Biden wants to bring back the Paris catastrophe and Mass AG Maura Healy is looking for paid guns to sue people into compliance. So excuse this interruption in COVID and Election Chaos coverage for a special message about thin-film plastic shopping bags. Warning: Libs will be Livid!

July 1st Vermont Law Makes New Hampshire Unique in all of New England (Again!)
Reusable Grocery bags have a larger carbon footprint than thin-film plastic bags, but Greens demand we switch. They also spread deadly diseases and bacteria from food (outside the current hysteria I’ve dubbed virus-socialism). All of which Vermont has decided to ignore.
Your Plastic Bag “BANK” Authorized by State Government
by Skip
In a literal sense (and no small amount of tongue-in-cheek), if you have to pay for them you’ve got a “bank” of bags. It adds up! And he could make money by standing in front of the store’s entrance and go “Psst – 10 bags for 4 cents each, a 20% discount from Big Bags!”
So kids, what did we learn from Thursday’s House Session (01/09/20)?
by Judy Aron

Recent research by the Ministry of Environment and Food in Denmark, published by the DEPA (Denmark Environmental Protection Agency), – Executive summary in English begins on page 13 – reinforces claims I’ve made here for years. The replacement for plastic shopping bags are worse for the environment.
Which is the carrier bag providing the lowest environmental impacts?
