Our Publix Mission challenges us to be responsible citizens in our communities. Part of that mission is to meet today's needs while being mindful of what's essential for tomorrow. Simultaneously, we strive to meet the needs of our customers, many of which have preferences for bagging their groceries which includes the use of plastic bags. While some would suggest that paper bags are better for the environment than plastic bags, this simply is not the case. Reusable bags are the better option. Therefore, we continue to promote the use of reusable bags.
