The same debate is happening in Portland, OR as we speak.
The funniest thing is that when I moved here almost 20 years ago, they banned the paper bag because they killed trees, and substituted the plastic bag.
Now, they are endorsing the reusable bag.....that comes at a price.
For those who don’t want or can’t afford the reusable bag, I wonder if they will replace the plastic bag with the paper bag? After all, the paper bag is biodegradable.
Environmentalists.......they are so funny!

2. Reusable bags are not expensive. They can be had for $1.00. That's not a deal breaker.
3. I had a point three but I forgot it...
Sorry, too late to be up typing.

All bubble-head liberalism causes unintended bad consequences. Every single component of the left's nanny state agenda, causes bad consequences.
All of it.
