Megyn, a few weeks ago I heard you talking on America’s Newsroom when you voiced genuine surprise that people are choosing to use reusable clothe bags over plastic bags when shopping. My guess is, that if you knew the consequences of our “use a plastic bag for 10 minutes & then throw it away” mentality that you’d be at the head of line encouraging people to dump the plastic bags and begin using alternatives. It is clear that you are smart & savvy enough to know using plastic bags is so yesterday!
[...]To see the consequences of what this means please view these two videos. One was produced by VBS TV and the other is from a Nightline segment. Both videos tell a compelling story.

I don’t know anything about that. I’m just here for the pictures! :)
I like my plastic bags, stuff won’t leak through them as they would with paper or cloth. Yes, I do recycle or reuse my plastic bags.
I use my plastic bags to line my wastebaskets.
the doctrine of original sin promoted by secular, marxist environmenalists.
Me too. I like my plastic bags, and walking by the tree hugging hippies with a cart full of them. From my cold dead hands!
Oh puhleese, just leave Megyn alone before she kicks your butts.
The same people whining about plastic bags turn around and line their garbage cans with plastic bags....I recycle and reuse mine for many uses around the house.
You should leave a comment at yonder blog.
This thread is useless without pictures
Pictures of Kelly that is - not plastic bags
Your comment made it worth the click for this post! LOL!
We wouldn’t have plastic bags at our grocery stores were it not for the efforts of these pin heads in the past trying to save the earth by eliminating paper bags.....
Unintended Consequences....
When I first read the title, I was thinking :”Sanyo plastics? They make tv’s and plastic too? That’s kind of cool.”
Same here. And to scoop the kitty’s presents into.
plastic bags are great I reuse them for all kinds of things picking up dog waste, as trash bags for wastebaskets, for bag luches and for the used cat litter, I would rather a plastic bag from recyled plastic than a paper or cloth bag, plus the ‘fact’ that plastic bags are evil is pure BS

Evil plastic bags. Take it from the Environmental Protection Agency : paper bags are not better for the environment than plastic bags. If anything, the evidence from life-cycle analyses favors plastic bags. They require much less energy — and greenhouse emissions — to manufacture, ship and recycle. They generate less air and water pollution. And they take up much less space in landfills.
That’s what I’m talkin about! Thanks!
