This is a great first step for our society. If more stores would take this step, imagine how much less trash we'd have to deal with -- just for this one item!
Whole Foods will no longer be offering plastic grocery bgs. They'll offer recycled paper bags or encourage use (and offer for sale) those very cool re-useable shopping bags.

Even if you re-use them before you throw them away, it's still trash piling up in landfills. Even though they are recyclable to some extent, most people don't take the time to take them to a recycling drop off station. I do -- if I use them -- but I generally use the grocery totes that are for sale at just about every grocery store now. Mine are pink with flowers!
