People may think twice about choosing a plastic bag over a reusable, environment-friendly alternative if the plastic bag appears to come from a colon care facility, an adult video store, or a wart removal clinic.
People on Twitter are cheering for East West Market.

@nytimes Stop supplying them. Only supply bags that are reusable at a cost.— J (@J) 1560406510.0
