Lunds and Byerlys Cares (a little)

I like to ramble about companies and products that I like.  Lunds and Byerlys are deserving of my props.  While I must first admit that Lunds and Byerlys is a trash mongering, overpriced, grocery store for snobs, they are also making a small effort to do some things right.  Unlike other stores who give no shits and shall not be named.  Just kidding, I mean Walmart. 

So why is Lunds and Byerlys deserving of my much-coveted props?  

When you walk in the door they have bins to recycle cans and regular plastic.  They also have a bin for soft plastic, also known as plastic film.  Plastic film is your different bags and packaging material that is not accepted by municipal curbside recycling.  

If you head back to their eating area they have more recycling bins as well as a compost receptacle.  They have detailed signage to ensure that the right things go into the right bins.  The signage warms my heart as most people think they know a lot about recycling but actually know very little.  It has to go into the right place to matter bruh.  

Lunds and Byerlys has a mouth-watering salad bar.  I usually avoid it because it costs so darn much and because they have plastic salad containers.  When I do fall victim to temptation, I take comfort in knowing that their plastic salad containers are made from recycled bottles.  It isn't the best option but its better than nothing.

If you use the bathroom at Lunds and Byerlys, you will notice that the bin you toss your paper towel is labeled "compost."  Glorious.  An energy efficient hand dryer would be better but still a step in the right direction.

When you can't find what you need at Target, give Lunds and Byerlys your business because they care...a little.  That's more than that other store that shall not be named.  (I mean Walmart again.)
