Good news about bad bags

Every one who has felt guilty at the market, picking out environmentally responsible products and nice organic vegetables, and then, having forgotten one’s own embossed canvas bag, having to choose between “paper or plastic?” will be happy to hear this news.
Our local garbage provider, Sonoma Garbage, is now willing to accept those plastic bags in the regular blue recycling bin. “This,” said mayor Joanne Sanders, “is a really great thing. You know,” she said, “those things just multiply like rabbits in your house, and pretty soon you just have a bunch of them, and you don’t know what to do with them, and we all know, they’re going to end up in the garbage.” Now we can happily put them into the recycling and know that our storage spaces and the environment will be the better for it.
There are some important guidelines to follow, when setting your plastic bag collection out to be recycled. First, they should be clean and dry. Then, they should be all stuffed into one bag – or as many as possible into one bag, and then as many as possible into a second, and third, depending on how many you have – and the bags should be tied so that the many little bags inside do not escape. Then place them in the blue bin where, with an environmentally sound conscience, you can bid them goodbye.
