tree huggers must be going ballistic here. after fighting seemingly forever to ban single use plastic bags in favor of those reusable recycled ones (you know the reusable ones people put on their filth infested floors/counters and such at home, then bring back to plunk on a supermarket checkout) they have now banned those disgusting germ ridden bags and brought clean, sanitary single use plastc bags back. by law.

they should of thought about how filthy most people are before all that reuseable bag shit was law but treehuggers and such arent really known for thinking things through.

of course proper disposal is a must too. stupid is stupid i must admit.

we use ours to bag cat poo (among other things) and dispose of properly in the trash.

you seem to be arguing that the over production of plastics is not a problem, and sure there is some reuse of plastics that go on, but even if you use them a few times, there still ends up being a shitload of them and you can only use them so much before they become soiled, torn or even somewhat denigrating from likely poor quality, anyhow.

Surely, there was good intentions behind some of the reuse movement but surely that reuse does not make very much sense in times of the virus and times in which we need to be more careful about germs.

Of course, during regular times, germ exposure will generally make us stronger at least until we get really old then we cannot tolerate germs as much, but in normal times, we should be a bit questioning of germ phobic people who are overly cleaning and some times causing their own issues, similar to the overuse of antibiotics for every little thing and then not using the full course of treatment.

We can concede that these are not normal times, when trying to temper the impact of a virus... so a lot of the normal rules might have to be changed and even the justifications are going to need to be reconsidered, at the least... does not mean that the old rules were wrong, just that there is a specific ongoing emergency problematic situation that is still in progress, sad as that may be...
