No Bags

If you shop in any New Jersey store, paper and plastic bags are out the door. Single-use bags won't be distributed anymore. That's the new rule ubiquitously as of late. A new law was enacted by the governor of the state. Bring your own bags and boxes is what they will say. That has caused some problems with many people today. I am so glad I did not throw my bags away.

I have always thought it so wasteful to give out bags we only used once while shopping. I recycle all of mine. England has been doing this for a very long time. I think it is great for the environment. I always try to take a few more bags in the store than I think I will need because I always need them. I like that this poem brings attention to this new law.

Same here Robert. I saw and Heard one lady in WalMart loudly complaining and saying she wanted a paper bag for her items please. She was quite serious about it too. Walmart has reusable bags for sale but she didn't want to pay for one. I have lots of bags here at home to use when I shop. Now if I could just remember to bring them with me when I shop. lol Good write Robert. God Bless, JB
