With plastic bags prohibited, stores could sell recycled-paper or reusable bags for at least 10 cents each!!!
Those people are stark raving mad and power hungry!
They are not allowed to sell bags for profit. The money goes to some charitable fund.
I bought about $40 worth of bags which are almost always at home or in the trunk when I shop.
Bags are packed poorly. Paper bags are good explosion devices. Any large bag is over filled so that I cannot lift it.
Grrr …
Why must I walk around everywhere dragging several unwashed canvas bags behind me?
I am in California and that is exactly what they do now. No plastic bags but they will sell you a paper bag for ten cents.
This is in effect even at the mall if you buy clothes or shoes either you pay for a paper bag or you bring your own. I believe in a few years the price for the bags is going up and they rally want even the paper bags banned it is a joke.
I suppose they want us to carry the food and products we buy on our head like you would see in Africa or an old Tarzan movie.
Besides the bag ban next thing they are going to try is getting you out of your cars they have started in my city. They are pushing bikes and taking lanes away and replacing them with bike lines and no this is not a joke.
