As previously noted in an earlier posting, plastic bags are an environmental scourge. Nothing can illustrate the point more than candid pictures of plastic bags littering the streets and trees of New York City. ![]() What starts off as a seemingly innocuous plastic bag ends up... ![]() high up in a tree, ![]() stuck on a fence near old brownstone houses, ![]() carelessly strewn on the sidewalk, ![]() caught in some bushes in Central Park, ![]() floating in a tree near multi-million dollar homes on Central Park West, ![]() hanging around in branches, ![]() multiplying on trees meant to beautify,
![]() blowing around the streets, ![]() and just blighting the view. keeping the earth ever green

I would next focus on what happens after that....when the bag meets the wildlife...show dead birds or fish or give facts on plastic in the oceans....pretty cool though the "ubiquitous bag" know no boundaries
Recycler, composter, bicyclist, etc.
Now I know why I have been able to buy for nearly free in resale stores (like 50 cents), very nice cloth shopping or carrying bags. I have found unused cloth bags just sitting at the curbside with the rest of the garbage. Too many people obviously don't appreciate the idea of re-use. And general uncivility and mindlessness. Maybe we should be surprised there are not more plastic bags (and other litter) floating around as a kind of defecatory tribute to the content of the shit that must be clogging their minds. --Steve (in Milwaukee)
