it takes seven truckloads of paper bags to equal ONE truckload of plastic... but it' all about ecology, right???Ft. Collins Colorado backed off or enforcing a non reusable bag ban off the table after about 2,500 signatures against.
Government in Cali just likes to show that it has the power to push the people around.
One does not have to be too very old to remember the phony “environmental concerns” that led to the introduction of plastic bags in the first place. It was to save the trees from being cut down and used for paper grocery bags.
That’s right — the eco-kooks were the ones who forced us into plastic bags in the first place.
Lefties are a blight.
More Lib insanity.
Their early excuse was that too many errant bags would take off across parking lots and streets.
I haven’t seen an errant bag blowing across a store parking lot or street in ages.
Give them a few years and the Libs will be complaining about the contamination caused by reusable bags.
Now the lefties with their reusable cloth bags are getting botulism poisoning by not washing the bags after meat juices leaked and then a week later they placed their organic lettuce in the fetid bags.
Just desserts.
Morgan Hill passed a plastic bag ban a few months ago. A local store now uses green colored plastic bags printed with the word “Reusable” on them. I’m wondering if the state ban specifies “single use” bags. These aren’t since they’re clearly reusable. :=)
it takes seven truckloads of paper bags to equal ONE truckload of plastic... but it' all about ecology, right???My family just bought a whole bunch off the internet and we use them to bag our groceries. Take that, California.
What do they use for dog poop?
I wish I could say I opposed this but here we live two miles from the main road and we see plastic bags on the barbwire fence all the time. They’re not ours, they’re not our neighbors, so they must have blown in from who knows where.
As much as I enjoy the convenience of these bags I’d be okay with having my own bags or using paper.
Bag up my purchase for free, or put it back on the shelf and refund my money. Your choice.
Funny it only didn’t work one time...
They should ban dog owners from using plastic too! It’s such a terrible thing these plastic bags. They should use their left hands and their pockets, bring it home to their garden or local democratic precinct office.
California is a hostile communist foreign country.
I can see the average Californian going along with the average leftist schmuck idea... but something this insane, that affects their daily lives in such a negative way... are they all so stupid? all such sheep?
Really, there has to be some kind of explanation here.
Follow the money. Retailers are making tens of millions of dollars selling paper bags for a dime.
They tired of Arkansas (WALMART) Tumbleweeds blowing across the landscape?
That’s California for you. Think of the most ignorant law
you can imagine and those tards will pass it.
“reusable totes” are a breeding ground for bacteria, the
only hope is that California bacteria is as stupid.

Peanuts compared to their fir Ebola case where they will have to recycle the protective gear because they can’t incinerate it because of Cal. EPA rules. I assume the human waste (vomit, feces, etc.) will have to be dumped in the tunnels that cross the border from Mexico for disposal.
Liberalism isn’t about being right. It’s about being righteous. It is all how it makes you feel and results don’t count.
OK, yeah, but...I FEEL so like I’m helping save the planet when I use my reusable man purse. And that’s not a diary I’m keeping, it’s a journal!
How will they wash their reusable totes with NO WATER ?
