[QUOTE=superdinoman;26120125]Because people are to lazy to sort their garbage out and do the right thing. As Ive constantly said that everyone is so keen to ignore, you can filter plastic out easily at the dump, but rather than doing so they just dump everything together and bitch about plastic.[/QUOTE] Those inner city folk aren't worried about sorting garbage, because littering doesn't affect them directly.

here's a crazy idea prepare to have your collective minds blown buy the 99c reusable cloth bags instead of getting new paper/plastic bags every single time you go shopping
This should cut out some of the plastic bags that enter the ocean each year. Now only if the damn politicians weren't so easily bought off then we could have made this a lot better of a law. Though I wish lobbying would be banned.
My family saved like thousands of dollars a year using plastic grocery bags we kept instead of the expensive trash bags. They are both have the same effect :P
[QUOTE=Leon Trotsky;26119108]and who said or implied that this is the most important issue? you know that they don't just focus on one issue at a time, right? yeah how dare those silly brown people work their ass off and try to provide for their family [editline]17th November 2010[/editline] and how many people actually bother to recycle?[/QUOTE] Silly brown people is probably your most used noun next to conservative [editline]17th November 2010[/editline] Well actually, I guess it'd be more like your most common uh...people that you talk about
They won't legalize marijuana, but they'll ban grocery bags....
Am I the only one who has no preference between paper and plastic? I guess plastic takes up less garbage space, but that's about it. Other than the issues surrounding paper bag production (trees) and job loss in the plastic bag industry, I can't see this as anything but a good thing.
