plastic bags

[peg4x4]

There has been a big push around here to get rid of plastic bags-have everyone bring in resuseable ones-Have youall seen any reduction in the number of bags blowing in the wind?? Seems as if there ARE less of them around here..

Well I guess we've come full circle. Hasn't been too long ago everybody was pushin' plastic bags over the "brown paper" ones.

Last time I was asked if I wanted a plastic bag I said "no, I'm tryin' to save them plastic trees."

We are considering bringing canvas bags to the store instead of using the plastic ones. I do reuse mine in a number of ways, trash can liners, lunch bags, car litter bags... I hate just to throw them away.

I support the timber industry paper please. Trees are a renewable resource.

The conversion to plastic over paper was and is a pure ecological disaster. It would take hours to name the ways. I doubt there's a tree between here and Atlanta (150miles away) without a plastic (half-life of 100 trillion years) bag hung up in it's limbs.

We have a sm. dairy and buy our grain a ton at a time in plastic bags. We put them in the trash to end up in the landfill. No one will take them back.

I found a good use for plastic grocery bags , I slip them over my shoes when putting rubber boots over the top , the boots go on and come off much easier.

The plastic bags the feed companies are using reduces the lost attributed to damaged product (torn bags). Also, I overheard feed store owner conversation with area feed salesman, seems like spilled feed in the bed of an empty truck is a source of "cross contamination" of the next product hauled in the truck causing problems for the trucker.

I thought we developed a new fruit tree that grew these big white odd looking bag shaped fruit.
I picked me abunch and fried them. The taste was awfull, couldnt chew them. Boiling and baking them was no better. I figured I didn't wait for them to ripen. So I'm gonna waite a while longer.

Any suggestions on how long it takes them to get ripe and how to prepare?
