How very un-American of you to care about the environment

I would just like to say that I am thrilled with IKEA's recent decision to start charging a nickel for every bag they provide customer's with at checkout. I wish that companies like Whole Foods and Wild Oats (who I think may be one in the same now) would take a queue from our Scandinavian friends and step up to the plate. Many of the natural markets are already giving bag credits or wooden nickels (WO) in the amount of five cents per bag for those that bring their own, but this takes it a step further, and in the right direction, as far as I am concerned. There is no need to contribute the amount of trash that we do from grocery bags because we are just plain lazy and unable to take our own bags to the store with us. The only way we, America as a whole, can be expected to do this is if we are forced to do so. =) So proud.........
