Urge Publix to Switch to Plant-based Plastics!

Together, we can help Publix change their bag policy to reflect some or all of the following:

1. Opt to use a plant-based polylactic acid plastic (PLA) instead of convential petroleum-based plastic. PLA biodegrades into carbon dioxide and water in about 3 months.
2. Provide an incentive to customers who use re-usable grocery bags, maybe 15 cents per bag. At the family average of 1500 bags per year, that's an annual savings of $225 per year!
3. Charge customers for each plastic bag they use. This will help Publix offset the cost of switching to PLA bags and help to subsidize the patrons who use re-usable bags. here
