Our bag fee goes back into the community. The market takes the money and donates it to a community charity at the end of the month. Frequently, it goes to Freeport Community Services for the food pantry, summer day camp scholarships, the free lunch program during school vacations, the heating assistance program, etc. And we sell reusable cloth bags for two bucks.
I'm all for the bag rules. It means keeping that much more plastic out of the ecosystem and the waste stream. Plastic doesn't decompose, and there's a floating mass of it out in the Pacific ocean that isn't going to go away. Thousands of baby albatross chicks die every year from being fed plastic, as do sea turtles that mistake the bags for jellyfish. Europe has been charging for bags fo a long time, we had to pay for our bags in 1980 when we lived in Norway. It's not that difficult to bring a reusable shopping bag or a backpack and it's better for the environment. Yeah, I just ranted at you. No, I'm not sorry I did. What did you expect a ranger to do?
Bananas are tough. Placement is completely dependent on how ripe they are. If they're still green, you can pack lightweight stuff on top of them, but if they're ripe (or over-ripe), definitely on top of everything except the bread.
That's actually the general idea. A lot of communities here in Maine have banned the use of plastic bags and charge the five cents for paper to get more people to use reusable bags.
I keep hearing it's good, but then again, I heard that about DQ Warriors. Which I may go trade in toward something else today.
Just shot you a friend invite. I like the pencil drawings a lot, by the way.
Nope, my flip phone doesn't play games.
Playing catch up today, as it's the first real day off I've had to myself since BaD started. Glad you finished. And yes, it drove me crazy toward the end, too!
You should have messaged me, I would have looked it up in the guide for you.
