As George Carlin said, “ maybe the only reason people are here, is because the planet wanted plastic and couldn’t make it itself”

Calling plastic bags "pollution" is an ugly and bigoted way of thinking about evolution and nature. "Plastic bags" are the new "black thugs".



Dale, you over-thought this one.

Ban Plastic Bags



this is akin to the gun control argument

blame the inanimate object rather than the people who use it irresponsibly

The U.S. total is almost all litter, which is disgraceful. I do not understand why anyone would want to litter anywhere. I was getting gas yesterday in a nice part of Dallas and I saw a man dump his ashtray on the ground - and there was a trash can four feet away.

China to the rest of the world: Deal with it.

Not unlike Democrat ideology: Let the Republicans straighten out the mess we've made. Just give me the votes.

I have never understood why environmentalists won't attack the litter problem. It has the least complex cause of any of the problems. A friend of mine is a huge anti-fracking activist - but won't touch the litter issue.

Plastic isn't the problem - lazy and/or indifferent people are the real problem.

Fracking and climate change involve scientific debate. Litter really doesn't. So, I think they go for the more interesting debate.

Neither can survive any actually scientific debate. Thats why they run from it yelling.."The debate is over!!...The science is settled!" over their shoulder as they run.

I want to keep plastic bags around, just in case liberals want to start a new cutting edge protest where they place the bags over their heads.

True. Fracking earthquakes and climate change are both generally accepted by the real science community (though the latter more than the former).
