way to go china! job well done."China bans plastic shopping bags"
China launched a surprise crackdown on plastic bags on Tuesday, banning production of ultra-thin bags and forbidding its supermarkets and shops from handing out free carriers from June 1.
those crafty chinese... instead of subtly hinting that reducing plastic bag use with the surprisingly charismatic gallen weston and offering you a penny back (on your $50 grocery purchase...) when you use eco bags china has out-and-out banned the use of plastic bags!
i'm all hurray for less litter but don't you find there are just some times when you NEED a plastic grocery bag??? carrying muddy shoes, something leaky... and i know it's probably making mountains out of mohills and proving just how lazy i am but don't you find it inconvenient to always have to be carrying that darned bag around with you??? i can't even count the number of times i've gone into a store and left my eco-bag sitting forlorn in the trunk... and it's just so much easier to not save that 1 cent than it is to go all the way back to the car and get it...
