Walmart ditching plastic bags.......

Huge corporate giant....Walmart experiments with going green by banning plastic bags at three of their California stores. They are offering reusable bags for their customer's to purchase in place of the disposable plastic bags. The plastic bag ban experiment comes after the proposal of assembly bill, AB1998. California is on the verge of a total ban on disposable plastic grocery bags, and a fee on paper bags. If passed this bill would be effective July 2011 but Walmart thought they would do a little test run of their own. Judging from the comments on The Sacramento's Bee's report consumers are not digging the new change. Some of the comments are just hilarious to me. Come on people.... how hard is it to bring your own bags to the grocery store with you or maybe it's that you just can't fathom spending the 15 cents a bag for a reusable bag? which by the way is the best price I've seen so far for a reusable bag. The reaction from these Walmart customer's just really reiterates how lazy and spoiled we as a society have become. Isn't it obvious to everyone now that our old habits are destroying our planet and it's time for all of us to step up and do what we can?
