PSA: Your 'Zero Waste' Grocery Haul Is Full of Stuff Wrapped in Plastic

I was at the farmers market in Boulder yesterday and watched a lady pull a reusable tote out of a plastic bag that was inside another plastic bag. It matters because all that single-use plastic still ends up in the waste stream even if you feel good about the tote, and I know this because I counted 14 plastic bags, wrappers, or containers in a 'zero waste' stall that day. So what do you do with the plastic that sneaks in before you even get home?
