Disposable bottles are viewed as just that - something to be thrown away. I don't like paying extra for anything, but I understand that we'll be up to our eyeballs in used plastic pretty soon.
Reusable bags, deposits on plastic bottles - implement the programs!

I always wondered about that myself. I remember the logic being something about how much water it wastes. Personally, I prefer glass bottles over plastic.
As far as the bags and the tax, I'm not for it as it just makes my groceries that much more expensive and I'll end up buying Glad trash bags.
I wonder, what was the increase in sales for garbage bags?
