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....
Thank you. For a minute I thought I was having another senior moment. No one wanted plastic bags, plastic milk jugs, plastic garbage sacks, OR aluminum cans for soda and beer. The nut cases that were in Washington at that time (just like the global warming nut cases today) forced this crap on us.
Milk, soft drinks, beer taste a thousand times better from glass bottles (which we faithfully returned to the store for the return of a deposit). My whole childhood revolved around putting the bottles in the crates in the garage once a week (not that we drank too much soda [it was dear]).
We used cloth napkins, fingertip towels, and rags instead of paper towels, napkins or disposable cleaning products.
Groceries were in paper bags and if you had a really heavy load or wanted to keep something cold or hot you got “double bagged”. You should see the looks I get from the people at the Shop n’ Save when I ask for paper and double bag a rotisserie chicken to keep it warm or to keep ice cream from melting. You’d think I was from Mars.
All the changes forced on us by the same fruitcakes that are shoving all this “green” crap down our throats and all the misery in the financial markets to boot. Rookies. Just ignorant rookies.
