The Sean Graham Revolution

Let me tell all you folks a little story about plastic bags. Once upon a time there lived a little plastic bag named Yellowstone Cutthroat. He lived in a small independent grocery store where the customers were loyal and the prices low. Yellowstone was separated from his family to be filled and carried with one loaf of bread, four cartons of yogurt, two ears of corn and a small package of granola. Scenery and life changed forever for our little Yellowstone Cutthroat.
The fresh breeze outside felt amazing, the sunshine was everything he had ever dreamed and the ride in a vehicle brought a little plastic smile to his plastic bag face. The little bags chattered in the back with the crisp wind rolling off their surfaces while the Human drove her groceries home. Once she arrived home and unpacked her groceries she thought about recycling the plastic bags. Yellowstone had heard about this and always knew he would meet his family at a large plant where plastic bags lived happily ever after.
There was a huge problem though. After much research the Human found that these bags are not recyclible through normal venues. This proved to be tragic not only for the Human land but also for the little Yellowstone Cutthroat who seemed doomed to never see his family again. The Human would not accept this and took the bags back to the grocery store and demanded that they come up with a solution for this problem. They only smiled and said, "We'll gladly take those from you, ma'am. If you read the bag a little closer it says that returning the bags to the grocery store allows us to reuse and recycle them in a manner best fit for the environment and for these little bags." Yellowstone's heart raced as he was placed in a bin next to his mom, Bonneville Cutthroat.

Recycling is very important and I hope that if you find the means to do so, you will.
