I went to Rainbow Foods last night to pick up some limes and cranberry juice for my sister last night. While I was in line to check out, I noticed a major difference between the shoppers at Rainbow versus the shoppers at the Wedge.

I looked around and noticed that people were bagging limes, lemons, tomatoes, avocados, carrots, etc. I can understand bagging produce that you might buy in mass multiples – think green beans. But 1 onion? It seems so wasteful.
Next time you’re grocery shopping, think twice about bagging that 1 onion. You can save the plastic that you’ll probaby end up throwing away once you get home.
