So let me get this straight. I go to the grocery store and buy a lb. of ham wrapped in plastic, a loaf of bread in plastic, milk in a plastic jug, napkins wrapped in plastic, a salad in plastic, and they won't give me a plastic bag to carry it home because the plastic bag is bad for the environment?

Grocery bags used to be made out of paper. Then plastic happened because it was CHEAPER and the grocery stores were able to cut costs and profit from shitting the environment. Now they charge you for (usually plastic) bags and guess what, yeah they make that much more profit.

We have to remember that corporations that do "right" only appear to do so. There's always only profit, and then spinning whatever they choose to do to make more profits into being nice and all that.
