The plastic bags were reusable (for many other purposes). All they would have had to do is use paper bags which also are reusable. CurveAdvocate. Yes. You are right. It's just a way for revolutionary Council to shift the cost of providing grocery carry bags from their pals, "protected" Big Grocer to their overcharged customers who do not use expensive taxpayer provided food stamps . It is interesting to note that customer orientated non-unionized grocers provide - in accordance with revolutionary LAW!- free reusable carry bags. For example, the Superior Grocers' chain provide free reusable grocery carry bags made from heavy plastic material with every $20 grocery purchase. Ronald Judged: 1 1 1 Reply » Report Abuse Judge it!

The plastic bags were reusable (for many other purposes). All they would have had to do is use paper bags which also are reusable. CurveAdvocate. Yes! Exactly! It's just a way for revolutionary Council to use feel-good "environmentalism" as a cover to shift the cost of providing grocery carry bags away from their pals, "protected" Big Grocer to their overcharged customers who do not use expensive taxpayer provided food stamps. It is interesting to note that customer orientated non-unionized grocers provide - in accordance with revolutionary LAW!- free reusable carry bags. For example, the Superior Grocers' chain provide free reusable grocery carry bags made from heavy plastic material with every $20 grocery purchase. Let us not forget that wealthy environmental related NGOs are Government registered "non-profit" organizations, and therefore, the tax-free money that is reaped by their fat-cat operators is a subsidy that is imposed on the voting minority of hard working increasingly impoverished taxpayers.

douchebaggery Since: Jul 13 55 Palos Verdes Peninsula, CA Please wait...	#4902 Jul 14, 2013 I am no expert in this field, but I would think industrial waste will account for the majority of waste. Charging for bags may decrease its use and thus decrease its presence in our landfills, but how big of an impact would it really have? Maybe if government officials stopped lining their pockets with corporate incentive pay or any other euphemism for bribery, they would have the balls to stop the problem at its source: the industries. Without natural predation, one of the limits to population growth is waste. Relatively, as a species, we are awful at waste management; look at our land fill problems. We may be approaching or have exceeded the carrying capacity; therefore, inevitably nearing a decline in population sustainability. We need to start thinking about the world and its future; not selfishly and blindly pursuing money. Judged: 3 3 3 Reply » Report Abuse Judge it!
