Good luck with that.

Klick and Wright estimate that the San Francisco ban results in a 46 percent increase in deaths from foodborne illnesses, or 5.5 more of them each year. They then run through a cost-benefit analysis employing the same estimate of the value of a human life that the Environmental Protection Agency uses when evaluating regulations that are supposed to save lives. They conclude that the anti-plastic-bag policies can't pass the test -- and that's before counting the higher health-care costs they generate....
Column: The disgusting consequences of plastic-bag bans - Inside Bay Area
5.5 deaths per year in SF alone to save an eensy beensy ratio of paper usage...while our government works to neutralize the 2nd Amendment in order to save Just One Life.
Go figure.
That study also found, happily, that washing the bags eliminated 99.9 percent of the bacteria. It undercut even that good news, though, by finding that 97 percent of people reported that they never wash their bags.
Good luck with that.

Easy answer is to educate people about washing their bags. Even the haters could learn to do that.
The bags need to be banned because people are too lazy, ignorant and apathetic to do it themselves.
It's a small number of people, offset by the saved cost of not having to give out free plastic bags and the ability to sell reusable bags to their living customers.
Small numbers add up, banning plastic bags in the US would kill over 2000 people every year. If we use the EPA's standard cost benefit analysis on the bans we discover that they cost way more than we get in return.
Or we could just run a PSA reminding people to wash their bags.
Apparently, some don't think they can learn to wash their bags. Weird.Got to love how much faith the left have in people.
They're very common and very cheap.Unless of course stores sold those reusable bags that can be tossed in a washer.

People would have to use paper towels to do that. That means they'd be adding more paper waste into the environment via their garbage.

Good luck with that.

So people are too laxy, ignorant and apathetic, so we need other people to tell them what to do. Have you ever stopped to think about just how hypocritical your entire ideology is?

He does care if he is a hypocrite, he just spews his bull shit.
Bag bans are great for business, that's why so many stores have opted to stop using plastic bags or to charge for them.
How is killing people good for business?

Food should be free. It grows on supermarket shelves. That's what LOLberals really "think".
Apparently, some don't think they can learn to wash their bags. Weird.Got to love how much faith the left have in people.

Some stores even give you five cents for every bag you bring instead of using theirs.
BTW, as usual, Europe is way ahead of us on this. I remember seeing Parisians pull out their own bags in the market. Come to think of it, I saw the same thing in Old San Juan.
Good luck with that.

yea its a crock of shit.....someone is making money over these cheap canvas bags.....grocery bags are not "clogging" up the landfills.....It has nothing to do with Saving the Earth and everything to do with implementing Agenda 21.
