Well you can%26#039;t use paper because that hurts trees..so now you can%26#039;t use plastic because it doesn%26#039;t rot fast enough.
You can still use these:
baskets, suitcases, trunks, wheel barrows, front loaders, trailers and wagons....

Half a dozen of one side, six on the other. Yeah, this is a tough thing to think about.
On one hand you have plastic bags, which are by far the cheapest to make and cost the least for the store.
On the other hand you have paper bags, usually made out of recycled paper, but still from a wood source.
But there is an alternative: (if you have a third hand...) ;-)
Some stores are offering cloth bags that you can reuse, yes, you have to pay for the bag and yes, you have to bring them back to the store to put your stuff in, but they are reusable. Some grocery stores also offer cardboard totes that you can reuse over and over again, we use them quite a bit.
I don%26#039;t know if banning is the answer, providing alternatives would do about the same... 0% 0 Votes -
Most bags are bio-degradable and will decompose in about 2-3 years.
Its just another excuse for these power drunk twerps to cause us even more inconvenience.

yes. banning plastic bag is necessary because as we all know, plastics do not decompose so if they will just dump the garbage with the plastic it will harm the environment especially when they burn the piles of garbage
