California outlaws plastic bags

It's a reuse. As Jack Johnson says, "You gotta learn to reduce, reuse, recycle."

Picking up dog poop in plastic means it's now encapsulated for longer lasting freshness.

I was honestly stopped in a 10 minute lane closure with Pilot Truck.....(scouts honor)

I'm certainly no tree hugger, but it seems that every product made should have a disposal plan that is sustainable, otherwise don't allow it.

plastic bags are recyclable, you can also use them to line your boots in the winter, pack your lunch in, line your small garbage cans in the house, use them for insulation in hippy homes, bury your dead gerbil in one, use them for packing material, pick up dog poop with them, arts and crafts projects, home organization, use them for travel as your luggage... i think they are pretty sustainable

Everyone of those examples is another use but the plastic bag will eventually end up in the trash and not be "recycled".Recycled plastic gets ground up and reused as plastic to make new products.

No...you can recycle it after several of those reuses. Even the dog poop if it's going to a self sorting facility (although the employees there may not enjoy it)

not worth my time. FWIW, I don't pick up poop in the yard. Let the kids cutting through my yard stomp in it. I don't care. If it gets to be too much, I use a shovel and throw it in the woods.
