What a waste it is. It's all used once then discarded, then most of it it chemically inert so it won't biodegrade, thus filling the landfills for hundred of years. Not a pretty picture.
Rant over now.

I tend to think your post has No direct merit. My next door is a district manager for the big Chain you mentioned above and I know very well the company philosophy has started to recycle more and more into the coming future with Lee scott advice. The very bag's you use in store level's have recycle centers yet the company has worked with there vendor's into packing less waste and material's to ship them saving them a lot on money on tranportation cost. If you want to bone pick just one retail chain you might as well review Target coles ,Cosco and the rest. Thank's for the rant but serves no purpose singling out one retailer when they sell biodegradable product's in store level yet understand the world is ever changing take for example there green global store's in arizona.
have a great weekend
