Plastic shopping bags are getting a bad rap. They are probably one of the most re-cycled products used today. Next time you see someone walking their dog, what are they carring? A plastic shopping bag to pick up the doggie do-do. The plastic shopping bags also make great garbage bags and waste basket liners. Little old ladies love them.
If the bags are banned what will people use when they walk thei dogs or can the cat box. Yes every once and a while you do see one blowing in the wind or stuck in a tree, but thats rare.
Sometimes I think that the person leading the drive to ban plastic shopping bags has a brother-in-law that wants to start a doggie doi-do bag company. And bye the bye, those cloth shopping bags a filty. How much energy and water does it take to clean them after each use?
