    Seattle also has a plastic bag ban, and it has had an inverse reaction. The grocery bags, which are banned, were universally used as liners for trash baskets, which are in businesses and homes throughout the city. Now, people have to buy their garbage bags, the smallest of which are too big for the trash baskets, so the bags are taken out to the garbage half full. Plus, the paid-for bags are a thicker plastic than the grocery bags. So MORE plastic is going into the garbage stream, not less.
    Plus, most people don’t take their groceries home and then take out the groceries, and then throw the plastic grocery bag out onto the street. Every home and a lot of businesses had a drawer or space to put those plastic bags to be reused.
    So the one useful bag is outlawed, meanwhile, all the stupid little useless bags are still being handed out, for people who buy an orange, and don’t want to touch it after it’s paid for?! Or buying a candy-bar at a drug store. Those are the bags that get tossed in the street, and those bags are still legal.
    This is more theatre than anything useful, and I hope people have their cynical eyes in when they read these articles.

      This was a great move for the trash bag industry. They probably lobbied for this. You know government never truly legislates in the interest of the people.

  3. While traveling thru Europe, if you wanted a plastic bag you would have to pay 25 cents per bag. That should deter some.

  4. In reality, if everyone were like her, this world would be a decent place. Unfortunately, people with your mindset spoil that prospect.
