Whole Foods is definitely THE most successful grocery store around even items there are more expensive. Many people concern the evil aspects of genetically engineered food... even though they have consumed A LOT already.
Organic food is just one thing. If your local grocery store also sell organic food, is it going to be as big business as Whole Food? Probably not. It takes excellent decorations to attract customers... that really is an important factor of a successful business.
I like the eco-friendly theme in almost everything they have. The tables are made of bamboo, paper bags over plastic bags, and recycle bins everywhere.
But I saw also these enemies of environment: single-use chopsticks and individually wrapped utensils. Sure, individually wrapped utensils are cleaner, but I don't mind using those that are not individually wrapped... that amount of plastic wasted is huge.
Wooden single-use chopsticks used up a lot of woods... yes, there are some eco-friendlier options but they are not popular enough. Perhaps someone should made them in aluminum and you can toss them in same bin as cans? The world needs even more innovations to reduce garbage!
Here is one idea for Whole Food: reward-driven recycling.
Deposit recyclable items (cans, glass, etc) into vending machine... and rewards will be added to a smartcard for points... collect enough points to earn a discount.
