It was years ago IMPERATIVE that we refrain from the use of Paper Bags...and thus we were slammed into The Era Of The Plastic Bag. Now some decades later plastic has become our ENEMY?
SAVE The Naugha
Is this all the fruitcake politicians in California have to do?
1) Boy I am really glad I got out.
2) That’s what happens when the libs control everything and with a super majority. If you don’t want the US to look like Virginia and California and New York it is time to come together as conservatives and stand our ground and march forward. We can’t afford to bicker amongst ourselves at this moment. We MUST take our country back
Someday we will ban politicians. With extreme prejudice.
Don’t want something, just ban it... crazy.
Tax the bags. Sell the bags. If someone is recycle-crazy, good for them. But don’t ban one of the best inventions shoppers have ever known. Really want a scheme? Reward stores that make cardboard boxes available at the register (most get many products in these boxes, free, anyhow).
Take our own to the market and make them fill them.
We line our trash cans with them and put used cat liter in them and THEN SEND THEM TO THE DUMP!!!!
They need to get rid of the plastic bags so that there is room for all the plastic gloves.
It says customers would be charged for the green bags, but nothing stop them from bringing in their own plastic bags.
Those bags add up. I would reuse them till theybreak.
I anticipated this and have been hoarding plastic bags for months.
Politicians in Sacramento are proof that Liberalism is a mental disorder. When not destroying the state of CA, they’re servicing each other, wanna bet?
We are the Occupied Territories here. Gives me a chance to chortle as I bring my plastic bags, purchased at Amazon for $15, to the store. I sometimes tease about selling them to shoppers out in the parking lot. Of course, there are Free Zones - one about 3 miles from here - where they give you plastic bags! It’s very confusing, EXTREMELY STUPID.
There is a coastal city in Oregon where NO BAGS are allowed in ANY store, food, clothing, etc....
I like to use that that one just to irritate the neo-progs.
At what point do we just start ignoring all these stupid laws? They can’t put us all in jail.
My solution (I’m in CA and work in a city with a bag ban—SF—and live in a county with a bag ban—Alameda): I now do nearly 100% of my non-grocery shopping via Amazon prime, which delivers nearly anything in 2 days. I end up with a lot of cardboard boxes to break down. I get groceries delivered right to my door with Safeway.com. I have a big family and don’t want to mess around with cloth re-usable bags, pay for paper bags, etc.
All the bag bans do is turn people even more to online ordering.
Well, reusable bags are prone to bacterial growth making this decision an unhealthy one.
Also, I hate this “single use” terminology—many people reuse plastic bags as described in the posts above already. Like for picking up dog poop. Or for packing school lunches for teen boys (brown paper bags aren’t big enough for the quantity of food they eat).
Some stores are now “encouraging” the use of your own totes by loading your purchases in flimsy plastic bags whose seams rip before you exit the store. There’s one store I go to that charges you if you bring no bag from home but if you buy more merchandise than will fit in the bag(s) you’ve brought, they won’t charge for supplying the additional sacks.
Those bags gotta go. They create a real mess. There is a lot of paper and other plastic trash but nothing stands out or is harder to clean up than those plastic bags.
Originally plastic was to replace paper to save the trees...
