plastic bag hypocrisy

I don't agree in making consumers pay for the plastic but i don't mind if they will require buyers to bring their own grocery bag.i think that we are having too much plastics.my home has too many plastics that are just kept In shelves which we are going to use as garbage plastic.

i agree, but it all seems to have to do with convenience. i mean, who wants to deal with cloth diapers? lol

We do not pay for the bags, our stores do offer a place to recycle them, but they do sell reusable bags. Not only that, some stores give you a small monetary reward for using the cloth bags, or even if you bring your own plastic bags in to the store. The laws often are for the people who abuse the status quo, the ones who let the bags fly all over the place. The technology is in place to make bags that decompose in the landfill, but they cost more. There is a big movement to encourage people to use cloth diapers, but there is just as much resistance.Again, it is possible to make biodegradable plastic, but it is more expensive and depletes resources that could be used elsewhere. However, plastic should still be a choice.

I agree in a sense. I feel like they are using "saving the environment" as an excuse to charge us more and make more of a profit. I agree that there probably ARE tons and tons of plastic bags littering the streets and I'm sure SO MUCH of it in landfills - but at the same time - SOME stores just decide to have a recycling program (free), instead of charge you MORE for plastic bags. Luckily not too many places are doing it, at least not in my area. But I also disagree with the whole idea. I mean, perhaps it's getting people to think more about what they're doing and to bring their re-usable tote bags, so in concept it seems alright, but at the same time - I"m sure it's just an excuse to make a bigger profit for big corps, hiding behind the "we want to save the environment" shield. Ugh

I have been in a country that in their state they do not use plastic bags. Instead if you're a customer, be sure that you have your shopping bag with you to keep all the groceries you have. It is a good campaign to start at least just to be environment friendly. About disposable diapers,hmmm they should also include those that are made to compost easily because we do know that disposable diapers lasts 500 years before they degrade. It only needs discipline. If they want recycled paper bags for groceries or just our own native bags(bayong) for shopping to local stores then why not? I don't see any issues with that. It will not make me a bad person to carry such anyway. But they should also consider other items which harms the environment such as what you mentioned. Happy Mylotting.

That's the problem in this campaign because even if we prohibit the use of plastic bags, but there are still many products that use plastic like bottled water and candies. If we really have to ban the use of plastic, then we should be consistent with the action and ban all uses of plastic. I wonder what we can do with candies which use plastic wrappers.

Propaganda promotes control of the peoples of the world. One that gets me the most is prejudice against peoples. If you go to any rural area you see all people getting along, working together to help each other. Then you insert propaganda that accuses some doing this or that. That causes the start again of prejudice that is not needed. Just because one group of people causes problems for others doesn't mean the whole of those people are at fault. So if the Major Rich people want you to use a product they are producing, they are going to hit us with what ever it takes for us to go out and buy it. Even if it isn't worth it or if it is. People need to start thinking for themselves, their wants and needs, not what others say or feel they need. Do I need a new computer every time a new operating system comes out, NO but they tell us we need to... Plastic bags is only one of many items they work with.. see by telling us it is bad to use, they now have the excuse to charge for them. It is all a control on how or where we spend. Take the control, to work with each other to succeed and survive.

It is part of the whole craze and trends encamps with, as if they were that firm on assuring that the world goes green, then why on earth as you stated would so many other products still be highly promoted. Sometimes I think it just another tactic to humble us and continue to keep us as poor as they can. As long as so many rush and continue to purchase the highly publicized Green Products, they find nothing wrong with it. I for one tried a Go Green product, it was a Shampoo and Conditioner to be exact. My head itch and ached so bad for days that not only did I spend quite a bit for it, I ended up throwing it in the garbage.
