Going through other people’s trash is sooo California.

If one cannot reduce the amount of a product they're using, then one should attempt to reuse it. Furthermore, if one cannot reuse the product, than once should attempt to recycle it.
It sounds like Berkeley is trying to encourage people to reuse rather than recycle. Reusing tupperware uses less resources than recycling.

when at the pump I always pull out early to give the concrete a cleansing.....no reason to get her preggo....

Right now, I do take my groceries home in plastic bags because I reuse them all the time. It wouldn't hurt me to use regular canvas or other type of bags but I'm too lazy. Contradiction, huh?
I remember when I was younger and bought our groceries in J-Town, we would use hard plastic bags to carry our groceries home to EP.
when at the quick mart, I let 'em bag it first, then pull out what I carried to the counter, turn around and just walk away with the usual sadistic laugh.....if I got it there w/o it, I can get to vehicle the same way.....
I hate those things.....only at the grocery store when required do I succumb to the plastic bubbas....

Local news is all beta males and dumbed down.

Re-using when it comes to food product packaging is a bacterial accident waiting to happen.
Exactly. Unintended consequences.
The enviro-fascists are causing real chaos in Europe. They want to impose their lifestyle on you because you are destroying the Earth.

The grocery store that I go to here in ABQ collects plastic bags to be recycled by the city.
Walmart does that too but my wife has this thing about putting foodstuffs in the inside trash can (not the bin). She'll bag everything that she thinks will stink up the inside trash can. I just throw it in the grey bin outside. I'm the one that doesn't like unbagged food stuff into the giant bin. It stinks terribly and makes a big sloppy mess.
