Hello Nick!

Seems really odd to go "resuable bags" and completely stop  
using paper.   Most shops in my area have introduced the  
paperbag in place of the plastic ones. As far as I know, the  
reusable ones aren't even recyclable.

The statement from the LCBO included: "The Crown corporation  
says move will divert some 2,665 tonnes of waste from  
landfills"

But.. why do they think that paper bags suddenly WON'T make it  
to landfill like the rest of paper products the population  
recycles?

Further.. "Customers are encouraged to bring their own reusable  
bag when shopping in-store, and alternatively, may purchase a  
reusable bag," the Crown corporation said in a news release  
Tuesday.

Sounds like they just want to introduce another revenue stream  
with the bag purchases. Perhaps Ford has friends or himself  
invested in the company with the resuable bag contract.

Anyway.. seems odd to suddenly diss paper as a less sustainable  
solution!

"This initiative will help to minimize our impact on the
environment and create a more sustainable Ontario."

"Boxes and eight-pack carriers for cans and small bottles will
still be available for free, the release noted.
