Yep. For example: at my parents' in suburban TX - grocery stores have recycling containers for plastic bags and give a credit for bringing in cloth bags. Plus I am pretty sure they take more types of plastic than we do in NYC (we take ONLY bottles and jugs that are #1 and #2).
No, it's shiny! I like to meet new people. They've all got stories...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I seriously thought my parents had turned into dirty hippies when I saw their reusable grocery bags. But no! Apparently that kind of thing is all the rage in other places.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
it's Schoolhouse Rocky; a chip off the block. Of your favorite scoolhouse, Schoolhouse Rock!

Including the Preamble to the Constitution, which should come in handy in sixth grade, if his experience is anything like mine.

I was surprised at all the people bringing their own bags in Las Cruces, at the Albertsons. I mean, it's never been a hotbed of recycling either (not counting cans.) But I'd say at least 25% of customers were carting their own bags. I don't know what the Walmarts (a lot of people grocery shop there now- it's driven out a lot of other groceries) look like.
I don't see that around here much.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
We've been bringing our bags for years, but I'm still really inconsistent about it. The SO does better than me, which is good, cause he does more of the grocering than I do anymore.

Wal-Mart is just now rolling out "sustainable" bags. Don't ask why I know this.
