It's the law here. No groceries are bagged in plastic any longer and you're charge 10 cents for a paper bag, going up to 25 cents. You're encouraged
to bring your cloth bag.
For me the worst thing about bags, plastic or paper, was the mess they created at home. It seemed as though I was continually gathering them to throw
out. There was more refuse from the bags than the trash (I'm exaggerating).

Remedial Remedies
Perhaps those in the Environmentally-Conscious community could launch a plan to send their members down into the deep to retrieve all of
that plastic litter.
If things went awry, NO PROBLEMA, since the unfortunate participants would be Biodegradable and serve as nourishment for the Sea-Life.
Worth a Try ?

No more plastic bags in Long Beach either---a pain once in a while (like remembering to bring bags to Home Depot) but mostly no big deal. I'm all for
it except we're going to run out of bags for the dogs!

I suppose if we go back to paper, it'll only be a matter of time before someone starts crying about the dwindling forests.
What the world really needs is a plastic bag that will disintegrate in short time.

Me too, Wiley. Started my working life as a box boy at Alpha Beta. Rarely used boxes though. It was a bag job.

And me too, Dennis and Wiley, at a private grocery store. And, I loved the money at the time (I thought I was rich---14 years old, and in the 1%
in my mind).

Hey, if used properly trash can be functional ......
not sure about PP (Pila Pressure)
on the "bags" hell, put a nickel deposit on them, and they will disappear ......
That was something else one did back in the day, good money ...... just laying on the ground .... might have the same effect even though pickings got
.... few and far between, as I recall

Is good earth stewardship a partisan/political thing? Plastic bags are just plain awful. But paper bags are just as bad, and when you live in a place
that has LOTS of trees and see the miles and miles of clear-cuts and bare hills, makes ya wonder how long it will be before there isn't any more trees
to cut down to wipe your butt or build shelter. Remember, we need trees to breathe and to create a home for the animals we eat! They just can't keep
up with planting what they are cutting down, that's a fact. I pass logging trucks day in and day out where I live. But for a lot of people who live
other places who don't see this on a regular basis, logging trucks in their neighborhoods, its out of sight out of mind how bad it truly is with what
they are having to cut down in order to supply for the masses. What's a person to do?, plastic nor paper..none of it is a good choice... cotton bags,
that's at least a renewable resource that is farmed and takes quicker to grow. Plastic bags need to be banned everywhere and in my mind, since I live
in those forests, paper bags too! OH the horror! I think we're better than this, and can find new and exciting ways to avoid plastic bags!

The bag isn't 'bad', who just empties them the tosses it out into the street to blow away? Incinerate them with other burnable trash or place in the
trash and allow the professionals to process them. Why are they all over the countryside if not for irresponsible users of them?

Wonderful memory, Wiley, thanks. I worked hard at Alpha Beta and bought my beer at Market Basket when Coors was $1.25 a sixpak.
Thems was the days.

Did the Coors cans have the two little tabs on top that you pushed in to drink?

I've been trying to recall those, but can't seem to. Maybe they were a regional experiment.
I do recall the pull-tabs.

They were on the East Coast mid 70's. One hole was about about the size of a nickel to drink from, the other about the size of a dime for air.
