[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand the point of charging $.05 for the plastic bag with idea that somehow THAT will keep it from becoming litter. I don’t get this at all. Are people not going to toss it on the ground because it cost a nickel? That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Just ban the damn bags. [/quote] It encourages you to bring your own.[/quote] The problem is you can't bring your own for curbside pickup (groceries, takeout, etc.). That's the whole point behind OP's post, and I agree with it. I always bring my own when I do my own shopping, which is most of the time, but for the times when curbside is necessary, there is no way to reduce the number of plastic bags used. Seems to defeat the purpose. [/quote] What do you put in trash cans in your house? [/quote]
