Now it is becoming reality..........


Green Police Audi Ad Super Bowl 2010 - YouTube

"L.A. on Tuesday became the newest and by far the largest city to back a ban on plastic grocery bags, approving an ordinance that applies not just to food stores and mini marts but also big retail chains with their own line of groceries, such as Target and Wal-Mart."

L.A. approves ban on plastic grocery bags - Los Angeles Times

"Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, who has tried to curb soda consumption, ban smoking in parks and encourage bike riding, is taking on a new cause: requiring New Yorkers to separate their food scraps for composting."

God forbid that the consumers go through all the effort of keeping a few reusable bags in the car! Such a hardship.

I didn't think you would have an answer for that. You globals never do. Just rant and rave. I don't want to bring my own bags I like my plastic bags from the store that I use as trash bags in the bathroom and bedroom etc. Actually sometimes I take a big handful of em and bury em in the back yard next to my car batteries just for the hell of it too. lol
