use those "earth friendly" reusable bags at the grocery store? I do all of the time now. Not because they are earth friendly, but because they are just better. I can pack 12 of those plastic bags worth of groceries into just 4 of these. They are stronger and easier to carry. I love them.

When I remember to bring them, because I also get 5 cents off for each one, and 5 cents is 5 cents.

I usually insist on virgin paper bags, made from the pulp of ancient redwood trees and printed in red dye #2.

I insist on triple-plastic bags, which I burn when I get home (for EXTRA pollution!).

You had to bring bags with you in the really old days. I am not sure when paper bags and then plastic became common. I know we used paper in the 70' and then plastic in the 80's. |

I'd like to know how many people who use the cloth shopping bags at Wal-Mart get singled out for a 'receipt check' as they're leaving?

We use them, they hold way more than plastic bags. Although we do reuse plastic bags for emptying out the cat litter box and stuff like that. They are very useful if you ever go to Aldi's or Sams club.

I hire illegals to bring my groceries home. I insist that they do so in an unlicensed and uninsured diesel vehicle that leaks oil.
My tortillas never make it home.

No, I even throw my empty 6 pack rings in the lake so ducks can get them caught around their neck and drown. Hell, I even like to burn tires and pour my burnt motor oil on the ground.
