Cat treats come in stand up zip top plastic bags. To my cat all such bags contain cat treats. He’s carried a party size bag of mnms up a flight of steps and into the bedroom, taken croutons off the counter walked thru 2 rooms and dropped them at my feet. Just had to hide the raisins and walnuts from Nuts2You.

Banning #PlasticBags Works to Limit #Shoreline #Litter, Study Finds
Using crowdsourced data from shore cleanups, researchers found that areas that enacted #plastic bag bans or fees had fewer bags littering their lakes, rivers and beaches than those without them.

Banning #PlasticBags Really Works: #Shoreline #Litter is Slashed by Almost Half Where Policies in Place

A very short ride this morning as I got a flat tire for the first time in more than a year.
Actually the first time with my #gravelbike. It's on tubeless and I use very good tires but this one didn't resist a small sharp piece of glass... And of course, as I am a very intelligent bikerider I didn't have the tools to fix it!! 🤔
Anyway. I walked back home and still enjoyed the blue sky, the birds singing, the little flowers and the white plastic bags living in the green grass.

Street Art
In 2008 Joshua Allen Harris created sculptures out of recycled plastic bags attached to subway gratings in New York City. When the sculpture is at rest, it looks like trash in the street. But as as the subway passes the sculptures come to life.

Plastic bag waste to landfills has actually *increased* in California since the state passed its bag ban 😡
But as the Los Angeles Times points out, this is a fixable problem.
We're supporting Assemblymember Rebecca Bauer-Kahan's AB2236 and Senator Catherine Blakespear's SB1053 to close plastic bag ban loopholes:
