If plastic bags are outlawed, only outlaws will have plastic bags.  :)  And I'll be selling them online. I must have a thousand of them.

its not funny, they have been trying to pass laws against them here.  What the tree huggers don't get it is... they don't cut down forsets to make paper, they have plantations  and it does more damage to the envroment to recycle paper then it does to make new paper.

This is some serious stuff here and unfortunately, they'll probably pass it eventually.

It seems a tad heavy handed and over the top for places like convienance stores. On the other hand here in Florida our major grocer has started offering green bags at $1. They're light durable and fold flat. I bought 8 a few months ago, haven't required a grocery store bag since and saved myseld a load of non-biodegradable trash.

What will I line garbage cans with or pick up dog shit??????????????????

Throw that crap in the street!     ;)

If my grocery store quit using plastic bags and tried to force me to buy "eco-friendly" *beltch* bags I just might have to buy 100 items, not use a bag, refuse their assistance for carry-out help and carry one item out at a time to the car.

I saw a good report on plastic and it pointed out how much of it ends up in the ocean. It eventually breaks down and this is what worries Scientists. Nobody knows what will happen to ocean life when their molecular meals are plastic.

I was fortunate enough to acquire a number of the reusable bags that Corbon was handing out at SHOT last Jan. They make excellent grocery/gun show bags. Then, of course, there's the "cool" factor.
