Store Plastic Bags  &quot;Decinagrate&quot;
The Bags are made with a 
Soy Based Material so they 
will Decompose in the ground 
or above. I live in the Desert 
and it is windy here, so when
bags get blown out into the Desert
No One has to worry much
In a Couple weeks those Bags
Will be Dust. 
This is just another ploy to get more 
$ Money $ into the pockets of whoever 
our Politicians want,
Just to keep them in office !]]></description>

&lt;i&gt;This will hurt the poor and middle class the most as does so much bad legislation the DemoNcrats shove down our throats.&lt;/i&gt;

Just like AB 32 which is going to hike gas prices 8 to 10 cents per gallon next year and even more in the following years.]]></description>

I use the plastic grocery bags for waste container liners, to pick up the dog and cat waste from my neighbors pets who cr@p in my yard (these neighbors are Democrats, btw), for storing various items and for other uses.

Once this ban goes into effect I will have to buy plastic bags for all these things.

Also, the stores have bins where you can put your unused plastic bags for recycling and my garbage collection service also recycles them.

So why are plastic bags such a problem and if they have to be outlawed why do the Demoncrats make the stores charge us 10 cents or more for paper bags.

This will hurt the poor and middle class the most as does so much bad legislation the Demo&lt;b&gt;N&lt;/b&gt;crats shove down our throats.

I can never understand why middle class people vote for Democrats.  It&#039;s like chickens voting for Colonel Sanders.]]></description>

Zero evidence of the things ending up in the ocean. And as for them sitting in landfills? So what! Going off the assumption that they last forever, which in itself is silly, if they sit forever in a landfill, of what consequence is this? What are landfills for if not for a place to pile and contain refuse? Do you even know how those bags are made? From your comment, I&#039;m guessing the answer is no. I&#039;ll give you a hint : They&#039;re far cheaper and &quot;greener&quot; to produce than those re-usable cloth ones made in China.]]></description>

What do you mean &quot;we&quot;? Why don&#039;t you try to convince your locality to try and pass a ban, if they want to make that mistake. 

Offering savings and FORCED profit to the grocery corporations, all on the taxpayers dime. Using MY money to restrict my access to a product.

Disgusting.]]></description>
