Green Grocery Bags in Metaline Falls

Three cheers for the Falls Market!

It recently changed its plastic grocery bags to the Hippo Sak, which uses less plastic while being stronger than traditional bags. It is also recyclable - that is, if you can find a recycler who will accept it (try Earth Works in downtown Spokane, if nothing else). Also, the green Hippo Saks that the store had when I was there a few weeks ago are made completely from 100% post-consumer recycled materials. It's great to see the store is able to promote and benefit from more eco-friendly products.

Of course, a re-usable cloth shopping bag beats a plastic one any day...
