    How hard was that? People lived fine before plastic bags. I want to see the end of all single-use plastics outside of a medical setting.

      I’m old enough to remember when plastic bags became available in grocery stores. People didn’t trust them, so they had displays at the entrances showing the bags holding heavy things, like several two liter soda bottles. They pushed so hard for plastic, saying that it would save the environment, and now they’re pushing even harder saying it’ll destroy the environment.
