I was in Europe for a few weeks and everyone brings there own bags to the Store. If they don't, they must pay 5 euro. I wish America would do this. We need to have more concern for our environment!

I don't know about all of Europe, but in Germany we already have a thorough recycling system. It's not perfect, but the tons of garbage landing in the ocean comes from countries that have no environmental protection system. Help them to develop this.
