  • Liberals are absolutely insane. What a load of crap this video is. According to liberals, we should be afraid of everyting because everything has a .00057% chance of killing us and the environment. Hells bells, just live life, everything will be ok.  Then, vote all liberals out of office because they are mandating stupid ass policies like this.

  • Seems the fake Conservatives have dug us a pretty big hole both economically and environmentally the last 8 years. Real conservatives are conservationists. Go chase your liberal boogie man somewhere else.

  • This is absolutely mind-boggling how so many of you people do not do research at all and just comply to whatever a voice tells you to be a fact.

    Plastic bags do not kill thousands of animals, and only consume 0.03 percent of the United States intake on oil. Numerous animals dying from plastic bags have been proven FALSE.

    If we result to paper bags, we will consume more energy, kill more trees, and produce carbon emissions that go into the atmosphere by decomposing.

  • Proven false by whom?

  • my mom always keeps re-usable bags in the car

  • Actually, the reusable bags I use are shaped exactly like plastic bags, but they hold so much weight! That is pretty remarkable. Plastic ones tear so easily. Blah. How many eggs and jars did I break with them? AND the reusables paid for themselves when the grocery story gave me 5 and 10 cent credits for each bag.

  • I love the bags that fold up and fit in my purse. I almost always remember to bring them along because they are just hiding in there. The trick is putting them right back once I have emptied it at home. Having 2 bags definitely helps.

  • You know what is environmental. Making lot of money. That really is the most environmental thing to do because when you make money you increase efficiency of world and conserve all its resources. Spending money to buy worthless crap is not environmental, spending it to make more money is most eco friendly and ethical thing to do. Also best imaginable charity is to make more money.

  • That's all I use, it's awesome, it saves not only resources, our planet but also money, especially since some cities and companies are starting to charge a few cents for the plastic ones. Great vid!

  • The thing that gives me the biggest laugh is watching people put bottled water into their eco-friendlyly bags - hehehehe.

    Kidjon - quit whining. We libs just don't like your plastic rubbish blowing down our streets. And your guns have a higher than .00057% chance of killing us.

    XaviersSecretary - it's "resort to paper" not "result to paper". Bags are made out of renewable farmed trees and reused waste not hardwoods.

  • Plastic doesn't really decompose anyway. It just ends up in micro particles in the rivers and ocean to be consumed by aqua life making even the smallest life a victim to pollution. Notable decreasing in sea bird population down to plankton is affecting ALL sea life and its mostly from plastic consumption.

  • Very nice, we actually did a blog on our site about these.

  • Anything that reduces plastic bag usage has my vote.
