I found in Central America and Mexico, it was the plastic bag. They pretended they didn't understand me when I asked them not to. In Europe, the bags are charged for almost everywhere or people bring their own, something I learned living there. It was a truly valuable lesson in environmentalism. They truly have a grasp on it and their American friends haven't quite caught on. When it has a more direct effect, I imagine they will ramp it up, but, why wait? Don't we subscribe to preventative measures? I thought. Well, there are some stores that charge for bags and I note that the younger generation and the older have gone the way of bringing their own reusable bags... now we need to squeeze the middle age into submission. Charge them. I notice that hurts and drives people to bring their own - to save the 3 cents. :)) Thank you for the important reminder and the good news! I hope we can all be a part of the solution. Have a most wonderful day! Apologies for the low voting power. I am hoping by not using it, it will get back up there. :)) If you have any posts that center around a market or any paid service in your travels, I host a tag called #MarketFriday which is tomorrow. Just drop a link in my comment section if you do it. We love to see markets from all over the world! !tip

Hey Denise! Thanks for your valuable contribution to the discussion. Yeah, to me, it also felt like Europe is generally ahead of the US in this area. While in the US only certain states (like California and Colorado I think) are known for their progressive environmental policies, the concept of recycling and reusing things is much more common and widespread in Europe. Thanks for letting me know about the MarketFriday tag, I will keep that in mind next time I will post about something along these lines ;)

Thank you! I know you visit some pretty awesome places and I am sure that you would be an asset to the tag and maybe even drive more traffic your way. That is never a bad thing.
