I hate hippies, fascist dictators every one. Plastic bags are recyclable nowadays anyways. They want us to go back in time, not forward (as they peck on their iphones and computers). HATE THEM!
Austin has more than its share to be sure. I have lived among them for years now and sometimes I marvel that I am still sane.
My wife bought some of those canvas bags and uses them on her main shopping trips. We still haul in plenty of the plastic bags, though. Certainly enough to use them for garbage bags without running out. ( We used to have to recycle them. ) They’re incredibly strong. Where I live, clerks will unnecessarily double bag with them for a couple of Foster’s oil cans. I think you could haul gold bars without breaking them!
Not just recyclable, but reusable. Everyone I know uses the plastic shopping bags as trash bags.
I use my grocery bags as trash bags for small trash cans. Bet the idiots buy small trash bags for theirs.
