so having someones used cloth bag is better? Disease-ridden bags being stuffed on the same counter that I get to put my bag on for filling seems like a not-so-healthy alternative. So where is the Health Department's input on all this? I just love the idea of some stinkin bum using his reusable bag that his dog slept on and licked himself on using the same handler as my groceries. Now that's organic! ACK!

I'm all for plastic bags, six pack rings and even those styrofoam sand shrimp containers as along as we get to shoot and kill polluters.

Cloth or paper aren't as efficient for suffocation though.

this is rather odd....
but i agree with Marsha 100%, and she is DEAD on...
washing your food you pull out of the cloth bags has nothing to do with health issues per say, you should always wash your food... you MUST wash the bags however... if you dont, and hamburger or chicken juice gets in there, and festers around, you go to the store, place your nasty [Bleeeeep!] bag on the belt, or counter, contaminating it....
then, you place your groceries in the bag, contaminating your hands
then you contaminate the handle on the cart
then the steering wheel and shifter in your car
then the door knob on your house
then your counter
and, then, your fridge
things you dont wash that could be contaminated, milk jugs, juice jugs, beer, pop, mayo, mustard, bread bags, ect...
if you decide to wash your hands AFTER doing your shopping, and dont wash the bag, you still contaminated everthing you touched previous...
was the damn bags, public health also depends on it...

some of us use those bags not just for groceries, but for many things around the house.
Like decorating roadsides and rivers, or feeding wildlife? I wouldn't be in favor of a ban "IF" our state wasn't so full of pigs that litter, but we are. + 1 on the pigs comment. The amount of litter in this state is ridiculous. During last years humpy madness, our beaches and rivers looked like landfills. It gets worse every year. This has nothing to do with a local bag ban, but I've seen their effect on the landscape in other parts of the world, especially the caribbean. Nothing like fishing crystal clear water on white sand flats and having the mangroves and trees littered with plastic bags. Your guide says.....Bone at 11 o'clock mon, aim at the green plastic bag.

think about it Hank.. people grab crap and put it back in the store for someone else to grab all the time... some of those people also pick their butt before doing so... so now you have chicken juice and butt funk on the bag of Tortilla Shells because the person before you grabbed the wrong size and put it back...
washing the bags is just one step to help keep people safe...i dont know about you, but i would prefer to NOT get E coli, or MRSA while shopping...

Redhook agrees with you AM. That should tell you something.

Disposable grocery bags, be they plastic or paper, are a gross waste...there is absolutely no need whatsoever for either of them.
Fish on...

It all boils down to this - I'm right, everyone else is wrong, and anyone who disputes this is clearly a dumbfuck.

We've been using cloth bags a bank in town was giving away.
When they're dirty, we wash them.
It's incredibly complicated.

What liner do you no-plastic-bags folks use for your kitchen and bathroom garbage cans? Do you think diapers should be plastic free?
