Whole Foods Does Away With Plastic Bags
Whole Foods just made a bold step in further establishing itself as the leader in health conscious and sustainable grocery retailer with its decision to stop using plastic bags, in its press release today:
“…it will end the use of disposable plastic grocery bags at the checkouts in all of its 270 stores in the U.S., Canada and the U.K. with the goal to be plastic bag-free by Earth Day, April 22, 2008.”

Going green(er) is as much about what we STOP doing as it is about doing something new. Comppanies like Whole Foods are leveraging their multiple locations to make a big impact. Now let’s think how small businesses can leverage their impact…maybe through their customers?
