Single use bags banned.

Dang it. If they do that here, I'll have to BUY bags to pick up the dog poop with.

But they are very damaging as litter, so I guess I can see it....

They're working on doing that here (Dallas) due to various reasons including environmental. I think it's a capitalist/government plot to have me buy trash bags and a grocery sack or two.

Those reusables are 'FREEDOM Bags'!

If they'd get rid of them here I'd be glad. Paper products light easy, burn up quick and don't stink half a day like plastic bags and bottles.

Picking up dog poop with paper bags is gross. Especially when you have to "comb" the loose stools out of the grass.

Trick or treat?

That's what I use them for too. Doing so eliminates the "single use" monker.

OTOH, non-biodegradable plastic sequesters carbon. Isn't it good to do that?
