Plastic Bags Banned in Toronto

Quote:Mayor Rob Ford, who predicted the ban will face a legal challenge, had asked city council to scrap Toronto’s contentious five-cent levy for plastic shopping bags. Council supported the mayor and voted to scrap the tax – but then also agreed with a last-minute motion to ban bags outright, beginning Jan. 1.

“It is not a smart move by council to ban plastic bags,” Mr. Ford said after vote. “I don’t think it is going to hold up in court. You can’t tell people they can’t give out plastic bags. To me it’s ludicrous.”

its because he opened the debate about the damn 5cents! if he had shut his mouth this would not have happened!

5 cents is valuable to a a sector of our population !

as much as plastic bags are a nice convenience and i use them as little as possible.......we now do all our shopping with fabric reuseable bags which i put in the laundry every couple of weeks,.....but i do use plastics for garbage.

they are choking our earth to death  ad:

look at guyana.....plastic and styrofoam has been major culprits in the recent floodings.

would it be so bad to move to paperbags?
i know.....more expensive

but i really like the ones you get at some of the stores.....like La Senza and shoppers cosmetic counter.

La Senza is well known for their nice shopping bags  :blank:

eh heh.....i go there just for their shopping bags!!  :wink: ::lol::

They have very well designed Bloomers .  :wink:

including Split crotch ones...

i hope you enjoy shopping for them
