The bags are like …
The bags are like bubbles you can make 6 of them from the average coke bottle. there is less than the average garbage bag or food bottle.
Garbage bags full of plastic wrappers go into landfill without complaint.
The phobia against shopping bags is akin to blaming the lowest common denominator.
A true farmer would welcome a water retaining layer under the crops.
Cotton bags are not eko friendly.
The only thing wrong with plastic bags is their habit of flinging themselves around the streets.

Our capitalist …
Our capitalist retailers praise plastic shopping bags for speed and ease of transactions, and as consumers we appreciate this timesavings. We need a standardized cleanable & reusable shopping bag format, which will fit on the existing bagging stands in order to maintain the speed of the sales transaction. Banning would only shift production to other “use-and-toss” bags and not solve the problem.

Actually, the reusable bags I use are shaped exactly like plastic bags, but they hold so much weight! That is pretty remarkable. Plastic ones tear so easily. Blah. How many eggs and jars did I break with them? AND the reusables paid for themselves when the grocery story gave me 5 and 10 cent credits for each bag.
