I think the question should be more specific such as "plastic shopping bags" fruit, bread, frozen veggies, and lots of other things come to us in plastic bags. Eliminating the shopping bags is realistic at this time. All plastic bags is not. |

We should research what we're doing. Are plastic bags a true threat to our environment? Banning plastic bags may only increase the sale and production of thicker, larger plastic bags to line our garbage cans. We should be focusing more strongly on practising, promoting and incentives for using the fabric bags for our groceries thus REDUCING the amount of plastic bags. |

Use bread bags for doggie scooping bags, and compost your wet garbage. Problem solved. |

Kenora, Kenora, thought you were growing,
KMTS gone, KPS going.
Town Island driftin',
Norman Park liftin',
What kind of seeds are you sowing?
Prune our roots, make us slim,
Suppose our future needs a trim?
Ban bags? Why not?
We haven't got,
Anything to put in 'em! |

I believe that they should ban those white grocery bags only. They are the real culprits that wind up tangled on tree branches and such, on, or near any landfill, creating an ecological eyesore for all to see! |

First define plastic bags. Does that mean garbage bags? If not, then how about the bags that we reuse from the stores to put in our waste cans?
Dumb idea

Yes. They are so destructive to the environment that they should be banned. You can purchase decomposable bags for dog poop. I do recognize that lower incomes utilize these bags so maybe people could donate garbage bag for this cause. I know I would be willing. |

We need bags to put our wet garbage in because some people can't afford to buy from the stores. Also people use them to pick up their doggie doo. |

I say yes ,ban the things! Look around people they are everywhere. We should treat them like they are deer or dogs and just say no! |
