You have a very interesting blog here, I'm particularly interested in your trash footprint experiment. Getting our trash output down is an ongoing effort in my household. <BR/>Marigolds2, environmental writer at The Blue VoiceThe TBV Crewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10242096660690825225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29625144.post-48779570129680359542008-01-17T12:57:00.000-08:002008-01-17T12:57:00.000-08:00I'm happy they ask me 'would you like a bag' for s...I'm happy they ask me 'would you like a bag' for small purchases. Bookstores and grocers are notorious not doing this.<BR/><BR/>In Germany, it's quite customary that one brings one's own bags for most all purchases. In supermarkets you have to pay 10c for small bags and 20c for large (tacked onto the bill).<BR/>Clothing and department stores are the cultural exception because of the weather and folding/crease marks (and for advertisement purchases when you're walking around).Mario Vellandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11346374848925019437noreply@blogger.com
