Single use plastic grocery bags are banned here in California.

Stores still sell sturdier, re-usable plastic bags for 10 cents each. But my neighbor, who works in retail, said most customers don't bring in reusable bags, they just buy more of the 10 cent bags each shopping trip (or pile up their purchase and carry it out without bags lol)

Interestingly enough, plastic bags are greener than paper.  

That's more a comment on us forestry and the efficiency of plastic bag manufacturing than the nature or paper vs plastic, tho.  Plastic bags don't end up as trash...they end up as yet more plastic bags.  They're uncommonly recyclable.


I'd be fine with the outlaw of both.
I have found the general public can adjust to anything and in a relatively short amount of time, become completely comfortable with the change.

If you had to bring a fabric bag with you from home (or several) in order to bring your shopping goods home, you would.  No one used to have to take their phone with them when they left the house - then one day everybody had cell phones. Now we don't know what to do when it gets forgotten at home.

Bringing your own carry out bag(s) to the store could become as natural as carrying your cell phone.  (in my humble opinion of course)

Life is grand. Looking at me, you'd never guess I'd killed three people.

I've had a NDE and not a fleeting thing either, it lasted all day. I've just now shoved a hydrometer in the stuff and it's over 7% alc. I think one of my Liver's is gone.
Pray for me.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.
