Plastic please

[Robhuntandfish]

A possible law to get rid of plastic bags in NY has been introduced to legislation.  Madison county has looked to do this a couple of times and I believe NYC area as well.  

Personally I think it's because legislators are afraid we may ask them to put those over their heads and breathe deep.  

But remember when we had to get rid of paper bags because we were killing trees and it was harmful to the environment.  And if you didn't use plastic bags you were part of the problem......yeah.

Just another way for them to tell us all to get in line. After all they know whats best for us......right?

If you get really good at juggling, you will not need any bags at all to carry your food when grocery shopping!  Gets tougher around Thanksgiving with turkeys and all.

What am I supposed to pick up all the dog poop with?

Here in Suffolk county, they passed a 5 cent tax on all bags, paper and plastic. So now everyone has started to use these reusable bags. It’s a real pain in the neck.

Actually, those plastic bags are highly recyclable. We have collection boxes at out local Walmart.

When I was a kid, we wrapped them in newspaper. My buddy's dad used to refer to the newspaper as "the fish wrap".

Wait, who still gets a newspaper?

Another thing that comes down to people being responsible and recycling them not just throwing them out or worse letting them blow around and get stuck in trees.

Now we “need” a law because people are stupid and selfish

That's just it. Do we REALLY need a law passed, to govern every little detail of our lives???  Or more laws passed to protect us from ourselves???  It sure does seem that way sometimes.

I’m with ya grampy, that is what annoys me the most. Let’s keep adding laws so the masses know exactly what to do. We seem to be headed towards less and less freedom as they make more and more laws.

I know this is just about silly plastic shopping bags but where does it end?

Exactly.

That's the question, you would think more should be asking.

I am all for less gov intervention, period!  But teenagers eating tide pods makes me question the wisdom of my own position.

If they are dumb enough to eat a Tide pod, we dont need them in society anyway.

Perhaps John, but you may be underestimating the number of people affected by, well lets say a propensity to make poor decisions.  lol

[Robhuntandfish]

[Robhuntandfish]

[bugsNbows]

The reusable bags are okay but should be washed often . They are germ carriers !

well my two cents,we all can just be a little more concienous  thats all .As a boat owner i HATE them i can count atlest 6 xs i had them wrapped around my outboard intakes once by coney island the alarm went off and the motor idled down i had to stop and raise the motor very quickly cut it off with a knife .It was in coming tide and almost wound  up on shore[ the russians were sunbathing i got a nice view so it wasnt all bad]. But when im hunting or even fishing i use them alot. for my pbj sandwiches and other stuff  But @ home  we reuse them alot before we throw them out. Believe me im far from a tree hugging environmentist but when i go to aldis and b/j and costco i keep them in my car and use them over again .See i lived under bloombergs thumb and everything he came up with had to do with dollars and cents  like he proposed a dime a bag and it went no where . so the state and city look at something and say OOOoo lets raise some and solve a problem at the same time and you know what the public is getting wise to their games.
