Whole Foods Markets across the U.S. will be celebrating Earth Day by eliminating plastic bags. Once the store on Houston Northcutt Boulevard uses all of its supply, there will no longer be a choice of paper or plastic. Hooray! What a great way for this company to set an example.

Disposable plastic bags are an absolute menace to our planet. Whole Foods offers the only paper bags made from 100% recycled paper. They also offer a Better Bag, for 99 cents, made from recycled bottles. I look forward to seeing even more reusable bags at the checkouts. Happy Earth Day!
