GREENFIELD—Lauded as “a sensible step in the fight against throwaway culture,” Greenfield resident Ashley Cuhna repurposed one of her “gazillion” Giant Eagle reusable bags yesterday morning to scoop up a pile of her dog’s shit.
“I’ve got a drawer bursting at the seams with these things,” said Cuhna tying off the end of the bag. “You line the bathroom trash can with them, you tote around a few non-essential items, sure, but I still end up tossing a chunk of them in the trash every few months, so when I was short of doggy bags on our last walk, it felt like a natural next step. I’m just thankful that I can do something like that in a way that doesn’t wreak environmental havoc like that thin plastic does.
Cuhna’s neighbors confirmed she is “very clever” at reusing the bags, including her most recent project of fashioning several of them into a cover to fool sanitation workers into accepting 12 household chemical cans and a TV.
