Thank you for that link, bb. I have half-heartedly considered using
and sometimes actually have used my own cloth and vinyl bags when
shopping, but that article has motivated me simply not to take plastic
bags from stores any more. I'll take my own reusables--I'm going to
round them up and put them in the car right now. Don't wanna be no
slacktivist.
The direction that a simple word or notion can take has always amazed
me. You post a message about some guy who's too smart for his own
good that becomes a thread about radios that becomes an exchange of
new sexual terms that leads me to stop using plastic bags. You gotta
love the internets.
