June 9th, 2019 : Bag Bashing
When people believe they re doing the right thing they tend to look down their nose at anyone not in step with them
You know vegans look down on vegetarians, who look down on omnivores, who lord it over cannibals. Tap water drinkers cast a jaundiced eye at bottled water suckers, reusable grocery baggers give the stink eye to single use bag toters. Quote:

Anyone would have thought that the sun had refused to rise when Tesco announced that they would start charging 5p (6c) for every plastic carrier bag supplied at the checkout.
The prospect of having to take your own bags was just too much for some. As a kid I was often sent to the corner shop with a shopping bag and a list with the money wrapped up in it. I remember one embarrassing incident when, being of an inquiring scientific mind, I decided to demonstrate centrifugal force to myself. On the way back from the shop I hurled the bag around in a circle at arm's length fully expecting the contents to remain in the bag. You're ahead of me now, aren't you? Unfortunately I hadn't managed to wind up to the required speed and most of the shopping fell to the ground, including half a dozen eggs. I found some difficulty explaining that when I returned home.

Seeing as it's important to reuse things:
I'll be ready with one of these green skinned, Orion slave girl (a.k.a. Orion animal women), mudflap girl shopping bags. Attachment 68034 |
Great way to spread Salmonella and it's friends.

But the canvas bag is sturdy enough to hold more stuff, like all the plastic water and milk and soda and shampoo and yogurt and peanut butter and mustard and

Then have it dry cleaned... or spread those germs to the rest of your laundry.:unsure:
Man starves to death awaiting laundry day. |
Nawww, buy an autoclave. Use your pressure cooker if you have to. Spray it with Lysol between sterilizations.
Buy stock in companies that make those things. |
Man who starved to death waiting for laundry day worth millions in Autoclave, canvas bag maker, and Lysol, stocks.

The Orion slaves are from Star Trek, and look human, except for being green. That's a Twi'Lek (with the head tentacles), one of the slaves from Jabba's palace in Return of the Jedi.

I know, I got the image from here.
But it was close enough for Cellar work and who's to say they're not related. |
Could be just green with envy.

5 cents!! Cripes! it's been 25 cents here forever.
A pathologist I was listening to said sooner or later there will be a disaster caused by reusable cloth bags. She said they're perfect for spreading pathogens. Hello ZA. I hate cloth bags because they're so hard to load since they're all loose and sloppy. We also exclusively use paper bags as our kitchen garbage bags. They aren't plastic, they decompose and don't need to be washed. Now we buy them in bales of 500. |
I :heartpump the plastic grocery bags. I reuse them daily, primarily to collect the lumps from the kitty litter pans. One day soon, Washington is going to ban them, so I've started a stockpile. They're taking up a lot of room in my pantry, but I'm not giving them up until they pry them from my cold, dead hands.
I don't do the plastic water bottle thing. I call that an even trade-off. ;) |
They line all our trash cans, except the kitchen.
