Thanks for that link mom.

While the article makes good points about recycling not being economical, my concern is that plastic is not biodegradable, corrections wecome. So if we continue to simply bury plastic bags then one of these days it can probably be argued that the earth is made out of plastic. (a little bit of sarcasm here)

Hmm. Yes, your point is well taken. If we were on a planet the size of the Moon, I’d be more concerned. There is probably some balance of recycling and disposal that will keep reasonable people happy. We’ve got centuries, maybe millennia before we reach that critical mass of plastic. Technology will change a lot in that time. Plastic might even naturally phase out in favor of some newer innovation. A government meddling to the degree Austin has is unnecessary and opportunistic.

The plastic bags we use at our store say that they decompose in sunlight.
