[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm ok with that. I'd rather pay 10 cents for paper than 5 for plastic (when I don't have reusable bags with me).[/quote]and when they ban paper bags? They used to use paper bags before they used plastic bags. Also reusable bags increase food poisoning fatalities [/quote]
They won't ban paper bags. Paper bags are recyclable. That's the difference between paper and plastic. You can currently ask for a paper bag and they will give it to you. They typically default to plastic because it's cheaper and easier. However, plastic does not break down in the environment. It's here forever. We have them in our oceans and in our forest. I am all for this change. I actually have wonderful hard sided foldable grocery bags. I keep them in my car   If for some reason, I don't have them because I forgot to put them back in my car after unloading groceries, I either don't use a bag at all and put everything back into the grocery cart to put into boxes in my car or I will ask for a paper bag. That's how I know that they have paper bags. [/quote]
