Greenwashing
So how have we gotten so far off course? When the label of ‘green’ was introduced, it was seen as a mission statement; something that would entitle the customer to some sense of comfort that they product they were supporting (which was usually more expensive) was working with the Earth’s best interests at heart. Instead we have simply completed a full consumerist revolution; the label has been taken, assigned a cultural identity and used to sell a piece of a lifestyle that is intended to speak more to your peers than to subsidize an environmental commitment.

ha! true. i also wonder how much waste is being created making and selling these bags. but when it boils down to it, look at how the grocery products you are buying are packaged. that’s where the larger impact is i think.

I should get my husband one of those. He’s always bringing home plastic bags.

I had no problem training my ex to use the reusable bags after the first time he lifted a heavy bag and it didn’t rip apart, He also commented that he liked how the foods stayed in these bags over the plastic which would have food rolling all over the trunk. I still need to get on son on board, haven’t figured out how yet.

>lsf, not all hubbies see it that way. Surely, there must be some little inducement that will crack the son… You’re a mother, mothers can do anything.

Thanks for your vote of confidence, but I have been at a loss to find the right incentive for my one son and his wife. I’ve seen small changes and hope more are still to come.
