They're only single use if you're a moron.

Have you met almost everyone?

What? You don't stuff your pockets full of old plastic bags when you go to the

We use them for lots of things, mostly lining trash cans around the house.

As was hashed out in the other thread, a fee appears to be the right approach.

And?

The same justification for "government" to do basically anything it does.

Jay Rick

7/22/19 11:05am

Bingo. And yes, an arbitrary, artificial gov't cost to bags will change behavior

Or just do nothing and let people buy what they want.

Totally. Hurt each other all you want. There's really no reason to have any laws

Jay Rick

7/22/19 11:48am

That's exactly what i said.

UNLVcougar

7/22/19 11:52am

Hence the first word I said, "totally."

Jay Rick

I'm not sure what outrage I should be feeling. . .

Re: plastics. Was just at Disney, if straws are so bad, then why is Disney

You can get free ice water in a cup at any Disneyland concession stand that has fountain drinks.

Cosmodiar

7/22/19 10:48am

Didnt know that, even as a season pass holder. The "fountain" is the catch

I live in a city without plastic bags, it sucks. The paper bags are so weak, I

When busy bodies are trying to save the world, that's what happens.

Town I live in charges a fee. I know several people who shop in the same store

Where is the fee going?

KingDave

7/22/19 10:58am

This is the most important question.

jdub

Purchase more bags, unless they’ll completely eliminate bags.

What a dope

pegushin

...uh, no. She got into BYU. No one, despite your disagreement, in BYU is a dope

Iki_Balam

7/22/19 3:25pm

Uh, a high GPA doesn’t always make one intelligent

pegushin

7/22/19 5:11pm

Are you serious? You think our school is only looking at GPA? Are you a Ute?

Iki_Balam

Logic chip broken?

pegushin

7/23/19 10:49am

Seems like a business opp to sell plastic bags outside stores

Busiturtle

7/22/19 11:00am

You’d make a huge profit

KingDave

7/22/19 11:04am

I guess I'll need to start buying small plastic trash bags for my house now

Here's a NPR article talking about the bad, unintended consequences of banning plastic bags. The alternatives are

Yeah, but no millenial ever signalled their environmental wokeness by supporting

StarMan

I would change the 'plastic bags' part to 'data and science' in general

Iki_Balam

7/22/19 3:26pm

That's okay, they don't know 'data and science' in general unless it's tweeted

Busy bodies should limit their sphere of influence to themselves.

Amen. If you want to make others lives miserable, work on yourself.
