Likme...go back to paper bags...totally biodegradable...good for draining french fries, too.

“go back to paper bags...totally biodegradable...good for draining french fries, too.”

Ironically, the same mayor mandates the type of oil restaurants must use to fry those french fries.

The NY Slimes paper is good for house training dogs too.

I think we already rode that horse back in the 70's when the greenies were then bitching about the number of trees that were "sacrificed" to make paper bags.

Then, we went through the "paper or plastic?" era, and finally settled on all plastic.

Personally, I like the plastic bags, as they have all sorts of uses other than carrying groceries, after you get them home.

Now, having been in Germany for three years, and being married to a German for 10 years, let's examine the idea of "take your own bags" to the store.

My Ex-German Mother-in-law took her own bag to the store, but all she ever bought was bread, butter, and maybe milk. When we go to the store now, it sometimes takes 10-15 plastic bags (or more) to bring it all home.

Now, in the checkout line, I'm guessing Czar Bloomberg would have us hand our 10 to 15 cloth bags to the bagger to fill. How european.
Finally, if we pay $.06 for each bag, do we get a refund if we return the bags? How about paying us $.06 for each plastic bag we don't use,by bringing our own.

I guess grocery carts will be next to go...you know, the melting of the steel in the manufacturing process is bad for globull warming.

Plastic bag tax...just another good reason for American citizens to flee New York.

The liberals just don't get it...if you raise taxes, and run people off by it, you get LESS REVENUE. Circuit City stores (all but 1) are moving out of Georgia because of the recently passed "inventory tax".

Did I hear someone say that Congress consists of OUR representatives?

Think of the poor trees!
