Do you know why I think this won't work? Because people are idiots. Look to literally anything that is free. No one will be satisfied with one. People will be asking for their free re-usable bag with every purchase they make. No, charge for them, and charge a decent amount. that way people will buy ONE and actually you know, reuse it. Incentives for bringing your own bag I am completely on board for though. 50 cents off your total purchase of 20 dollars or more if you use your own bag.
As to the straw debate, people arguing against it have NOTHING to stand on. hide behind the minority that needs it so that you can have your precious straw. Come on. it's a complete superlative for 99% of the population. The 1% that need it will find their own alternative that works, because they NEED it. That's how needs work. Just because Disney might save money by no longer providing straws does NOT make it a financially driven agenda.
But if I shop in more than one store then Disney is forcing me to buy another bag? My issue is they use WAY more plastic in the cheap toys they sale than is used in straws. They are not stopping the sale of drinks in plastic bottles, plastic utensils, plastic lids on cups, plastic domes on take out plates at resorts, plastic trash bags, rubber Magic Bands, etc, etc.
As for as it NOT being a money thing.....notice that the only items they are doing away with are items they give out FREE, and they are now charging for bags! I for one will be handing my Walmart or Target bag to the Disney CM for an purchase I make as I do save them for reuse!
