Going Green?

We all want to live in a healthy environment, so why damage it by purchasing plastic bags when they are one of the main causes of damages to the environment. The more plastic bags that we use, it builds up on our natural landscape and damages the environment. In other words, what I am trying to say is Sobeys has changed a few of their actions to help out the environment.   

These consist of the following actions:

• They have introduced a few years back in 2006 the reusable grocery bag “Green Bag for Life”.
• Cashiers add one more item to the customer’s shopping bag, which reduced bags by 20 percent.
•   In-store plastic bag recycling.
• Using stickers as a proof of purchase on larger items.
• A 5-cent fee to plastic bags was added in the year 2009.

With these actions listed above Sobeys is encouraging their customers to support reusable choices and to benefit our environment as much as possible.
