Plastic garbage bags, the kind that you can buy right there in the grocery store.

They are, unless you're lazy. Disposable diapers take up more space in landfills than everything else combined, which is reason enough to not use them right there.

So if I buy plastic bags from the store, that is better than reusing the free ones as trash can liners? (Not arguing here, just pointing out the ridiculous.)

As far as cloth diapers go.....I haven't seen any of those in a long, long time. Who here knows of someone who uses them in place of plastic ones?

Aboob, your Depends comment was pretty funny. thumbs Not yet for me, could be soon, though. I'll let you know.

I only have one re-usable grocery bag (and three re-usable 6-pack wine bags), so when I buy more than usual groceries I get them in the usual plastic grocery bags. Works perfect because those are what we line our household trash baskets with. We end up with 2 or 3 bags of non-recyclable garbage in the trash can weekly. We could probably do better, but there's a fair amount of non-recyclable food packaging and non-recyclable crap in the junk mail.

Some good chuckles in this thread.

Only used disposable diapers for my kids a few times while traveling. Cloth diapers the vast majority of the time. Considering how much work babies and small children are, diapers aren't that much additional hassle. The Maytag washing machine gave up the ghost at 19 years, however. Could have been due to those diaper years.

used to buy reloading powder from Walmart. Price was unbeatable.
then they decided to shut down that dept. Sad. Haven't been there
much in the last year or two.
Good ole American business ethic. Find a need and fill it.

theres also swivel packages, spoon packages, plug packages, weight packages, jig packages, bait packages, pink worm packages, hook packages...


should i continue?

all of which goes into ONE plastic bag, or a couple in larger amounts


banning plastic bags isnt going to do sh!t for the environment, when you put 5 times the amount of plastic into your cloth bags some people swear by... then buy plastic garbage bags and spend money on the problem said in the process...

Cloth diapers are no panacea.

Cleaning them uses vast quantities of our most valuable resource. And most valuable by a huge f'n margin.

20 or 30 years from now people won't even think about using cloth diapers.

That's my prediction. Buy water rights now.

I think the plastic bag bans are stupid. Read that Braindead Island passed one of these laws. Maybe I'm a little libertarian in that there are too many laws. They already have litering laws. Plastic bags are used for waste of all kinds. I reuse most of my plastic bags for bathroom trash can liners if I don't have any of the small size plastic bags. I'm going to throw away some old fish and carcusses in the garbage tonight so the blood doesn't leak and stink up my bargage container. I use plastic bags to clean up dog poop in the yard and put in the garbage as it's better than shoveling it in the compost as fecal matter can be washed in the bay. Also you can throw extra plastic bags in the recycle bin or recycle at stores. Yeah we've used the cloth bags but never seem to have them when going to the grocery. A lot of times I just grab a few goods and decline a bag like tonight.

In the meantime kids remeber to practice safe sex, go use a condom or diaphram or reuse your plastic bag as WHO says gonerrhea is making a come-back!

From AM's Bleeding Heart post.........
Quote:
Every year, tens of thousands of whales, birds, seals, and turtles die from contact with ocean-borne plastic bags. The animals may mistake the bags for food, such as jellyfish, or simply become entangled. Plastic bags can take up to 1,000 years to break down, so even when an animal dies and decays after ingesting a bag, the plastic re-enters the environment, posing a continuing threat to wildlife. While most plastic bags eventually break down into tiny particles, smaller sea creatures may still eat the sand-sized fragments and concentrate toxic chemicals in their bodies.


FK me
So much sensationalized BS in that paragraph alone it makes me want to puke.
the animals may
the plastic bags may
the smaller creatures may

The girl who wrote that crap should be "bagged"........er, double bagged.

Gawd

I'd believe the second part before the first.

I thought the main reason for the bag ban is because they fly through the air and then get tangled in something?

I honestly don't give a [Bleeeeep!]. I'll adapt because I'm not ancient goat.

Given the choice, I'd ban water bottles before bags. Been to a beach lately?

That might be funny, if I thought you were kidding...but you're probably serious.

Fish on...

Todd

P.S. Throw a few six pack holders and cigarette butts in the river while you're there, too, and take a good ol' 'Merican $hit right on the bank while you're at it.
