San Francisco Bans Plastic Bags
San Francisco, California, has decided to put an end to the question, "Do you want paper or plastic?" The city has moved to ban the use of plastic bags at all city grocery stores.
The Board of Supervisors complained that the petroleum-based bags clutter much of the streets and endanger wildlife due to the fact that they cannot decompose. Many recycling machines have been gummed up by these bags as well. The head of the Environment Department, Jared Blumenfeld said, "The ban would help move the city closer to its goal of diverting 75% of all waste produced from its landfills by 2010." source: it's all over the news |
Wow impressive ;-)

That's nice.

You have to be fucking kidding me?

First it was paper bags but that was wasting too many trees. Plastic was the way to go.
Now plastic is evil. Whats next, ban condoms? What are we supposed to do, carry a cloth type shopping bag to the store like grandma did many moons ago? |

I love living in SF. :)

Nothing like killing a few more trees, because people are so stupid that they can not put trash where it belongs.

I have no idea who Dvae is, so sorry.. but sticky, i have to say. wow buddy! I agree with having issues in something like this, you have a right ot your opinions.. but i just want to point out how funny i think you two are. Yes, bring the cloth bags to the checkout! Yes, it's worth NOT getting paper/plastic/whatever.. You know, my Grandfather once told me that one tree would produce more paper than i would ever use in my life.. i looked at him confused, and he then told me that it takes 100s of me to make one tree, in time anyways R |

Interesting issue.
One thing I'm finding kind of funny... they're using litter as one of the justifications. People can't throw away their trash? Hehe... |

I can't stand paper bags. Plastic is so much easy to carry

They are charging us for plastic bags here, and asking we re-use the same bags over and over again.
Yeah because the bags are so strong, they can be used again and again... :disgust |
Definitly a good idea
