I would like some stores near me (Walmart) to consider adopting Paper bags.<p>I am trying to come up with a solid case and I was wondering if HN community had any ideas.<p>Walmart exclusively uses cheap polyethene bags.
Harris Teeter has paper-bags but you have to insist on it. They always default to the same cheap plastic bag.<p>1. Is there a strong economic case that I can make to convince them?
2. I'm a bit doubtful on the "them" aspect of it. I could just tweet, but that's not very smart in my opinion. Seems too casual.<p>I'm open to all ideas. Thanks.<p>This is my first post, I apologize if it wasn't well written or structured.
Suggest that you point out that paper bags are friendly to our planet and all species that it supports.
How to do that? Are you aware of the film where Charlie Chaplin (as a hobo) eats one of his boots?
You could mimic that but substituting a `salad' consisting of various paper bags. Olive oil might be a healthy dressing to consider.
A few weeks ago a kroger bagger asked me if I wanted paper or plastic bags. I took the paper bags. I said I was suprised they offer it. But the lady said theyve had the option all along.
Why? Paper bags aren't better ecologically.<p>Make people buy and re-use cotton bags for a long, long time.<p>Paper vs. plastic doesn't really matter.
