| 1455358 | 2019-01-21 07:06:00 | My supermarket had a recycling scheme for the plastic bags . Not sure where they went after collection for recycling, probably into storage or a 3rd world country My rubbish actually goes into one big yellow plastic bag, as do many locally . Why havnt large rubbish bags been banned ? double standards All this Clean green BS is driven by those who think buying a Prius hybrid car was saving the planet . Token gestures so we can feel good and pretend we are making a difference . Im more concerned about the effect of plastic microfibres , and all the Plasticizers making their way into our foods . Glass is looking pretty good now, glass drink bottles are damn expensive though . I grabbed a few of the huge bags of the plastic bags that were being sent to recycle . I got them at the super markets in town . I used them to insulate my garage walls - install the inside panels (I got them from scrap too) and just pack the voids full of crumpled-up plastic bags . It has worked so good that I wonder why they aren't being used that way as a method of disposal for a long, long time . When I get the shop cleared up a little I'll post a few pixs of the walls in my shop for youse guys . Here in Montana, it costs the person bringing in the recyclables, a small fee to have them recycled . That's just backwards - but that's because the population is around a million people over a lot of vacuous acres . The ability to gather recyclables from the population and bring them to a central shipping area is a staggering feat I feel and not worth any money - hence the recycling fee . But I agree that plastic bags are hazardous to the environment . I've seen seals and fish with plastic objects wrapped around their bodies . I even lost an outboard engine because a plastic bag wrapped around the water inlet on one of my 40 HP Mercury outboard engines when I was about 100 miles out from shore in SoCal . I was pretty angry about that and had to limp back into Dana Point on a single engine which added hours to the return trip . |

| 1455359 | 2019-01-21 20:11:00 | I've seen seals and fish with plastic objects wrapped around their bodies . . The fish I buy comes wrapped in plastic . So its not the supermarket plastic wrapping fish , its like that out in the wild :devil Its the tokenism that p*sses many off with plastic bag ban, they only ban the carry bags with handles . We know they were only banned in NZ to keep the softcore greenies happy . Every other plastic bag is somehow OK . Every plastic drink bottle is OK . Every plastic milk bottle is OK . Every Large plastic rubbish bag is OK . Nearly everything at the supermarket comes wrapped in plastic . Even biscuits in cardboard box have a plastic bag inside . Its not all bad, Im now buying less as I dont have free bags to put it all into . |

Might not bother you, but it probably stops anyone recommending this officially. |
