Agreed about council... they're idiots. I have no faith in them after the 2-bag-limit/hsr fare raise fiasco last week. morons.
I'm sure they'll come up w/ an alternative: recycle ALL plastic bags into highways! "it's a win-win"
I pray they wake up and smell the landfills, b/c this issue is rediculously important (almost as-much so as Light Rail).
My favourite line

Think reducing trash will be tough? Then you're probably not up for an all-out ban on plastic bags.

Gotta love The Spec! They're just SO out-of-touch. It cost me like $6 for cotton bags from Fortinos/No Frills. These bags will last what, 3-5 years? at least. For $6? And everytime I use them I a) bonus PC Points towards free groceries, and b) feel socially responsible.
It's not THAT tough an adjustment, Dana Brown. It's a quick, simple &
cheap change that MUST be done in order to rid our dependancy on disposable EVERYTHING!
