Re: Plastic bags solution must be provincewide (Our View, April 21)
While purchasing groceries this morning, it was discouraging to see how many plastic bags were being carried out of the store. Considering the little trouble it takes to bring one’s own reusable bags, this is so unnecessary.
But please: no biodegradable bags. These bags have the nasty habit of breaking apart into little plastic bits that stick to everything and are nearly impossible to clean up. One or two of these in a box of plastic bags that you intend to reuse, contaminates the whole box. It has been tried before, and it is still a bad idea.
