Kind of makes me wonder if the Hefty and the Glad trash bag empires are behind this, somehow.

I mean, now people have to BUY trashcan liners, when most of us just recycle and re-use our plastic bags from the grocer.

*SHRUG*

I think this is great, All California Residents should embrace this new law wholeheartedly, and in doing so DEMAND that our Political Leaders go one step further and BAN ALL PLASTIC BAGS From EVERY Government Facility, Bring a plastic bag and YOUR FIRED, USE a Plastic Bag as a Public Servant or Public Employee and You are GUILTY of a FELONY. Come On Legislature show us you really mean it.

Wait until the day when even possessing a non-biodegradeable plastic bag will get ya 90 days.

Dog, cat and other owners of messy kids and neighbors beware!

Just like the CFL bulbs with Mercury, cleanup and containment

Have been kicked to the curb

Becuz it sounds so cool.

Save the Earth!

Bury a liebral in your backyard.. Fertilize the world!

But check your local ordinances first. :-)

These laws are always a combination of “do-gooders” and some business that’s going to make money off of it. The do-gooders provide the propaganda, and the profiteers give donations to the legislators. Now I know who the latter were.

More insanity brought to you by the same retarded liberals that FORCED the use of plastic bags when they BANNED paper bags to, yet again, “save the environment.”

I also find it interesting that liberals pollute more than anyone. They just throw their trash anywhere they want. They litter like crazy. CA must be spending millions and millions on cleaning up all the litter liberals create.

Walk the beaches in southern CA. Covered in junk, trash and dog poo (even though there are signs everywhere posting “No Dogs Allowed on the Beach”).

Wasn’t there a story on those reusable bags, the type CA wants people to use? Something about harmful bacteria causing problems ...

Are you a friend of this "Liberal moron", or did you just figure that out on your own? Perhaps it takes one to know one, and you can ferret them out without any supporting information, other than perhaps they live in CA?

If I lived in Kalifornia (I did), I would move out (again, I did). If I were a grocery store owner, I would be thinking about selling the bags for one penny or a dollar for up to 100 bags.

Indeed. Its mentioned in the video by AFP California. San Francisco saw a huge increase in treating patients for food poisoning as a result of bacteria build up in those. Not to mention the increase in greenhouse gasses as a result of the increased paper bag production and that, because they are heavier and bulkier than the plastics, needed more trucks to transport them. But to the intellectually lazy left...you need only say “its good for the environment” and they swoon.

Re: EnviroWackos.

I’m pretty sure this is illegal, but I’m having my family do this for me when the time comes:

Post Humus
by Patti Tana

Scatter my ashes in my garden
so I can be near my loves.
Say a few honest words,
sing a gentle song,
join hands in a circle of flesh.
Please tell some stories
about me making you laugh.
I love to make you laugh.

When I’ve had time to settle
and green gathers into buds,
remember I love blossoms
bursting in spring.
As the season ripens
remember my persistent passion.

And if you come in my garden
on an August afternoon,
pluck a bright red globe,
let juice run down your chin
and the seeds stick to your cheek.

When I’m dead I want folks to smile
and say, “That Patti, she sure is
some tomato!”

To the Kalifornia Freeples...

Buy these while shopping:

Then ask kindly for the cashier to pack your groceries in them!
