My wife and I bought groceries Saturday, and I went out to our vehicle as she finished and paid. Our items were in “old school” paper bags. I wonder if this was temporary, or part of a more permanent trend? Mind you, we live out in the middle of, “Bum (Copulation)” Georgia - hardly a socially “cutting edge” place.
I've visited Kenya, a beautiful country, if you can ignore all the trash everywhere. I asked why it is so. The answer: there are no trash receptacles, and even if there were, there are no trucks to empty them, and even if there were trucks, there are no landfills to dump it. However, the Kenyan government has banned plastic shopping bags. There is no movement, that I'm aware of, to establish landfills and such.

Bit of a cart-before-the-horse approach, no?
