This just goes to show that every trend that is allegedly for the better has unintended consequences. Think back to the early 90s when SUVs were being marketed heavily. I remember seeing a bunch of stories about how safe they were and how women, especially, felt safe in them and felt comfortable putting their kids in an SUV rather than a car. We all know how quickly that turned. The new energy efficient light bulbs turned out to be a problem if they broke. Now reusable grocery bags carry bacteria. The list goes on and on.

Went thought the bag thing in the mid eighties. Was ok for a while, and made me feel virtuous but didnt do anything for the environment. I now ask for renewable bags, ie paper, so I can start my fires in my woodstove.
