In the early 1980s, paper bags were the go-to for groceries. But in 1982, big stores like Safeway and Kroger switched to plastic because it was cheaper—and soon, plastic bags took over. By the late 1980s, shoppers like Jeanne Bakelar from New Jersey wanted a choice between paper and plastic, out of concern for the environment. David Horowitz examines why supermarkets are offering customers the option of paper or plastic bags on Fight Back! in 1988. #retro #earthday #shopping
