Even Paper Bags Will Be Banned From N.J. Supermarkets. The bill, which would make the state the first to ban single-use paper bags at supermarkets, would also ban single-use plastic bags in stores and restaurants.

Local county banned plastic bags and you either had your own bag or paid a nickel for a paper bag; now they’ve reversed the ban and are back to plastic bags again.

I suppose that you can carry out in your hands, what little remains on the shelves.

I never thought I’d live to see the USA become Jamaica, but here we are.

[bigdaddy45]

well they’re banning every conceivable way of carrying your groceries from the store to the car. Next up is “banning people with long arms” from shopping.

[Madam Theophilus]

When it is obvious that such regulation will further destroy the hospitality industry, one must assume that this is the intended aim. I’m not giving these guys a break anyone. They are not ignorant or stupid.

[BunnySlippers]

Please note: I live in Calif where paper bags were banned years and years ago.. WE STILL GET PAPER BAGS. THATS ALL I GET.

Cloth bags that liberals carry have been found to contail massive bacteria loads after just a few uses... They need to be washed after every use.

Washed - using water, detergent and electricity to power washers and dryers.

Here's a flash liberals"EVERYTHING HAS AN ENERGY SIGNATURE... NOT JUST THE OBVIOUS...

“But Mr. Tittle said by banning paper bags, New Jersey would be pushing people to use bags made out of recycled or other sustainable materials.”

Utter insanity and stupidity. Silly me, but, I learned when I was a boy that paper came from trees. Trees grow on the Earth. Trees are nature. Trees return to the Earth’s soil when rotted. So what is more recycle-able than trees? Are they going to make bags out of poop?

Cloth bags that liberals carry have been found to contain massive bacteria loads after just a few uses... They need to be washed after every use. They infect family members - causing excessive visits to doctors...

Cloth grocery bags need to be washed after a few uses - using water, detergent and electricity to power washers and dryers.

Keep reusing your bacteria, fungus, mold and yeast fill bags folks. All the liberal lard-asses with their comorbidities will have pay the the ultimate price. They voted for it, they deserve the results. (That was written with tongue in cheek. I could care less about what bag people use. I do care if I am told what bag I am to use. I’m sure it will end up in PA sooner or later.)

New Jersey, my Father’s Birthplace.

When he was Kid he remembered the Union Bosses walking around giving “Voters” a $5 Bill if they Voted the right way, wink, wink.

I asked him how they knew if the People who took the money Voted the way the Union Bosses wanted them to. He said NOBODY would dare not to Vote differently.

I assume they will now make using the phrase “Paper or Plastic” a Hate Crime.

Most, if not all of the chain grocery stores in Californicator land will not allow their clerks to touch any cloth bag or any other used bag brought into the store by customers.

[Peter W. Kessler]

I just ordered 2,000 plastic grocery bags from Amazon.

I will bring them to the supermarket.

They’re disposable, and we use them for cat litter and liners for our small waste baskets.

I have no intention of using reusable bags. They’re petri dishes.

RESIST!!!

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Guess New Jerseyians will have to grow extra arms.

[mewzilla]

I have one word: fomites.

Like going to Sam’s. I use the boxes to they keep near the door. I keep a cooler for meat in my be trunk. Simple

but this bag crap is the typical Rat response

[HartleyMBaldwin]

Fomites? Not a problem, they banned foam cups and food containers too.

[mewzilla]

LOL!

FWIW, I’m far more worried about picking up an ecoli or noro infection at the grocery than I am WuFlu.

And of those three, I’d prefer the WuFlu.

[ronniesgal]

these folks are morons. no paper, no plastic. What do they think those reusable bags are? Plastic.
most people don’t think to clean and dry those bags. Cootie factory.

[USS Alaska]

“This bill is probably the strongest, most comprehensive bill in the nation dealing with plastics and packaging,” said Jeff Tittle.

New way to shop in joisey.

Wheel it right into the back of your van, truck, hatch back...what ever.
