I'll be green when it doesn't require a major change to the way I do things.
so just as long as you're not inconvenienced?
I guess you're trying to make me look bad by using an Al Gore buzzword, but yea...that's exactly what I said.
It's about cost vs benefit. If I can do something like turning off lights or using CFLs that does not require a major change in my day to day activities, sure. However, something that's a huge pain in the ass like carrying around a bunch of reusable bags, I will not do, because it doesn't really help much and it is a pain in the ass.
Honestly I have never seen An Inconvenient truth (nor do I care to), and was unaware that Al Gore had copyright on the word "Inconvenience"
Carrying around a few reusable bags is a "huge pain in the ass"? You have other problems then I guess.
:roll: Whatever, it IS a pain in the ass to carry them around, yes. You also have to remember to put them back in the car afterwards, and if you've forgotten to do that ahead of time, it rules out just stopping at the grocery store while you're already out and weren't planning on it. Not to mention it means I have to buy bags specifically for the purpose of picking up dog crap.
So, toolish as you might want to be on the subject, yes, carrying around reusable bags is a pain in the ass and I'm not going to do it. In fact, maybe I'll double or triple bag my groceries from now on...I'd hate for those thin plastic straps to break!
