Re: San Fransisco bans Plastic bags from Grocery stores
[ QUOTE ]
Subject says it all really.
Plastic bags cost grocery stores about .01-.02 cents, paper costs them .08 cents, the new bags that are replacing plastic bags cost .16 cents. So it's either the bad for the trees -paper, or the costly to the grocery store, and then the consumer, "biodegradable bags".
Insanity.

A couple stores in the area offer high quality resuable cloth bags, and give a discount for using them. (.50/bag if I recall correctly?)
