Pete Constant casted the lone vote against the recommendation.

So what’s the problem with paper bags?

[HiTech RedNeck]

Charging for bags is a good way to get customers to reuse their old ones.

[Mind-numbed Robot]

Plastic bags also cause global warming!

[CounterCounterCulture]

Paper or plastic? Sorry, that question is no longer valid.

[LukeL]

Because nothing is safer than a pack of bloody chicken legs siting in a cloth sack. These cloth sacks that are all the rage are stupid and do nothing to save on energy and are an excellent way of spreading disease and can become a breeding ground for deadly mold.

I wonder if anyone ever thought of making these “council” member submit to a drug test.

[Vendome]

What about condoms?

Palo Alto's ban on single-use plastic bags went into effect last week...

Seeing as how no plastic bag we get is "single-use" (they are all reused as lunch bags, tote bags, garbage bags, etc.) does that mean we're exempt?

I can’t believe that I have to move back to this crap.

I’m so going to miss GA.

*Sigh*

Wonder what McDonald's will use if this ban goes in effect? What else is there that is not cost prohibited? Boxes?

[tioga]

is there a state law in CA requiring paper toilet seat covers be available in all public toilets? just curious as they were on my last visit. the ti/daughter is here from San Jose and she is complaining that we don’t have them in NY.

you guys certainly have your nanny staters in full force out there.

I use my cloth bag and recycled plastic bags as much but sometimes I still need paper bags which I use again for trash.

[Tax Government]

The city should ban throw-away condoms.

[GeronL]

But if your buy a CD or even a tiny flash memory card it comes packaged in a pound of plastic.

[Lawgvr1955]

Looks like a lot of people will be buying their groceries in another area.

Power hungry despots abound at home and abroad.

[Elyse]

Great, freaking enviromentalists are putting more people out of jobs.

[jonrick46]

The plastic bags are already being recycled. What’s the problem with plastic shopping bags? What about the plastic garbage bags? What about the plastic packaging for such things as refrigerators, computers, and sacks of dog food? Are they going to ban sandwich bags we uses for our lunch?

This is a method to attack the distribution system of food. Next they will attack other parts of the system. Screw them!

What about the miles of shrink wrapping and plastic banding of the millions of pallets of products being transported by trucks to the loading docks of our stores? The distribution system will be attacked by these anti-capitalists as sure as my peanut butter sandwich.

[napscoordinator]

Plastic bags I can see....I guess. But paper bags??? WTH?

Will it soon be a crime for a citizen to possess a paper bag?
