You prayed to the fascist idols on too too many Earth Days….your rant could sicken a true industrialist out there in the world providing millions of jobs, products, etc.

The rant was right out of Enviro 101….pitiful-

In reply to Maxine Lynch. Hopefully this company can innovate and retool its manufacturing to create a sustainable business practice making reusable plastic bags, thus keeping those job, potentially creating more jobs and helping develop green and sustainable jobs. This is the type of innovation that could be created while protecting the environment.

In reply to Ted Steele, Editor. One of the few remaining businesses in our small city is Roplast, who manufactures plastic bags for every grocery, department and specialty store in the country. We need for these people to have jobs to help our small town economy.

In reply to Ted Steele, Editor. Please do explain, how polyethylene lasts "forever", particularly when exposed to sunlight.I'd also like to know how something lasting forever is bad for the environment. Tell us, how EXACTLY does a bag sitting on the ground, or any trash for that matter, hurt the environment.

Write to the governor to veto the law. It might be a long shot, but that’s all we got.

This is foolish. So, the “bagger” at the store is going to put all of my purchases back into the basket and take it to my car and pack it in my trunk? I refuse to pay for paper bags, and don’t have time to gather up cloth bags that aren’t even big enough for many purchases – besides not being sanitary.(blood dripping from meat etc.)
If they were serious, (instead of just plain mean) they would insist on recycling milk jugs, detergent bottles etc. And, if they don’t want plastic in the land fill, they would ban those “tough” Glad bags,and while they are at it – disposable diapers, and the Depends they must all wear!

After the minimum wage goes through the moon and the carbon tax makes your gas tank approach platinum value……brown bagging will make a huge comeback as well as those infernal Tupperware Parties hosted by Berkley Stepford Wives adorned in bib overalls and East L.A. style strapless t-shirts.

Shall they be plastic or brown paper….come on….”brown”….hands down paper disease bags will thin the gullible penny pinching population….
