Good. Those reusable bags carry germs and other stuff.
ReplyDeleteThank God common sense, paper bags were used for decades killing millions of trees, plastic doesn't get wet and fall apart like paper and they can be recycled I have taken them to senior centers for years if purchases or bingo is played people have something to hold the purchases or bingo prizes, also they can be used to clean out closets and other household areas great now a suggestion for these long days due to the virus. If people would just learn to not throw them out the door and vehicles and wind up in our yards and along highways. When you are finally done with them just throw them in the trash and they take up less room then the paper bags.
ReplyDeleteYea!
ReplyDeleteRead the story in the Wall Street Journal that talks about studies since 2010 that show these bags use less resources to make, and it take multiple of uses, sometimes dozens of times using the other bags, to have a net zero impact. The studies find consumers are buying more of those reusable products because they aren't reusing them.
ReplyDeleteIt's a consumer education issue. It's not the bag.
There are also other uses for plastic bags. Look online for instructions to turn them into sleeping mats for the homeless. The west coast could use many of them now. There would be few going in the trash if recycled that way.
ReplyDeleteThank you Senators!
ReplyDeleteNow let's start hoarding them!
ReplyDeletePlastic bag lobby paid them off.
ReplyDeleteWhat do I do if it gets on my head lol
