In Portland they banned plastic, so it's either paper or you bring your own bang (which I do). It's weird going to Target, etc., and bringing my own bag.

Weird my ass! They banned plastic here, and are charging a $.10 bag fee for paper. I usually have like 40 ba-kajill-trillion shop bags in the back of my ve-hick-uhl.

I always get plastic, which I re-use as trash bags.

Ok, maybe I meant awkward! Because, when I bring in my bag the clerks still try to use and charge me for a bag, even with me throwing my bright pink reusable bag in their face

I have a lot of bags too! I once told a clerk that I was a "bag lady" and she looked at me funny and Evan did a and explained to me that that isn't what I think it is... I thought it was a lady who has a lot of bags!

Scientists estimate that supermarket-type plastic bags take 500-1,000 years to photodegrade (when exposed to ultraviolet radiation from sunlight). Supermarket plastic bags are made of polyethylene, a polymer that doesn’t biodegrade. Microorganisms don’t recognize it as food.

Plastic bags befoul our vegetation, sanitary sewer systems, and beaches. They accumulate in our oceans and threaten marine habitat. Plastic bags cause over 100,000 sea turtle and other marine animal deaths every year when animals mistake them for food. A great variety of animals, land and especially marine, can choke to death on bags, experiencing much pain and distress. If swallowed whole, animals may not be able to digest real food and die a slow death from starvation or infection. 267 species have been scientifically documented to be adversely affected by plastic marine debris.

The amount of floating plastics in the world’s oceans is increasing dramatically. The Pacific Trash Vortex, a “gyre” or vortex of marine litter in the North Pacific Ocean, is characterized by exceptionally high concentrations of suspended plastics, such as plastic bags, bottles, containers and other debris, that have been trapped by currents. It is now estimated to be twice the size of Texas. Its impact on marine ecosystems is catastrophic due to its toxic nature and threat to marine life.
