I say it's high time all cats should be put to work. Liberals should mandate this.

Don't forget the public health threat from the bans. The increase in dog waste that is no longer being picked up in “bag ban” towns. These bags are one of the most re-purposed items we have.

Plastic bags rock. I can put everything in the bag, double-bag it, and carry them all at once to my apt. Paper bags rip and are too bulky, and cloth bags are a breeding ground for bacteria.

Watch the libs threaten Walmart with banning their plastic bags.

I take plastic grocery bags, and grind them up and mix them with sawdust to burn in my wood stove. Polypropylene is an excellent source of energy. It's like burning LPG without having to pay for it. The EPA can kiss my ass, I can use energy where I find it, and I will exploit it to the best of my ability.

Make the most of what you have to work with, it's the American way!

When your community thinks about banning plastic bags, make sure to demand plastic bags for newspapers (when it rains) be bannded. That will make the liberal press go, “What??”

Our forests are impacted with crappy trees to the point that they are drying up, dying of beetle kill, and burning completely. We need an economic incentive to convert these excess trees to compost. A brief transformation into a useful paper bag satisfies that need to create a means to thin out forests in such disgusting condition.

Paper, please.

Plastic bags are constantly re-used in our household. Many of them are used for taking the kitty litter scoopings out to the bin. If I didn’t have the used bags from the grocery, I’d have to buy new trash bags or go back to using bread bags.

My cub and I sometimes go on a mutual shopping trip when she is working in the same area as I work and live-here in BFE-to a favorite meat-and produce market. But I won’t let her get into my vehicle with those icky cloth bags, because they are germ factories-she won’t bleach them after use-spoils the pretty colors. So she either uses plastic like I do, or no hauling a months’ groceries in mom’s 4x4.

Besides, I use the plastic grocery bags for cleaning the cats’ litter boxes, lining my trash cans, cleaning the ashes out of the grill, etc-now that is recycling...
