Kill a tree, choke a fish. “What difference does it make now?”

If they ban bags in Cauliphonya, what are they going to call “bag ladies” and “bag men”? DemocRAT fundraisers?

It’s stupid....Just plain stupid. We’re no longer a government of the people.

The evils of Big Bag.

california supermarkets...at least the ones I frequent, now charge a dime for a paper bag.

now thats progress...isnt it.

we’ve come a long way baby.....from “Save a Tree. Use Plastic..”..through Paper or Plastic”...all the way to being charged for a container to carry our purchases home in.

California..”where.yesterday’s solutions...are tomorrow’s problems”

a “torrent” of plastic pollution in parks and waterways

Ah, yes. I remember that from the pre-paper-or-plastic era 4 decades ago. Couldn't go anywhere without having to walk through a "torrent" of paper grocery sacks in parks and waterways.

Thank goodness the Libs just recently got styrofoam containers banned in some locations. That will spread nationwide soon.

No plastic containter. No paper containers. No styrofoam containers. Then, life will be near-perfect. You want Wendy's chili? Will that be one handful or both? Hold out your hand(s). Gee, that will even help Michelle's war on food. A two-fer for the Libs.

Wouldn’t have any problems if the SLOBS who live in these green states would NOT LITTER and use the bags again at home.

Why don’t the social psychologists who motivated the nation into recycling get the illegal immigrants and poor to have some self respect and take of what they want instead of trashing everything handed to them. Oh, that’s right, it has been proven that if something is easy to acquire it is not viewed as worthy. If something is hard to acquire then it is viewed as very valuable.

Hence, the Few, the Proud, the Marines.

The communists have ruined this nation and they have accomplished it knowingly.

Been using insulated and reusable bags for years. Just a stupid kerfluffle. The only thing moderately annoying is not having free bags to carry with me for dog poop. For refrigerated food an insulated bag is a MUCH better way to go.

That said, it is silly that we went from renewable and biodegradable paper to plastic in the first place. Sort of like going from global winter, to global warming to climate change.

[Chode]

it takes SEVEN trucks to carry the same number of paper bags as ONE truckload of plastic bags...

look for the teamsters to push for the ban

[Covenantor]

How are the homeless going to store their cans?

It was bad enough with the paper bag ban, guys at bars panicked at closing time when beer goggles just weren’t enough. Those green mesh bags just don’t cut it.

What’s the world coming to?
