In reply to Donkey. Isn't that a wee bit hyperbolic Duncey-Girl?

In reply to LetitCollapse. It's to the point where you can't even get a GD plastic grocery bag in this state thanks to the DemoNcrats!

so just asking for paper bags costs me about $36.50 a year. For a family of five, that would be $182.50 a year — a substantial sum for the poor and middle class.

It’s all about sticking it to the little people.

I always saved up the bags until I had a bundle–then I donated them to the local senior center. At the senior center in one nearby city, they use the bags to weave mats for the homeless. I prefer the paper bags and always requested such, in lieu of the plastic bags. Now I will keep using the plastic bags until the ban goes into effect. There are a million uses for plastic bags–I don’t think the ban will work.

In reply to ECK. Instead of buying generic plastic bags it makes a bigger statement to use the same plastic bags that the store previously used with it's name and logo attached. That's what I plan to do. I am collecting bags from the stores that I shop at now so I'll be ready to go come July 2016. I might even xerox photos of Jerry Brown and tape them to the bags. Most people roll over when these fascist laws get passed. That's why they continue doing it to you. You don't fight back. No wonder we're turning into a damned police state!

I’ve got my own plastic bags. I just put everything back in the cart at checkout, and bag it myself after I leave the store. No problem. I just put the used ones into the re-cycle bin.

In reply to David in the OC.

If we ever get to the point that possession of a plastic bag in the State of California is a crime – you have my permission to euthanize me. It’ll be time to move on. I’ll take my chances on the other side.

In reply to LetitCollapse. You can buy the plastic bags yourself for about $0.025 per bag in a carton with about 1000. Use 'em once, then hand them over to the guy selling oranges at the traffic light for his convenience. Just don't use them in California to carry home your foie gras or horsemeat. At least until the EPA decides to ban them nationwide by fiat or legislation.
