Like small children awaiting the arrival of Jolly Ol' St. Nick, hippies and environmentalists are abound with anticipation for the arrival of Earth Day, just one week away.
Some people may choose to ride their bike on Earth Day. Others may attend an Earth Day Event. If you're Whole Foods, you may decide to no longer offer customers the plastic-bag option.
Last year Whole Foods celebrated the holiday by handing out free cloth bags to customers. This year, they will celebrate Earth Day by no longer giving customers the old-age option, "paper or plastic."
The decision to no longer offer plastic was announced by Whole Foods in January. Ten million bags will be kept out of the environment as a result of this move, said a January article in USA Today.
I wonder how many paper bags will end up in landfills. How many trees will be cut down to accomodate the paper demands of Whole Foods?

That's a pretty sweet movement. Plus you'll look twice as fashionable carrying a fancy new Whole Foods bag...
