So two weeks ago I stopped in at the farmers market where I always shop, but I hadn't been there physically in 6 months or so. There was a sign outside proclaiming that they were abolishing single-use plastic bags, and that they were selling durable ones. The sign was dated in May.
This was entirely a surprise to me, since I shop there via Instacart, and they've had no shortage of single-use plastics to single-and-double-bag all my groceries and drop them on my doorstep. Obviously, when you use a delivery service, there's no way to provide your own durable bags. The pile-up of plastics causes much chagrin in my heart, but if I pile them on a shelf, then I can bring them back to that farmers market and shove them into the recycling bin, and let them do whatever they do with them.
I have no idea what Instacart would do if these bags were banned entirely. Perhaps the drivers would get a clue and carry their own reusables.
