A petition is afoot to ban plastic bags in Asheville. Properly used, “They catch on tree limbs, block drains, and flow down our rivers headed to larger bodies of water where they endanger wildlife and change the nature of our oceans.” According to admissible partial-logic, the problem is thus not with litter, which is already illegal; but the type of litter.
Personally, I like disposable grocery bags. I have an unnatural fear of some food item breaking or squishing and sitting and moldering in a canvas bag, unnoticed by humans as it attracts rats and other vectors. I use sticky bags for trash, which means I haven’t had to buy Glad or Hefty bags for decades; and I reuse the good ones for carrying stuff. They’re form-fitting with handles – how convenient.
It’s not like I have the luxury of spending Saturdays in the park, releasing bags one-by-one into the air, because I love the sight of witch’s knickers – which I have always thought should be witch’s britches. Do I digress?
