Welcome to 2J's Fresh Market
Join Us In Saying No To Plastic!
Just as many people like to start the new year with resolutions, we here at 2J's have decided to make a positive change of our own. The negative environmental impact of plastic bags has become increasingly widespread. At the same time, more environmentally-friendly options have become increasingly available. With this in mind, we have decided to no longer offer plastic bags at our checkstands. We will continue to offer paper bags, boxes and several styles of reusable bags to fulfill all of your shopping needs. So join us and help make a small but important change by saying no to plastic!
-According to The Wall Street Journal, the U.S. goes through 100 billion plastic shopping bags annually. An estimated 12 million barrels of oil is required to make that many plastic bags.
-Four out of five grocery bags in the US are now plastic.
-Plastic bags cause hundreds of thousands of birds, sea turtle and other marine animal deaths every year because these creatures mistake plastic trash for food.
-Many countries, like China, Ireland, and Australia, have banned or have placed restrictions on single use plastic bags.
-Each high quality reusable bag you use has the potential to eliminate an average of 1,000 plastic bags over its lifetime.
