I don’t know how much the City is actually spending on this but, I do know that plastic bags are a huge problem. It is just nuts how much crap we, as consumers, put into the environment. Throw away plastics are bad for the environment.

Here is one for the guys. I have tried to use those canvas bags that are in my trunk. But I usually forget about them until I am in the checkout line. (old times disease) What works for me are ‘Chico Bags’. Huge bags that hold up to 25 pounds and stash in the attached tiny bag. I can keep them on my cars console and stick them in my pocket. They work better for me than the canvas bags. Just a thought.

I like the idea but we are a pretty environmental city as is, do we really need to have city staff and public money spent on this? There are numerous groups around town who push the message let alone friends and neighbors why spend tax dollars?

The city cant meet budget and it seems like some of these jobs are self creating/sustaining busy work for something the nonprofit sector is doing anyways. We have deeper social ills to deal with, how about cut someone from that department and put that cash towards helping homeless or something equally as worthy.
