So in our effort to cut down on our carbon footprint, we've been trying to switch from dreaded plastic bags to eco friendly reusable bags. Unfortunately, being I live in what one might call a "transitonal" neighborhood, carbon footprints don't really seem to matter.
I went to our locally wonderfully rennovated ghetto supermarket a few days ago excited about using my eco friendly reusable bags. I thought I just looked too cool with my enviro-bags and my "Don't Worry Earth- I'm here to save you" attitude. After a while of filling my cart with delectable treats it came time to check out. I proudly presented my beautiful bags to the check-out lady. She looked at them and looked at me. The look was as though "What? Our wasteful plastic bags are too good for you white girl" She proceeded to put my items into the plastic bags than place those into my eco-friendly bags. It was like good vs. evil as the plastic touched the sides of my my recylce re-usable bags. Evil winning burning the sides of good with plastic acid.
But oh you UnSafeways of Safeways, Me and my eco-friendly bags will be back to your carbon filled aisles, and next time, you will bag it my way........
