Bye Bye Bags... Council Approves Ban

[Rob Tucker]

There was one person who testified passionately about the values and benefits of disposable plastic bags and the unhappy effects on his life if the council should take the unfortunate step of banning these wonders of modern technology. It was quite a performance and gave me the impression the gentleman had not slept in 2-3 days from laying awake and rehearsing his testimony on the subject.

So you should be aware that even the lowly disposable plastic bag from Safeway is appreciated and has it's admirers.

I was tempted to go to him in the hallway, where he was repeating his testimony to whoever was available, and recommend he stock up on the things.... someone would have the historic position on Big Island of being the last person to carry their groceries with disposable plastic bags and it may as well be him.

But then I realized I too would be trapped in the hall hearing the pros (no cons) of the bags. Nahhhh.
