Plastic Bag Ban

It always felt like total foolishness.

The depth of stupidity is staggering and ironic. Consider: the only plastic waste that made it to the ocean (the thing we were trying to avoid) was the waste we were recycling! That waste was sent to Asia because it was the only place where the cost of recycling made sense. Well guess what? The cost was cheap because they were disposing it improperly. Incredible!

PS - I used the grocery store plastic bags as garbage bags and that system worked pretty well. Now I have to buy plastic garbage bags -- so the net result is zero but some idiot politicians get to feel like they did something.
