This thing about shopping bags, is just Bullying, plain and simple. They discouraged us from using large paper bags. Mainly by making them thinner, so they’ll rip open. So we moved on to the convenience of the plastic bags. But now that that’s what everyone is use to. And even though you might use a reusable bag, most of the time. That’s no longer good enough for the eco-bulliers. So they get the plastic bags outlawed, because once in a great while, they get blown by the wind. And don’t break down, for years.

Well aluminum soda cans don’t break down either. And I’ve seen far more of these, crushed along the road side. Than I have seen plastic bags caught in trees. But nobody is telling the soft drink industry they must put their product in only biodegradable bottles. Why? Because they’re too big to be bullied.

I guarantee you, in five years time. They won’t be happy with the reusable grocery bags we have now. Just to push us around, they’ll demand we use something else. Something more “eco-friendly”. I’m sure they’d just prefer we all just died and went away, to be their ultimate eco-friendly solution.
