On May 4th, the town of Fairfax banned plastic grocery bags. Great job Fairfax!

Plastic bags are a major source of the huge toxic spew of plastic trash (two times the size of Texas) swirling in the Pacific Ocean between California and Hawaii.

May the 4th be with you!

Yea! I don't know how it would go over in Petaluma. There is a huge community of teabagging jumbo muffin eaters here (that want to bring in as many big box stores like Target, Walmart, etc as they can) and that crowd LOVES their plastic bags. You'll have to pry those plastic bags from their cold lifeless fingers...

So much for freedom of choice. It's not the bag that's the problem, it's the idiot who tosses it wherever he/she likes. Liberals are just as efficient of pushing their "values" on others as the conservatives. Glad I moved from that armpit years ago.

YaY Liberals! You have no choice between Paper and Plastic, but you do between killing a baby in the womb or having a birth!!!lol..
Congratulations! Now go recycle your foolishness for a rebate of common sense.
Patrick you have it right:
"It's not the bag that's the problem, it's the idiot who tosses it wherever he/she likes."
But for the Sheep minded Liberal, they need "Big Brother" to tell them what to do....
As for PoopydippyDope, he hates objects pulled from his hands especially ones that give him comfort.

Well, good morning to my jumbo muffin eating teabaggers!

Beer and muffins....

Judging by your name, I'll assume you have a Pit Bull. Drop a line to my group scrrap@mail.com, we can use more Pit Bull loving members.

No muffins for me, thanks... and I'll leave the teabagging to freaks like you.

You've always got to find something to snivel about and belittle others because you've got such a poor self image. Pathetic.

What Fairfax needs is a big wall and a moat. That town is full of the biggest hypocrites in the entire north bay. Sebastopol is a close second.

Hey Patrick- I think it was your buddies that came up with the teabag protest.

So Fairfax, Sebastopol, and I would imagine Berkeley, Bolinas, San Francisco, and even Petaluma are on your no-fly list. Looks like you are outnumbered! You might find the central valley more to your liking. Lots of Target stores there!

And my self image is perfectly in check; not too much as to have an overblown ego yet enough to really enjoy life.

It stands to reason that the teabaggers are pro-plastic bags. Tea bags, plastic bags- you guys got the bags covered!

Ooh yes, how could I forget Berzerkely... What a hedonistic, self centered and smelly city. SF is great, except for the libtard mayor who breaks city and state law to suit his own agenda forcing his own beliefs upon others. Unlike you, I don't need nor want the Govt telling me what I can or cannot carry my groceries home in, be it plastic, paper or canvas. Of course what it all boils down to is the fact we wouldn't be discussing this topic if more people would put their trash where it belongs.

One more thing about "green" Sebastopol, they've got the highest single occupant commuter rate in the county.

Hypocrites, the lot of you.

Touchy, touchy...

Yeah, that University of California is a real armpit, eh? And the Berkeley hills, where all those dumb "intellectuals" live? It's a rat hole I tell ya. They're so dumb, I bet they use cloth bags over and over like smelly hippies. They are not "smart" like you when you get a brand new bag every time you go shopping and then just throw it away, or out the window, or whatever you people do with all those plastic bags.

I can see you are having a tough go of it living here in northern Calif. Seriously, I think it would be better for you and your self image to go live in a less progressive locale where they don't think too much and read them book things causin' upset n all. I think Crawford, TX might be a place you should check out, but the Target stores are in Waco though. Maybe you could convoy over there with Georgie and Laura and chat about how the regressive republican mindset almost destroyed the country...until America got wise and sent in Obama to clean up the mess! You got lots to talk about!

It's so easy to keep a few canvas bags in the car. It's not so easy to remember to bring them into the store, LOL.

But making a habit of it is becoming more and more commonplace.

I hate the thought of all those billions of micro-pieces of plastic getting into the fish and the global foodchain.

All stores should give a few cents back when you bring your own bags. Most of them do, but some of them (like G&G) do not.

Some of my friends were dismayed to hear that they were losing the plastic bags to line their waste paper baskets. So, last week as I drove through Fairfax I stopped by the Farmers Market on Wednesday. I wanted to see how commerce worked without plastic bags. Here is what they were using:BioBag - the bag with a conscience. It looks like plastic, holds anything wet, dry, and for food storage. It felt like cashmere. Yummy. These can be found at Link They are made from corn and after a period of time they compost away. My hat is off to Fairfax.

Yea!!! to Bio Bag and thanks for the link. Aren't solutions great? If we all act together, we can starve the garbage patch that is out in the Pacific.

Great idea on the Bio Bags. The Biota water bottle was an idea ahead of its time. Many products are now made of compostable corn including picnic plates, forks, spoons, knives and cups.

I'm afraid the plastic flotilla swirling in the Pacific won't be going away soon. It's twice the size of Texas and goes deep too. How sad for our Mother Earth.

I'm neutral, recycling is good and is easy w/the plastics. I myself carry the canvas, most of the time. The thing I find funny is most forums here start or close in marin county. Much easier to be enviromentally correct when you're well off.
