We also have five cats. Lost #6 in August. Our friends save their plastic shopping bags for us. We have lots of friends, thank heaven! :)

Beat me to it. My second thought after STFU, Joe.

You put plastic in recycling bins. Somebody comes along and recycles it. That’s what you do if you believe people are intelligent, moral beings. If you believe they’re imbeciles who have to be lead around by the hand, you ban plastic bags.

I don’t have an issue with this, oceans or not. Really? This is what we’re going to get bent about?

I already use canvas re-usable bags for groceries. In Europe they charge you if you don’t bring your own bags. We are late to this trend and it’s something we should do.

That said, it doesn’t need or require government interference. Good companies should just stop providing bags. They sell the canvas ones for 99 cents. I refuse to believe people can’t afford 4-6 of these things. I use them over and over every week.

back to your scheduled Biden @

We’re not rich so having to buy enough $2 bags to use for groceries could be a bit of an imposition. However, what about the truly poor? Doesn’t Joey care about them? I mean, according to the media and progressives, they’re too poor to get an ID for $4 for voting purposes.

I also have a collection of plastic bags that have come in quite handy over the years. When we went to Hawaii last year I bought a bunch of pretty cloth bags for $2 each for groceries which I plan on using if and when Arizona enacts a ban on plastic. Hawaii outlawed plastic bags in July 2018 and charged 15 cents per bag. The good news is they can be reused up to 125 times. I’m sure Frys will love it when I bring in my own Safeway bags, lol.

Recycled plastic should be processed in the United States. Overseas processors do not have the necessary capacity and regulations that prevent their excess plastic from being dumped into the ocean.

But not all of them because of a return to infantile reflexes

Kenya banned plastic because Kenyans are too primitive
to educate them to not throw their plastic in the river.

I still can’t figure out how my grocery bags
leap from my recycle bin and make their way to the ocean...

Joe would agree to banning ponies if one of the dozens who attends his rallies asked him if he agreed with banning ponies ... seriously ...

I save ours and recycle them. As trash can liners in all three bathrooms and the can under this desk. And riddle me this, Freeple (and Slow Joe): what will you do about the millions upon millions of people nationwide who have large kitchen cans, some of whom (like me) require the 30 gallon size? Schlep out to your curbside can every day and dump open trash into it from a little 12 quart can? Ever watch how the contract trash pandas (excuse me, ‘municipal sanitation engineers’) empty them? They don’t police their spent brass. If it spills, you’re out there cleaning up after them. (My neighbor is notorious for that. I’m forever cleaning the spilled garbage from his repair shop can out of my yard. I’m gonna set it on fire one night, mark my words.)
