BRING YOUR OWN BAGS MEANS PACK YOUR OWN PURCHASES! (AND DOESN'T STOP THE LITTER BUGS!)

We live in a place where merchants may no longer give you plastic bags with your purchase.  WE THINK THIS BAN IS STUPID.

We don't like litter or pollution.  HOWEVER, we think the same "litter-bugs" who don't recycle and who throw their bags around are also throwing around bottles, can's, fast food refuse, and much else.
Our city provides recycling opportunities.  We also pay a lot for a BLUE BIN - trash pick up.  However, we also have to take a broom down the street to sweep broken glass and pick up other people's refuse.

SO DON'T GET US WRONG.  We really don't like litter or pollution.

WE KNOW THAT MOST OF THOSE PLASTIC BAGS were properly thrown a way.  Many were reused.  We did!  AS DOG POOPIE BAGS. 

Did we say the stores are no longer allowed to GIVE you plastic bags?  YES, but they can still SELL THE BAGS TO YOU, that or substitute bags.

So really, is 10 to 15 cents a bag forcing people to BRING THEIR OWN CANVAS OR CLOTH BAGS?  NO!

Now that we have brought our own bags  WE NOTICE CLERKS ARE ALLOWING US TO PACK OUT OWN BAGS TOO!
