I live next door to this town... Say goodbye to my business.
Do it for the children!!
Here in West Hollywood they’ve banned plastic bags. They sell brown paper bags for 10 cents, or you can bring your own bag and use it. It’s not a terrible thing.
Here is a tidbit of information about plastic bags and stores. The reason they use plastic (and push it) is, they are a ton cheaper to make than paper bags. It has nothing at all to do with “saving the earth”. Stores would rather you go with plastic and they will preach how easy it is to recycle, how easy it is to carry your groceries, etc. Bottom line is the bottom line! Cheaper.
If you are feeling overcharged by your grocery store, demand paper bags! It cost them much more!
Weren’t plastic bags sold to the public as the ideal replacement for those ecologically-devastating paper bags that were deforesting the world? The new plastic bags were supposed to be biodegradable and far less wasteful.
Of course, as with every other liberal feel-good initiative, the reality never corresponded with the on-paper explanation. The UV-degrading bags were too expensive, so they disappeared quickly from stores, to be replaced with the ever-more-flimsy polythene bags we now see, which litter the landscape. And now we’re being asked to go to “reusable” bags, which have been shown over and over to be so thoroughly bacteria-laden that they pose a genuine health hazard to those who use them.
As is always the case, the liberals look for the most inconvenient and reality-ignoring solution, meanwhile trees are a prime example of a renewable resource; nothing more than a slower-growing crop (or, if you ask a farmer, a pernicious weed).
Whatcha gonna do with the dog poop then?
“I know! We just won’t pick it up!”
Now, they want them banned because they 'never go away'. What's next? Paper again? How about using all the cardboard boxes they stores' produce and product comes in. No bags but you get all the boxes you want.
It's amazing she was able to bear up under the strain...
Voting in austerity. Libs are insane and we’re doing nothing to stop them.
The bag is not the problem. It’s people who let the bags blow around and get loose in nature. This ban is misplaced.
Its pretty amazing some days to see how many plastic bags are stuck to the corn stalk stubble in the fields nearby.
I'm far from a tree hugger, but if you want to live in a clean town, you can't throw that stuff everywhere.
Kuwait and Iraq were my eye opener ! Plastic water bottles and trash everywhere.
Course that is the least of their worries.
There’s a new material for making grocery bags. It’s biodegradable, easy to use, and it’s simple to assure a constantly rejuvenating supply that’ll go on forever. It’s called... paper.
Burly men involved, though.
No kidding....They did this all over California and it hasn’t changed anything except the bag industry
Walmart shopping bags are the state bird here in Nevada.
Yet another in an endless line of Massachusetts busybodies with nothing of importance on which to spend her time.
Waiting for the next big thing, Transgender Plastic Bags who work for Minimum Wage and don’t get paid Overtime and want free Birth Control.
I thought our town was bad with our proposed gun laws. Jeez.
