That is great.
It might be the only way, in hick infested West Georgia, to get people to think about out something other than themselves and every possible way to save 3 seconds of their precious day. Unless it's spending a minute to find the "on" switch to save any effort exertion of any sort.
There are very few of us that bring our own bags to the stores. It's always the same few that I see. We kinda nod and acknowledge each other as if in some secret society. This area reinforces the statement that we need to worry as much about what type of kids we leave our world as what kind of government support we need to leave our lazy-assed parent parroting offspring.
My mom lives in an Atlanta suburb, sixty miles away and it's a whole different attitude. Bike lanes and most people bring their own bags----filled both to and from the store. Recyclables to the bin and groceries to the pantry.
