my dog's crap.

Originally posted by Jayx1 When i was overseas i kept getting these bags that said fully organic and biodegradable "degrades into hydrogen, water and organic material". They looked and felt like normal plastic bags and (gasp) were convenient! (the horror!)

Heard of these, why don't we have them here!?!??


Because they cost more than a plastic bag and provides for less profits to the stores.... right?

You forgot that its also politically expedient to capitalize on ignorance and make plastic bags the enemy.

A shit load for a load of shit LOL

I love it!

I think the bag charge is a good one....I hope they do the same for water bottles, and soon!

Well no, they could just charge you for it. Obviously.

Originally posted by infinity HiGH Did you bother reading Flecs post?? The fact that they're charging 5 cents a bag stops people from mindlessly asking for bags that they don't need.

right - the guy works for one of the stores, so his post must be holy bible

quote:

Sure you can play the "Oh but I use those bags for my garbage" even though Sobey's and Loblaw's bags are usually too small to fit in a regular garbage bin. That's how it has potential environmental benefits, aka. less mindless wasting.

false - bags fit perfectly our garbage bin both in the kitchen and in the washroom, and are in fact too big for my smaller bin in my room

quote:

If you honestly think you're being screwed over by this somehow then write a letter to the CEO/Marketing VP of Sobeys, Loblaws, No Frills, etc and tell them how insulting you think it is that they're trying to pass off an "obvious" cash grab as an environmentally-friendly program.

and maybe I will I wrote letters before, and I stay hopefull.

I know....it makes no sense....reserving parking close to the store for vehicles that are environmentally friendly and making gas guzzlers drive throughout the parking lot looking for a parking spot.

But why let facts get in the way of something that makes everyone feel warm and fuzzy? LOL

i have never understood this shit. Actually none of the "reserved" spots including expecting mothers and handicapped.

So you're telling me you need a closer spot so your walk to the store is shorter, but yet you have enough energy to walk around the store for half an hour? makes no sense.

Someone gets it! LOL

Wonderland is an even funnier situation with the first 5 acres being handicapped zones.

coming soon..fat parking. I cant wait until there is a debate over who amongst the special spaces deserve to be closer than the other.

LOL

It does make sense. Walking around for groceries is a necessity, there's no getting around it.
