Online petition urges Target to do away with plastic bags once and for all
โTarget bags are choking the Earth!โ reads an online petition thatโs circulating across social media in an effort to convince Target stores to get rid of plastic bags for good. โFor those of us who also shop at Costco or IKEA, we know we can survive without plastic bags,โ reads the online petition. โ2 million single-use plastic bags are consumed every minute. Even if Target provides reusable bags for purchase, petition supporters are urging the store to make it a โmeaningfulโ amount. All of the stores utilize plastic bags; however, some do have the option to buy reusable Target bags.
