GOOD Magazine: Totes are Hot

http://good.is/

On March 27, San Francisco became the first U.S. city to ban plastic bags. The impact of plastic bags on the environment is well known, but what is not as widely discussed is that paper bags are harmful as well. Be a dutiful citizen and use reusable or compostable bags that dramatically lessen your impact on the Earth.

...and you believe that fox is real news.

Plastic DOES SUCK.

Its a lot easier for people to give up plastic bags than meat, I guess.

@freedomismoneyusa that .01 percent can one day become 50 percent or more if we continue at the current rate. Plastic doesn't have to be evil if it is recycled.

@readyxxi I think there's nothing wrong with using plastic bags, it's just that so many are being thrown instead of recycled,so if we recycled as much as we use them it would help the environement.

@freedomismoneyusa You're not funny. Just wanted to make sure you got a nice comment in your inbox reminding you of this.

@savethewhales1000 like I said, brainwashed idiots are destroying the earth. .01% of the world in a spot that 5 people per year visit covered in plastic doesn't sound as bad as dealing with a bunch of people like you all day.

@freedomismoneyusa Plastic isn't destroying the world, eh? Ever hear of the great pacific garbage patch or better known as plastic island? It's a stretch of ocean larger than Texas which is densely littered by plastic. Look it up.

You all are ignorant clowns. I hate to break it to you hippies, but reusable grocery bags are made out of PLASTIC. If you read the tag on any reusable bag, it says "reusable and recycleable". You CANNOT melt down 'cotton or hemp' and mold it into a new bag.

A normal plastic bag has 16 times LESS plastic than a reusable one (prove me wrong), therefor takes 16 times less time to break down. Brainwashed idiots are growing and destroying our world, not plastic.

A plastic bag is the most and excellent bag you can have. PLASTIC bag is resistant, reusable countless times, washable, you can use it even for food and wash it again. Plastic bag will perdurate so much time to you USE it. Paper bag is trash, its hard to reuse it, you can't wash it, you can't use it with heavyweight, paper bag is trash waste. Plastic bags is better, reusable, multipurposes. People have given a bad use for it... so sad and now plastic bags are SATANized.

Even if they poison your children? I think maybe you're the freak.
