Nov 19, 2008 - Please don't take my plastic bags away. I not only use them for garbage, but to carry my lunch to work, to segregate my gym clothing in my gym bag, to carry vegetable waste to my composter. I use them over and over for reasons too many to list here.

Nov 19, 2008 - That was a pretty good documentary, and concise.

Nov 19, 2008 - ?? um landfill by definition is a land they FILL with trash. They do burn trash but a lot of bags still go to landfills. (Although hey now filter the harmful chemicals that come from burning garbage now so it has less of an impact on the ecosystem. that might be an early alternative to fuel problems until we get some more solar or wind stuff going on.)

Nov 19, 2008 - noone one should care about war and money? I hope you are kidding.

Nov 19, 2008 - The point I was trying to convay to say the economy and war are relativly trivial to our long term survival. The reason why i say this is Since day one of animal life theres been "war" hell animals kill each other every day of their lives; the only difference is they have a good reason. The reason I find economics to be trivial is it's not required for survival. A well functioning ecosystem is however is, and when it finally reaches a certian point it's all down hill from there.

Nov 19, 2008 - there's one flaw in this idea of people thinking we should care more about, the earth and stuff more than war or money, it's the fact that millions of people just love war, and being assholes, people also think that if we stop fighting in iraq, theyll stop to( iraq, middle east etc.) but the reason for this war is the fact that they came to our turf and destroyed the twin towers... -_-... im not saying i want to fight but they do, and we can't just let them freely attack us

bloodbath400 Says:

Nov 19, 2008 - What i'm saying is that we should finish the war, so that it doesn't overshadow the earths environment, cuz if we stop now, there just gonna come and attack us again, guess what, were going to retaliate again, and it'll be a second iraq war.

jesusandstuff Says:

Nov 19, 2008 - For us war is more than just two animals fighting over something. We have enough nuclear misslies to destroy the world TEN times over! So yes war is FAR from being "trivial" war can have a huge effect on the ecosystem anyway.

jesusandstuff Says:

Nov 19, 2008 - Econimics has its ups and downs and that is just the standard pattern. but it is also changing all the time. If econmics are bad then some people won't survival anyway. I'm not saying the ecosystem is trivial, it is far up on our list of issues, but if we don't look at war and he econmy aswell, then that is just as bad for humanity's survival

Nov 20, 2008 - This is why most of the rest of America laughs hysterically at the feel-good nonsense the loons in San Fran come up with all the time. Please don't stop. Laughing is good for our health.

Nov 20, 2008 - ★★★★★ VIDEO!

utoobsta Says:

Nov 22, 2008 - I like how this video shows different opinions. The Grocer had a very good point about SF not having a lot of grocery stores. I think it is best to use peer pressure and education first before bans. Although, there are a lot of immigrants in California, who bring along their bad habits of littering. It would help a lot, if their community leaders got them on board as well.

Nov 24, 2008 - why not use bags made of recycled paper? would that not work? just asking

cbills1 Says:

Nov 24, 2008 - I know this is a good start but it's too small. What's inside all the bags we bring home from the market? Single-use packaging! There needs to be a comprehensive change in the delivery system of goods...more options to refill containers at the market and then we could actually make a difference.

rkoharchik Says:

Nov 26, 2008 - This is the second war in Iraq. Don't forget the Gulf. I just find it amazing, though, how this bandwagon effect works. Did anyone care about the effects of plastic bags ten years ago? Hardly. We've shifted focus from what really matters in maintaining our lives in the short term. It just seems that our priorities are far too messed up.

Nov 28, 2008 - watch?v=MnHLleVjezA The inside job of 9-11 has been in our face all this time.You just have to focus in on the collapse. No way that is pancaking.. pancaking doesnt instantly turn concrete to dust

9aspengold5 Says:

Nov 30, 2008 - that is a great idea. Paper will decompose but plastic does not.

9aspengold5 Says:

Nov 30, 2008 - It may be small, but it is a step in a good direction. The FDA has a lot to do with individual packaging- hygiene for one. One small step by every individual is better than none. Changes and improvements do not happen overnight.

Dec 4, 2008 - that so good, i think we have to used paper bags, to decrease garbage (well papers can be recycle) thats why:) you go man! tumbs up for you! this video will help tons of people!!!

cactusjanice Says:

Dec 6, 2008 - LOL please, don't blame this problem on the immigrants. I find it funny that people need to be told to re-use their grocery bags because my immigrant family has been doing that for the entire 25 years they've been in this country. Immigrants probably leave much smaller carbon footprints than native-born Americans because they didn't grow up in a culture of consumption and are used to preserving everything they have.

Dec 6, 2008 - yeah sure.... then do you forget about the other populations. Narrow minded
