In our household, “throw away” grocery bags have dozens of uses. If we didn’t get them at the stores, we’d probably be buying them in bulk, periodically. If we accumulate too many, I use them as packing material — preferably for people in bag ban areas.
Now, if you want to increase penalties for littering, that’s fine with me. Maybe I’ll need fewer grocery bags for my excursions along the road along our property to pick up all the trash people toss out there...
