   Seems really odd to go "resuable bags" and completely stop     
   using paper.   Most shops in my area have introduced the     
   paperbag in place of the plastic ones. As far as I know, the     
   reusable ones aren't even recyclable.   
      
   The statement from the LCBO included: "The Crown corporation     
   says move will divert some 2,665 tonnes of waste from     
   landfills"   
      
   But.. why do they think that paper bags suddenly WON'T make it     
   to landfill like the rest of paper products the population     
   recycles?   
      
   Further.. "Customers are encouraged to bring their own reusable     
   bag when shopping in-store, and alternatively, may purchase a     
   reusable bag," the Crown corporation said in a news release     
   Tuesday.   
      
   Sounds like they just want to introduce another revenue stream     
   with the bag purchases. Perhaps Ford has friends or himself     
   invested in the company with the resuable bag contract.   
      
   Anyway.. seems odd to suddenly diss paper as a less sustainable     
   solution!   
      
   "This initiative will help to minimize our impact on the   
   environment and create a more sustainable Ontario."   
      
   "Boxes and eight-pack carriers for cans and small bottles will   
   still be available for free, the release noted.
