I reusethe produce bags for produce,carrying lunch items that could leak,Thursday,July 254 – 6 p.m.attheCoopYou wouldn’tbelieve whatPeople’sAllianceFederalCredit Unionhas to offer!and even scooping litter. I try to reusethe plastic tubs for carrying lunchitems, but let's face it: most of thoseget recycled and not re-used. Butthose containers would seem to posea much bigger challenge to sustainabilitythan the produce bags, and theproduce bags can even avoid illness.While I carry at least one Chico-bagsling in my purse most of the timeand try to carry at least one cloth sacfor produce, it isn't realistic for me tobe self-sufficient and carry all possiblebags with me in case I, say, wantto stop at the Coop on the way homePlease protect yourfeet and toes whileworking your shiftat the Coop by notwearing sandals orother open-toedfootwear.Thanks for your cooperation,The Park Slope Food CoopFREE Nonmembers welcome at the CoopThursday, July 25, 4-6 p.m.; Friday, July 26, 4-6 p.m.;Saturday, July 27, 10 a.m.-12:30 p.m.;Friday, August 9, 4-6 p.m.;Saturday, August 10, 10 a.m.-12:30 p.m.FREENon members mbers WelcomeRepresentatives efrom People’s Alliance FederalCredit Union willbe atthePark Slope Food Coop inthe Meeting eRoom to signup members for creditunion membership.Learn about: refer a new memberto thecreditunion willbe from work (and many of us don’tlive.at a location that would allow usto stop at home to pick up our producebags before heading to theCoop). And those cloth bags certainlyhave failed me when bagging up, forexample, bulk salted peanuts (saltended up everywhere), so I havelearned that sometimes plastic is thebest option.I've felt strongly for a while thatthe best approach to plastic producebags would be heavy taxation thatwould change behavior. Now thatMetrocards cost $1, the number ofdiscarded and abandoned Metrocardsseems to have been reduced tonear nil. If produce bags each cost(say) 25¢ at checkout, even as an"honor system" thing where thecheckout worker asks the memberhow many new bags they have andthen adds a non-taxable $1 for fourbags, I think that would significantlyreduce overuse of the bags whileleaving them available. I'm awarethat that approach would create newissues and might not be palatable toCoop employees (which deservesserious respect and consideration)or some other members, but seemslike a middle-ground approach. Thepoint being, however, that the currentproposal is simply too vague inits current incarnation to allow for aproper vote. While I respect the proponentsand their very good intentions,some fine-tuning andclarification is in order.Jeanne R.
