We used to have paper bags, but then the e-mentalists said we were killing all the trees.

I do frown on these huge styro containers for a lot of things. Waaaaay bigger than they need to be.

Pretty sure that these plastic bag bans have only increased plastic consumption... I was pretty miffed about the whole thing but then realized that for 8 cents a bag, I now get bigger, stronger bags that never tear, plus they are cheap enough to keep using them to line small garbage bins.

The Earth doesn’t share our prejudice toward plastic. Plastic came out of the Earth. The Earth probably sees plastic as just another one of its children. Could be the only reason the Earth allowed us to be spawned from it in the first place. It wanted plastic for itself. Didn’t know how to make it. Needed us. Could be the answer to our age-old egocentric philosophical question, “Why are we here?”

“Plastic… a__hole.”

Single use? Go to a flea market or yard sale. I see plenty reused. At home they are trashbags and a go to carry all. Yard work they’re very handy and useful for bagging road kill.

Our California Safeway uses the medium duty thicker plastic bags. The bag says “good for up to 125 uses.” That’s very optimistic, but I do get a lot of re-uses out of them. At least when I remember to grab some in the car and take them into the store. It takes a moment to refold them so they lie flat for storage.

It annoys me to no end having to pay for bags, but at least I do get lots of uses out of them.

On your walk home from that very store, you probably saw plastic bags still littered along the street.

Actually no.

Occasionally I find a glass bottle that has broken or some light plastic thingy that fell from garbage/recycling truck but rarely litter.

Probably because I live in a civilized area.

Don’t forget all the time and water wasted washing garbage so they can call it recycling

Everything is wrapped in plastic anyway so what's the big deal?

I must live in the wrong place. I never see plastic bags or much of anything else strewn across the landscape. We can still get plastic bags here, some places anyway, and I always make very good use of them (cleaning up after 4 dogs takes a few lol).

The two authors of the shpeel:

Brad Liski is the co-founder and chief executive officer of Tru Earth. Lasse Gustavsson is the president and chief executive officer of the global conservation organization Ocean Wise.

In other words - activists paid by their NGOs to be activists
