I'd consider marking your words, but I don't want to draw on my monitor.

I hope you're right ... I'd like to see it happen sooner though.

There is a tree in my neighborhood that has 3 plastic bags in it. It's like the kite-eating tree in Charlie Brown, 'cept this tree eats plastic bags. Well, I hope it eats them anyway. I hate seeing them just hanging there.

Here's the plastic bag eating giraffe: http://www.woostercollective.com/2006/02/woosters_how_to_4_mark_jenkins_how_to_ma.html

Depending on how you read my previous comment, it could sound like the plastic bag is eating the giraffe

bamboo!

Then how will we throw away our Styrofoam cups?

*pWn3d*

lol near Marco!

Well, if Tribune Company still continues to support the styrofoam industry, styrofoam will never die. Crimey! They might as well use bottled water for its water dispensers. Oh wait, they still do!

here in San Francisco its already illegal for grocery stores to use plastic bags, you have to get paper.

Or you can use some kind of permanent/reuseable bag, JOHLOH.

Illinois finally went smoke-free. I hope that can start the ball rolling on more improvements for quality of life, like being plastic bag-free. Hopefully it won't take 10 years and hopefully it won't take doing it one state or country or continent at a time to get the job of being a plastic bag-free world done.

yes tom! We shall get this ball rolling one person at a time. That's exactly what it takes!

I'm doing my part to cut down on plastic bag usage.

Sparx! rock!
