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.

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.....

Whenever I see articles like this I go buy some veal and ask for it to be put in a plastic bag with a paper bag inside it, then double plastic bags to make it stronger.

Not where I live. My local HEB grocery stores often don't even have paper bags. One very serious problem with plastic bags is that they are not biodegradable the way paper bags are. If they are not thrown away responsibly, they accumulate in the environment. Platic bags are a very serious threat to cotton farmers in my region. All it takes is one carelessly discarded plastic bag to ruin an entire bale of cotton. I'm not talking about an old fashioned rectangular bale. I'm talking about large that can only be handled by specialized equipment.

I quadruple bag all my groceries in plastic bags, just to pi$$ certain people off.

I remember in the mid 80's when there was a massive PR campaign to get people to pick plastic over paper to save trees. Now they want us to ditch plastic.

When Asked paper or plastic at the grocery store I say, Plastic, then put that in paper.

Reusable bags are a fad. Environmentalism is a fad.

About a year ago, I was visiting my oldest son and his very-liberal girlfriend in Pittsburgh. He and I walked to the local supermarket to get some items to grill for the game, including some large mushrooms for the girlfriend (vegetarian, of course).

Anyway, my son didn’t want to put it in the available plastic bags ... he decided to carry the mushrooms back to their apartment in his hands. Of course, I would have none of that - grabbed a small plastic bag and placed the mushrooms in it.

On the way back to the apartment, we had this exchange:

Me: “You have something against plastic bags?”

Son: “Yes, they’re bad for the environment. They come from oil.”

Me: “How much oil do you think it takes to make a plastic bag like this one?”

Son: “I don’t know.”

Me: “Let me give you a hint. It’s the same weight both before and after. You could measure the amount of hydrocarbons needed to make this bag in ‘drops of oil’.”
