“To think we have our own San Francisco (or Berkeley) in Texas!”
Bingo! I’ve lived in the Austin area for almost 11 years and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve said, “gee, Austinites so badly want to be like San Francisco.”
They ban plastic grocery bags and continue to allow plastic trash bags, lawn bags, baggies and plastic to-go bags and styrofoam containers. Austin is on track to be San Fran and they couldn’t be happier. I’ll stay in the ‘burbs thank you.
Spot on. Absolutely spot on.
Anybody in the Austin area who wants plastic bags, let me know and I’ll pick up some and deliver to your door.
