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.

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

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.
