I remember when I was a kid and we used paper bags and almost everything came in glass bottles. I think we as a society need to start making plastic a less attractive option.
- cellularmitosis 7y agoI was really disappointed when Austin, TX, in response to banning thin plastic grocery bags, instead switched to using thicker "reusable" plastic bags, when we could have just made paper bags the standard
- acomjean 7y agoUp in MA (about boston) they now have to charge for bags. 10cents in cambridge, 5 cents in Boston and a bunch of surrounding towns do the same. Its been a couple years and you seem to see a lot fewer of them as trash. (We had one that got blown up into a tree near where I live..) After some initial griping I've gotten used to it. Its not a lot of money, but it makes you more conscious of it (Because "do you need a bag" = $).
