Question from Audrey:
The cashier at the cafe in my office building where I get my lunch most days always makes a comment when I take a little white bag to store my sandwich, utensils, etc. She’s mentioned that they’re expensive and has implied that I should recycle them and bring old ones back with me to re-use. I don’t see anyone else doing this! Isn’t the cost of this little bag included in the food we buy?? I think I’m entitled to use a new one every day! What do you think?
