American societies downfall is going to be wasting too much. I went to Eckerds this morning to get some chap stick. I had a few extra minutes to kill, so I found a pretty card to give to my wife as well. When I checked out with those two items, the lady asked me. Let me put those in a bag for you. Its a nice courtesy, and I kindly responded, no thanks. To which she seemed offended, and looked at me weird, that I would actually carry these two items out, without a bag.

But if everyone who went to Eckerds today who bought two things, didnt take a bag. Eckerds would probably not only save two or three boxes of bags today, therefor increasing their profits. But would also benefit the landfills. Because what am I going to do with that bag? Throw it out when I get home in 10 minutes.

Come on people smarten up.
