Being charged 15 cents for a bag at the grocery store is the system we had three months ago. Now those bags have been removed. Try to keep up.

We’re actually talking about bags at drive-thrus which you now need to pay 15 cents for. Try to keep up.

Reduce, reuse, recycle.

The less energy that goes into producing and disposing of single use paper bags, the better.
