I go to the store and buy a pound of sliced ham in a plastic bag, a loaf of bread in a plastic bag, a gallon of milk on a plastic jug, a pack of napkins in plastic wrap, a store-made salad in a plastic tub, and plastic bottles of mustard and ketchup, but they won’t give me a plastic bag to carry it home because the plastic bag is bad for the environment?
