I’ve been heartened by the various small efforts the village has made, over the years, to help combat the heating up of our planet. One has been the recycling program. However, the problem of recycling plastic bags has been addressed by referring residents to the Jewel stores, apparently the only nearby locations where we can drop off plastic bags for recycling. This has met my needs nicely; however, I do have a question. Pete’s does not provide this service. Why has the village given this grocery firm such a local competitive advantage, i.e., the huge new store, when they do not support the village’s efforts to slow down global heating?
