Some may be in favor of cloth bags, but when plastic bags have been banned, most people just switch to paper.The environmental effect will be huge.Have you ever seen a paper mill? How about an area that has been clear cut for pulp wood?
The other day I was walking along the shore just north of the Waiopai tidepools and noticed hundreds of pounds of plastic trash.Guess what, I didn't see one plastic bag.Most of the trash was fishing debris.Nets,line,and floats make up most of the debris but also many plastic water bottles and dozens of slippahs.
Maybe we are banning the wrong plastic.
What do you stick the fresh Ahi in that you buy along the road ? What about the Huli Huli chicken.Cloth bag is going to be kind of messy.
