These are the people who pushed us to use plastic bags to save the trees.

Their answer to all of the plastic bags littering the landscape is to ban plastic bags. An alternative would be people picking up their own mess.

They always have to manufacture a cause and the latest crisis. They must lead very unfulfilled lives.

“What are we going to pick the dog’s poop with then?”

The worlds largest natural food store has less name recognition than Winn Dixie. And fewer stores than Publix.

And I promise that the .8 cent plastic bag will hold on tighter than the 3 cent paper bag. And half the population can’t even remember their ID for the credit card they use, but somehow we’re supposed to all bring our own bags?

What about the companies making these bags? What’s their “Carbon footprint”?

Idiots.

"There is a shift in perception," says Tracey Saxby, a 30-year-old environmentalist who lives half of the year in Rossland, B.C., and the other half in Whistler, B.C. "We just don't need them."

Just like shampoo, soap and toothpaste, right Tracey?

Buy a dog-composting unit that you can install in a corner of your yard.

The only thing more annoying than plastic bags are the environmentalists who think that they are entitled to tell others how to run their lives.

“Re-use newspaper to line your garbage bin”

It all makes sense now. The Dinosaur media newspapers are trying to up sales again. But doesnt that waste paper?!?!?!

And I like how they proposed we all wash our trashcans out after every use. Guess water isn’t as valuable as “saving the Earth”...

This latest round of liberal idiocy has NH written all over it.
First it’ll start out like the ban on releasing balloons. A wacky idea brought up because someone did’nt like what a balloon did to a bird.
But unlike that bill, it’ll move forward and wind it’s way through the legislature in the name of the public good and wind up as a ban on plastic bags in grocery stores before too long.
These “progressives” up here want to out-Mass the massholes.

This pisses me off. I see these red or green bags creeping up in the supermarkets here. Another one of the city counsels “green” ploys. If I do a week worth’s of shopping for my family I can have 10 or more bags. So I now have to pay 10.00 to buy these bags then carry them to the store every week. And if I just want to run in to a store I have to carry some around with me or pay for more? What a scam.

The dog poop is absurd. How much bread would you have to buy to recycle for dog poop. What are people who live in apartments supposed to do with their compost? Idiots.

I don’t see this as a huge problem around where I live but I have a friend who travels in SE Asia and she says the huge numbers of plastic bags hanging from trees is unbelievable. It gives the landscape a surreal look. Some people are slobs. I know when I was a kid (many years ago) I always threw stuff out of the car window. If I can be retrained, anyone can be retrained.
