I'd really to know why the squeezy things are nowhere to be found.

Yeah well that's the way Trader Joe's is and I don't care. :)

Whatever floats your boat. :)

I go there for certain items and I'm not going to feel bad about the way they package their stuff if I happen to grab some produce there. Especially since I took the bus up there, walked home, usually fit everything in my backpack, and keep my electric bill down to about 12 dollars a month. I do what I can and am not going to feel bad about an occasional matter of convenience.

I applaud you and your efforts. You're certainly better than I do in those respects.

I just think Trader Joe's and other stores are silly when they wrap produce like that.

Of course, I go and get takeout in a million plastic/foil containers without a second thought...

I don't know anything about their history or anything, but it seems like they just decided not to have a high-maintenance produce section and scales at the checkout so they could be smaller while still offering interesting things. There's a little bit of plastic wrap there and a recyclable cardboard tray, but no huge rolls of plastic bags. It's a tradeoff.

Excellent points.

Oh hay I just learned that the tray is compostable, not recyclable. I can take it to work and put it in the compost bin!

I want access to compost bin. :(

For now I just give wilted veggies to a friend with a rabbit.
