Adventures with Dr. Lady Cutie Troublemaker

Life is in flux BIG TIME these days. I want to keep in touch with all of my peeps. The Internet is this beautiful thing. I can move to a brand new city and still stay in easy, near-daily contact with the people I love. When I feel connected to the people in my life that matter, I am unstoppable!

Plastic Bags Are Evil

By Abby at 1:08 pm on Friday, August 10, 2007

I saw on Ellen many months ago that we use a million of those plastic bags (the ones you get everywhere) every minute. They aren’t recyclable, and that’s a bad thing. I’ve been trying to stop taking them whenever possible. Just found some info about how much damage they actually do. Read this, and bring bags with you whenever you can. And when you refuse the bag at the store, watch the clerk and make sure they don’t throw the bag you just refused away. They’re always trying to do that. Pisses me off! Down with crappy plastic bags. They are ruining the earth!

From Salon.com: Plastic bags are killing us: The most ubiquitous consumer item on Earth, the lowly plastic bag is an environmental scourge like none other, sapping the life out of our oceans and thwarting our attempts to recycle it.

I brought a canvas bag to Target the other day and the girl checking me out had absolutely no idea what to do with that. She looked at me like I had three heads or something. It was comical to think back on, but also a sad state of affairs when the stupid horrible bags are the norm…
