What always gets me is that nobody ever asks why we have plastic bags in the first place.
The reason why we have plastic bags is because a previous generation of enviro-extremists pushed for them. They pushed plastic bags on us in the early ‘80s, to be used instead of paper bags. They wanted to get rid of paper bags to save the rainforests.
So today, enviro-extremists have decided we should get rid of plastic bags. BUT IT’S BECAUSE OF ENVIRO-EXTREMISM that we have plastic bags in the first place!!!!
So, were they wrong to foist plastic bags on us 30 years ago, or are they wrong now to want to get rid of them? Were they wrong then or are they wrong now???
Sigh. You really just don't get it, do you? THEY'RE BOTH WRONG. Okay? Both! BAGS ARE WRONG. They are a perfect example of white privilege. The vast majority of people who own stock in companies that make plastic bags are HETERO WHITE MALES. Can the subject get even remotely more clear?!
Sheesh, some people.

Exactly. It's these same idiots that banned using paper bags back then. What's next? What moronic method for carrying or packing groceries will they dream up now? These people on the left all need to be contained in rubber rooms and straight jackets and lots of duct tape! Instead, they get cushy government jobs and pensions and infest and infect every aspect of American life. Insanity.
Well they certainly were right on the Rain Forests.
If you remember, we were cutting down the equivalent of 100 football fields of Rain Forest every hour. Thats why all of Central and South America is now a vast barren desert. Right??? /s
And paper bags were the victim of this environmental garbage back then.
The really sad part is, those stupid little plastic bags do decompose quite well.
They are not UV stable and they take up no room in a landfill. And they take remarkably little energy to produce.
All of the above, but I love the plastic bags for doggy duty.
