there is NO bag litter on the streets, ever, any more.

fwiw, I think I'd rather have that than a ban. - b. May 23, 13:55 8
- Hmm. Our Target bags rock. Much sturdier than the grocery bags. -- nm - Spawn May 23, 13:56 7
  - localTargets used to have great plastic bags; but, maybe a couple of years ago?, they switched to weaker ones. - b. May 23, 13:58
  - Also, readin gthat link, it makes me sad that the paper bag ban died. I would rather see them all banned then some of them. - Spawn May 23, 13:58 5
    - I've used reusable bags longer than anyone else I know, I've given them as gifts (pretty ones!), and more. if paper are offered, I choose (and reuse) - b. May 23, 14:35
    - I like my reusable bags, I just never remember to take them with me. -- nm - znufrii May 23, 14:24 2
      - I have mine on a hook by the back door. I just grab them on the way to the car. - CovingtonCat May 23, 15:06
      - This is me right now. I guess that will be changing... -- nm - con_carne May 23, 15:03
    - They're very useful for going on trips, too -- nm - Beryllium May 23, 14:23

      - Tons. There is litter, just not those bags. There are a lot of locations to recycle those bags, so I guess that helps. -- nm - Spawn May 23, 13:51 2
        
        folks use them as trashbags, poop scoopers (i always have one in my pocket) but yeh i've seen fewer in the wild -- nm - zeitgeist May 23, 13:55
        
        i don't know, the ones we used to see were always ripped etc. like, the handles broke and someone dumped it, etc. - Andie May 23, 13:53
