didn't read the thread, but I can say it's a MAJOR fail
we re-use the plastic bags for garbage.. so unless they come up with a better alternative for using as garbage bags, I'll still be using them.
but I started re-using the bags for grocceries as well, unless they brake from the first use |

i'm just wondering how many people will actually stop buying plastic bags and if this will law will actually change the way people shop
probably not, the only difference now is that people will be paying 5 cents per bag. |

Of course it's a profit-scheme being advertised as an "environmentally-friendly" strategy. This isn't exactly big news. What's funny though, is how some of you are making a big deal out of it because now you're charged a WHOLE 5 CENTS per bag. Not to mention that most shopping bags are typically undersized for a regular garbage can. Boo-ing-hoo 
Spoiled brats :rolleyes: |

| Its the principle number one... number two it will lead to even more and more laws and rules and charges. As i said, coming soon the same flawed logic applied to water bottles, fast food containers, coffee cups... the list goes on |

um it's NOT because it's $0.05 now, but it's because they are "covering" it up as a green move :rolleyes: |

The principle is that you pay for stuff you consume. |

but we did, its not like you could go to a grocery and just pick up the bags and leave, you had to buy stuff, and those bags were provided as a service. |

My NoFrills sells them via their 25c shopping cart dispensers. Unfortunately, I have no need for one at home.
On another note, I can't use the cloth bags as a garbage recepticle under my kitchen sink. I fid it environmentally disturbing, that I would need to buy separate garbage bags instead of doing my job on this earth by recycling grocery bags. |
