The plastic bag scam, coming soon to you. Stores just end up selling you thicker plastic. A person that reuses a bag ends up buying thicker plastic for their waste bins and dog pooh. All this for a bag that is recyclable, reusable, good in wet weather and sanitary. Right now people can decide what bag to use and stores can decide to provide them or not. Nanny government is actually creating a new revenue stream for corporations and nothing goes to pick up litter.
