Darn those plastic bags
Posted: Sunday, February 10th, 2008
The controversy over whether or not to ban plastic bags in Madison has reached the UW. Last week’s Badger Herald had an editorial about the possible ban and it generated some interesting comments. I think it would be great if stores stopped offering plastic bags and encouraged people to bring their own bags. Eventually people would get used to it and remember to always have bags with them or accept the fact that they might have to buy the bags they want to use. Bags are too plentiful, use way too many resources, are wasteful, and it annoys me to see them flying around in the wind or caught in a tree.
