Thank you Loblaws

Yesterday it was announced that the Canada's largest food retailer is starting to phase out the use of the plastic bag (at least in Toronto). Though I cannot say that I'm surprised by this new change it is great when a large retailer finally understands the impact they have on the planet. I'm looking forward to when all retailers follow suit and realize that we can move from the refuse continent to the reuse. I'm sure Louis Vitton will soon make a shopping bag for the truly upscale consumer. Once we see the fashion industry take hold of this trend, we know that everyday moms and dads will not be far behind. Who knows maybe Galen Weston can talk to his mom, Hillary about getting Holt Renfew to be the first luxury brand of shopping bag. 

If you have something new please let me know, I would love to hear your story.
