Don't Ban Plastic Bags!

The Maryland legislature was supposed to debate a bill today that would ban the use of plastic shopping bags. The bill would require stores to use only paper or reusable bags. Stores giving out plastic bags could be fined $100. I don't know about you, but those plastic bags ARE reusable!!!

Plastic shopping bags are perfect for bathroom trash cans and picking up dog poop. This bill never made it to a vote on the main floor last year, so here's hoping that it dies in committee again this year. And if it makes it to the main floor, I hope it is RESOUNDINGLY voted down.
