They could actually make a profit on it, selling reusable bags for $0.25 each. I think the whole idea of recycling the bags is foolish, especially at the store where you got the bags. It's mind blowing to watch people bring in a pile of bags, place them in the recycle bin and then get new bags when they checkout. Why not just reuse the bags they just placed in the recycling bin??? It would save on the entire recycling loop... collection, transportation, reprocessing etc, etc etc...

But at least this is a step in the right direction. First, LA bans the plastic bag: then it bans the automobile. (Nah! I must be dreaming...) Recycling and pollution issues take many different forms.
