Re: “...it ain't about the bags, or pollution or the environment. It's about the money.”

You're wrong. It's about CREATING JOBS. Every time I toss a plastic bag out the window, I'm helping to feed some poor starving Illegal. It makes me feel all warm inside.

I *do* need to be sure that it's a grocery bag, though. Otherwise, littering is an ethical breach, creating a mess that I haven't paid someone to clean up.

...it ain't about the bags, or pollution or the environment. It's about the money. Do you have any idea how many plastic bags most grocery stores go thru in a day?

Each year the United States uses 30 billion plastic and 10 billion paper grocery bags, requiring approximately 14 million trees and 12 million barrels of oil.

...at a dime each, that's a helluva lot of money.
