If we don't have plastic grocery bags, we'll need to purchase new 'other things', including plastic bags, to replace the handy-dandy plastic grocery bags.
But I get the powerful feel-good feelings of reusing shopping bags at the grocery store, I've seen plenty in my area.
I have a great idea.
How about paper bags?
The leftist aka progressive treehuggers forced plastic bags on America. In the name of saving the planet. Now they want to ban them.
the canvas bags that everyone will be using and plopping down on the conveyor belt at the grocery store, will have all kinds of micro-organisms on them. I doubt people will ever clean the inside or OUTSIDE of these bags. These will then, in turn, spread disease... imagine putting your lettuce (which can sometimes peak over the plastic bag it’s in) on top of that same conveyor belt.
How am I gunna clean the litter boxes then?
I remember back in the early 70’s they switched us off paper and onto plastic to try and save trees. Idiots!
For those of us who are cat owners & clean litter boxes daily, this will be AWFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m sure a company will come along w/ small bags that we then have to BUY!!!!!!!!!!!!! It really never ends.
In New Mexico, we used to identify the “F” rating of a dust devil by the number of Walmart plastic bags swirling around in the cyclone. 1 bag = F1, and so on.
If the bags are banned, an important meteorological tool will be lost to us.
I use paper AND plastic.
