I had two "Old Maid" aunts. They were born in the 1888 and 1893. Growing up they raised us as their house was next to the grade school I attended. They had a large garden behind the house and raised most of their food. Canning stuff and putting it away for the winter. They saved aluminum foil and steel cans. Recycling stuff all their lives. They took in laundry for others and washed and ironed everything. They always took paper bags with them to the store and folded them up when they got back home. They never made much money but lived well and always shared. Looking back at those times, those too old ladies were way ahead of their time.

Sometimes, I think I am just to lazy to do what is best for the environment. Banning plastic is something that is probably a good thing. My problem is that it is the Government that is doing it.

Sadly there are those that think legislate me to a better person works.

Correct me if I am wrong, but did we not get rid of paper sacks at grocery stores in favor of plastic to save the trees?
Now what are we saving?

On a side note, there are recycling drop boxes in Wal Mart entrances & other large grocery stores to recycle plastic bags.
