So is that money going towards environmental efforts? No, I don't think so.Blue Lou Loganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15618846865823171349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876794033107456809.post-78408245897842519282012-08-04T14:53:17.570-08:002012-08-04T14:53:17.570-08:00Exactly, Undine.

As the article notes, people will still use plastic bags but now the "recycling" of that use has been pitched out the window due to misunderstanding of and down right bad science.

Over here, our worthless busybody idiots of a City Council took time from their busy schedule of running L.A. into the ground to phase in a ban of plastic AND paper bags.<br /><br />I can deal with using cloth bags at the store, but I reuse paper and plastic bags all the time for storage, garbage, etc. It's going to be a real nuisance doing without them. And don't ask what I'm going to use to clean cat litter boxes, because I haven't the foggiest idea.<br /><br />God spare me from do-gooders.<br /><br /><i>(Yes, someone's a bit cranky this morning.)</i>Undinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16214242522330278662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876794033107456809.post-87356621497020801462012-08-03T14:55:05.746-08:002012-08-03T14:55:05.746-08:00I agree; that government governs best which govern...I agree; that government governs best which governs least.Paulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11730716060906158244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876794033107456809.post-28870875336801860852012-08-03T14:13:35.585-08:002012-08-03T14:13:35.585-08:00You are most welcome, my Captain.
