Th...Thanks for taking the time to comment, Gerard. The problem with the bags is that they are made out of petroleum and end up in landfills or the oceans, where they break down into toxic chemicals.<BR/><BR/>The new bags in SF will be made out of cornstarch and can be composted.<BR/><BR/>For dog purposes, I highly recommend a Doggie Dooly for keeping your pet's waste out of the landfill. City dwellers can check out the new biodegradable dog waste bags to use when they take their pets for walks on city streets. <BR/><BR/>Petstreetmall.com has 'em both with plenty of information about proper use, etc. You can search around for deals, I'm sure.Village Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10299021164466991478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33029962.post-62930114848998582062007-04-01T21:28:00.000-05:002007-04-01T21:28:00.000-05:00Sounds like SF board of governors has been fooled ...Sounds like SF board of governors has been fooled by the huge amount of misinformation on plastic shopping bags circulating on the web. Nobody wants to see plastic bags in litter - but that is not the fault of the bags - but the litterer. <BR/><BR/>I find my shopping bags are very useful the second time around. As bin liners and when taking the dog for a walk. it sounds like SF residents will have to purchase other bags for these ands other useful purposes.<BR/><BR/>Gerard, Sydney, AustraliaGerardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05865059826962860722noreply@blogger.com
