Nice Plastic Reductions At Whole Foods

In making last night's fettucine with peas, asparagus, and pancetta, I used a bag of frozen peas from Whole Foods' own 365 brand, and was pleased to see that the lighter-feeling bag proclaims that "our new bag uses 25% less plastic." Nice move, that will hopefully influence some other brands to do the same. Also, at least at the Pearl Street store, plastic bags have recently been replaced with paper ones in the bulk section. Closure of a paper bag containing dry goods that would love to spill out everywhere on the way home is going to take some practice, but it seems like a good adjustment, and plastic bags are still available in the produce department if something just won't work with the paper bags.
