Re: (Gazette, April 19)

Oh, here we go again.

Just as stupid, irresponsible people are the root cause of traffic mayhem on the Malahat, the same kinds of humans are behind all that harm being done by plastic bags.

Never mind that testing years ago showed multi-use plastic bags B次元官网网址� the ones now favoured by many shoppers as a replacement for single-use bags B次元官网网址� are almost certainly more contaminated with microbial nasties than the single-use bags, go ahead and ban single-use bags.

Just like the Malahat B次元官网网址渟olutionB次元官网网址� of making it wider and then discovering that speeding dolts are now driving even faster. Never mind that a single decomposable bag in a mixture of soft plastic bags heading for recycling will ruin the entire batch, go ahead and advocate for decomposable bags.

If weB次元官网网址檙e going to ban bags, letB次元官网网址檚 also ban cars. The problem is humans who donB次元官网网址檛 give a damn. How about we tackle that problem and see how many other problems diminish or vanish.
