I really have no problem with this. I’ve got two plastic bags stuck in trees in my front yard. They’ve been there for six months. I’ll never get them down, I’ll have to wait. I started bagging my groceries in a cardboard box I get at work. It saves time and when I delivered my mom’s groceries in a box, she exclaimed, “Just like the old days in New York!”

I have one in a tree in the back yard. It flaps in the wind and the dogs bark at it. Drives me nuts. It is too high for me to reach it, even with a ladder. I am hoping it will disintegrate in the summer sun...except that it is in the shade most of the time.

I don't know that they should be banned, but they are annoying. I reuse some and recycle some, but it seems like they multiply under the sink. I haven't caught them in the act, but I know what they are doing down there...

The problem, and the part that should bother you is not the fact they(the left)are against plastic bags, The problem is that they(the left)were the ones who forced plastic on us in the first place. For quite some time, in CA at least, you couldn’t even get a paper bag, you had to take plastic. Now, they have reversed themselves and act as if somehow the VRWC are the ones who mandated plastic bags when in reality it was the same a**hats who now say we must use paper. Personally I prefer paper, but I remember and despise the frickin’ left and their half a**ed ideas.

Is it all about you then ?

Because it seems to me that, no matter what my, or your, personal perferences on the matter are, that this is a gross taking of personal liberty by the LA City Council, who has no constitutional, or other, right to dictate to private businesses

The problem there isn’t the bag, it’s people who didn’t properly dispose of them. Liter is liter, paper or plastic it’s still the result of lazy people.

I like plastic bags, because of their flexibility I can carry 6 or 7 bags of stuff in one hand, kind of tough on the fingers but it gets me inside quick. Really we should leave it up to the market. And don’t tell LA about boxes, they’ll start making stores charge for those too.
