Save the Planet?

So, the local commissary on the military post where I live has decided to "go green" by no longer allowing their grocery bagging crew to double bag items. I totally get this. Don't use as much plastic, there's not as much to get rid of / recycle. Everyone wins.

They also have those green cloth reusable bags that you can buy. In the face of no double bagging, and also wanting to help do my part to conserve resources and not pollute, me and my wife have been buying a few of those bags each time we go to the store. Eventually we will be completely without plastic bags at all.

Imagine my surprise when I got to the car after our last grocery trip to find not only were some of my groceries double bagged, but the three green "eco-friendly" bags we had bought were nicely and neatly wrapped in plastic bags for us.

You do the math.
