I’m disgusted… You’d think with everything you hear every day that less people would be using plastic bags? I went to the drugstore – you know that place that has aisles and aisles of items that are NOT medications, but you still call a “drugstore”? I bought one item, and the clerk went to put it into a plastic bag! He didn’t even ASK me if I wanted one.
Using plastic bags are such a lazy habit of Americans – both the people who are packing, and the people who take one- even for a chocolate bar!
I’m disgusted with the so called: Eco or green businesses that are selling bags made with plastic, to replace the fly away plastic bags. They are BOTH going to end up in the same place: the landfills, the sewers, the gutters. Yes, people tell me: Oh I can get that bag for $1. RIGHT? no WRONG! You’re getting a “woven” bag made with polypropylene: and that’s Plastic. Oh, it’s probably made by someone who is making $1 a day, works 7 days a week and lives with 14 people in a place the size of your one car garage. Oh yes, they share the beds because they all work different shifts – so that Americans can pay $1 for a “reusable” bag that is NOT going to save the use of foreign oil. Do you wonder why “they hate us”?
