They banned plastic grocery bags in Austin back in March. I thought it was going to be a pain, but it’s not bad. I just keep a couple of bags in my backpack in case I hit the grocery store on the way home from work.
Banning the bags is, honestly, not the disaster everyone makes it out to be. You adapt. People are assholes when it comes to litter. Saw a young gentleman get off the bus yesterday. He took the last cigarette out of his pack and tossed the box over his shoulder onto the ground. That seriously irritated me. I wanted to see him get busted and fined. Cigarette butts and boxes are about 80% of the trash I see on the ground.
That’s not the point.
