However, Trader Joe seems to have taken it to a whole new and terrible height: Persian cucumbers are buried in hard plastic shells.
Tomatoes are packed in crumpled plastic bags.
Tea bags packed separately.
Greeting cards packed with plastic protective film.

Replace the plastic sleeves on the greeting card with something made of renewable, compostable materials. (
But do greeting cards really need sleeves?
Other stores don\'t seem to think so. )

I hope so, and it will be more impressive than the first action.
Trader Joe\'s claims to be a more socially conscious choice for young hipper urbanites and should be a leader in sustainability rather than a reluctant follower.
This is an opportunity to do so.
I would never recommend that people stop shopping at Joe\'s because of plastic habits.
