Nonsense. Plastic bags are a particular problem in Hawaii, where endangered turtles mistake them for jelly fish and then choke to death. And yes, tires should NOT litter the road and disposable diapers are not really disposable. My mom never once used a disposable diaper on me or my four siblings and she was just fine. They go into landfills, which Hawaii doesn't really have and just pile up.
A raft of plastic is heading toward Hawaii as we speak and killig thousands of miles of ocean habitat. Getting rid of plastic bags is the least we can do.
Ban 'em. Now.
And remember --the government is us. It is not a separate entity. The government regulates murder (it's illegal), requires people to have driver's licenses (it helps), and requires septic tanks below 5th in HPP. I think we have seen that when Government (we are the government) steps back and allows the Free Market to make all choices for us as a nation, what we see is the complete and utter destruction of that nation, as surely as if the Chinese Army had invaded. They didn't have to. The Free Market left us with what we are looking at now.
When I hear people chastising the Government --the only power we the people have-- it makes me wanna puke. Into a paper bag.
