This morning's Vancouver Sun says Plastic bags could be a thing of the past and we'd better start preparing for it by getting ourselves a cloth shopping bag, or a back-pack, or maybe both. Seems reasonable to me. I'm sure I'm not the only one who is getting tired of those plastic bags multiplying in another bag under the sink, or wherever. And if you live near or in a high-rise apartment building, you're probably also tired of seeing those damned bags hanging from the nearby trees, or blowing half a block away into your neighbour's yard. They're a curse. Let's get rid of the damned things.
