        This is the most important quote in the whole NPR article: "The most environment-friendly way to carry groceries is to use the same bag over and over again . . .dozens and dozens of times . . . " Then they imply how DIFFICULT that is. Yeah, no

        wouldn't using a communal carrying device only increase risk of cross infection. This sounds like a plastics lobby wet dream to me

        The "ban" was just a way to make more money. They never banned them... They just started charging for something that was always free.

        Just like when you still want a paper bill to come in the mail for your electric bill and they charge you $5.00 just for that.
