We are in Pasadena, which implemented NO plastic bags July 1. I call it ‘The Occupied Territories,’ because right next door they bag in plastic. I visited my sister in Colorado and brought a whole pile of plastic grocery bags home with. I hear you can also order them on Amazon for $20. I often ask for a box for my groceries or bring in plastic bags. I do think there is money to be made or at least a ministry for those who sit in front and pass them out/ sell them for a quarter.
“The government exists to protect our rights, which come from God.” I don’t recall anything about ‘to regulate the citizens’ lives to the nth degree.’
