Governments at various levels are now in the habit of setting deadlines for new restrictions, bans and mandates.
Smoking bans, plastic bag bans, gun bans, federal toilet regulations, bottled water bans, mandates on what sort of vehicle you may drive.
All this, while we are told that US military operations in distant lands are somehow linked to American rights and freedoms.
If I was Governor
Business people would make business decisions. I would let restaurant people run restaurants. They have an incentive to keep their customers safe and happy. Health Dept. standards would be in place for restaurants. I would not get involved in fast food or take out packaging regulations. Customers would support or walk away from the businesses of their choosing. Telling small business people they can’t use the traditional bags they prefer doesn’t seem to fit with a society that can’t stop bragging about freedom, thanking the troops for freedoms, fighting wars for freedoms, staging military jet flyovers at sporting events for freedom, etc.
Ultra Lightweight Produce Bags
Give the planet a break and reach for these super lightweight, environmentally-friendly produce bags. Use caution when loading sweet potatoes, ears of corn, bananas, etc. Using two, three or four of the lightweight bags creates enough strength to recreate the use of the old bags that were not OK for the global environment.
Also, be sure to allow plenty of time and patience to pick away at the proper end of the bag in order to try and get it open. Using several bags for a few sweet potatoes requires the attempt at opening the bag steps to be repeated multiple times for the same size produce purchase.
Took a look on the web to see if others were sharing on this topic. No such luck. Independent thinking and blog posts appear to have been scrubbed away. The web is now about trying to sell you stuff.
Don’t Be a Litterbug
I think we’ll use the bag shown at the top of this page to clean out our cat litter box. We will not toss it out the window of our car as we blast down the highway. We will not leave it on the beach. We will bag up our trash and have a proper lid on the trash can. We will pick up trash when we see it blowing through the neighborhood.
