Do you still use plastic shopping bags?

[Dad]

I do and I reuse them as garbage bags...in other words they go out in my motherfukking trash.

whats your situation??

or is this just a fukked thread??? if so give me points!!

[sickler]

I do. I refuse to walk into the grocery store with a cloth bag.

Some of the chains (Loblaws, Independent grocer) started charging 5 cents per plastic bag. I don't mind paying it.

I have a reusable shopping bag, but if I exceed its volume then I always ask for plastic bags. They make awesome fire starters for my hearth.

Fukking thieves.

I was at local hardware store a couple of weeks ago with $350 worth of electrical shit.

They wanted to charge me 5 cents at the counter, told her if she charged me, she can go and restock shelves herself, I will buy my shit elsewhere.
Manager finally showed up and gave me the bags. ****ing tree hugging wankers.

Thanks for the points, Sickler!

I put one over my head when I'm rubbing one out, really gives you an intense feeling at that "special moment".

[tacomax]

Oh shit, you mean for shopping.

Everyone has. It was a governmental thing.

As of June 1, 2009, everyone in Toronto will have to pay a five cent fee for plastic bags. Shoppers in Toronto will want to remember to bring their own bags to the grocery store starting Monday.

On June 1, the City of Toronto starts requiring stores to charge a nickel for single-use plastic bags. Proceeds from the fee go towards the retailers - not the city.

I keep a few in the back seat for when I don't have anything else to randomly throw out along the highway on earth day.

Wow, didn't expect expect a couple of these posts. If you don't want to use cloth bags that's fine....but to be against them? Thats asanine...it always astounds me that people can be "pro-pollution", it may be your right but it is also my right to call you a small minded, self-centric dumbass.

I don't live in Toronto. Maybe it's a municipal thing and not provincial or federal?

Not sure what the law is where I live but only some stores charge for the bags.

Biodegradable plastic bags are now being used.

[BestPlay2day]

Use them for small garbage containers in the house. Will recycle them by bring them to Cub Foods as they have a spot to drop them off. I won't carry a reusable cloth bag around when I shop.

[Dad]

fukk the future and its problems.

Everybody knows Marty McFly is going to fix everything anyway.

Mcfly still owes me lunch money from 1996

[Shark79]

[Kindred]

[Kindred]

[Richkas]

I do it like the brothers here in the midwest, they ask for paper in plastic.

I use the plastic bags for garbage.

I am going to start using cloth bags if I do regular shopping, though.

[Shark79]

Havent used one in over 2 yrs ... reusable shopping bags is what we have ... got about 10 of them for all purpose.

I didn't say I was against them, I think they're great. When I use them to start fires they are no longer taking up space in the landfills, and thus I have made them green.
