The bags are often banned because a lot of people are slobs. I don't
know why so many are tossed like that as they can be recycled, reused,
repurposed. Every bag we get from the store is used at least one more
time before being properly disposed of.

OMG I can't believe the nit picking over this. It was said to be a
little humorous about the bagging thread and now every word is being
scrutinized to determine what the meaning of "is" is.

Most people go to the farmer's market and buy a few items and bag it.
Makes it easy to carry most things, but at RFC you have to conform to
strict standards of transport. Maybe Jill should wear cargo pants with
the big pockets.

I find that hard to believe. I have seen many plastic bags in trees.
They sometimes get away, perhaps blown out of a garbage can or recycling
bin, or sucked out an open car window. Then the wind dumps them in a
tree. They may or may not eventually disintegrate enough to fall down
or get blown out.

I don't know how many are the result of slobs throwing them out or how
many escaped from garbage cans and other receptacles. The worst pace
around here for plastic bags in trees is around the garbage dump. The
operators of the site spend a lot of money and energy to clean up the
bags that blow out of the dump. I am sure we have all had incidents
were we opened a car window on a highway and some paper or loose bags
flew out the window. I can't tell you how many times I have seen
plastic bags, styrofoam and other light objects strewn all over a
neighbourhood after high winds blew them out of trash cans and recycling
bins.

I don't think Jill was the issue her. It was someone else who was so
upset about someone trying to put her purchase into a bag.

Lighten up, Ed. I thought it was obvious that I was joking her as she's
taken it so personally. She did say that she wouldn't shop where they
didn't bag. She could have ended this days ago just by not responding
to a few posts. In this respect, she's just like Julie responding to
every thing and continuing the issue. She's picked on Julie so much, she
seems to be turning into Julie of the East. ;-D

Yes, that's the problem! I'm not wearing the right clothing. My

This must be a Canada thing? Silliest thing I've ever heard. No plastic
bags in my area ever that I've noticed and you two talk like it's a
plague. And everywhere in the UK too? plastic bags in trees. LOL

Huh. Canada must be a really strange place. I have never seen plastic
bags blown up in trees.

Speak for yourself. I have never had an incident where anything flew
out an open car window. My car is not filled with "litter" so there's
nothing to go blowing out the windows when they are down.

I didn't say it is a plague. I will say that it happens often enough
that it never happens in your personal Bothell.

I have a better idea. Send us pictures of all the trees for a 50 mile
radius of you so we can be sure it never happens there. It may interest
you to know that it happens often enough that there is a FaceBook page
about it and a number of web sites.

A very nice bag, would work well for carrying ones hobby supplies. But
filled with groceries it may be kind of heavy to lug. I have some of
those plastic tote baskets they have at markets, got mine from TSS
stores when they closed, makes great vegetable lugs as I can hose them
off before bringing them in.

I think it's a bad omen for a female to have just one eggplant, should

I never have nearly enough from shopping, I by those plastic bags in
cartons of 1,000 at BJs, usually $9, and they are better quality than
typical stupidmarket bags. The carton says "T Shirt Bags", I guess
they do look kinda like a t shirt.

I hang some on my vegetable garden fence, when they flap in the breeze
they make a loud noise, helps scare the critters away.

Everywhere, Gary. I see them in Michigan. My own trees have had them.

Some of these images are obviously trees decorated using plastic bags,
but some of them are clearly "in the wild":

I save the plastic bags that have holes, when I have a bunch I slice
off the neck of a 2 litter plastic soda bottle and stuff the damaged
bags in, then it goes in the deposit machine and the bags are shredded
along with the bottle... and I still get my nickel. That shredded
plastic is used to make Polar Fleece and other synthetic fabrics.
Mostly I like those plastic bags shredded because flying about loose
they trap critters.... animals smell food in the bags, stick their
heads in and can't get them off, they sufficate or starve to death. I
read about a company that's making those plastic six pack holders out
of a water soluable material that disolves once wet, a few minutes of
rain and it turns to mush. Before I toss any plastic out I shred it
to bits with scissors or tin snips, like those plastic tubs for
produce, and especially plastic mayo jars, critters force their heads
in and can't get out.

Jill clearly mentioned buying other items besides the eggplant.
I'm sure had she refused the bag they would not have bagged.

I have at least a hundred of those litter buckets living in my barn,
they come in handy for all sorts of chores, and they nest so take
little room.... they are very good for hauling water to distant plants
during a dry spell, I load up twenty in my cart and haul them by
tractor. The litter pans in my car are new, never used for litter. I
have several brand new never used cat litter pans stored in my
basement, a few sizes, even tiny ones for kittens. I not an hour ago
brought in two litter buckets filled with cucumbers. I leave a few of
those buckets in my garden, they are also good for tossing in stones
and then lugging them to be dumped elsewhere. I always leave those
empty buckets lying on their side so small critters can't fall in.

No, I didn't say everywhere in the UK, I quoted one particular bus
trip from Heathrow to Cirencester, not all of it was highway. I could
mention that while in Gatlinburg, Tenn. I was disappointed to see bags
in trees, can it be you're not noticing?

I did a quick search through my pics but there are too damned many - I
know I took one to show the super at the time, then I started taking
one after every storm and the effect it had until the spring when he
had made a gizmo that enabled him to grab it down.

Yes, I am if you mean me. I used cloth diapers, so did my daughters
and so are my granddaughters, off hand it was only my DIL who didn't.

Repeat, try Gatlinburg, such a pity as everything else was very
scenic. Maybe you don't notice such things?

That depends, years ago my daughter was on one of the bridges over the
harbour when my granddaughters 'blankie' blew out. When the car
arrived at the toll the man asked my daughter what was up with my
granddaughter, she explained half way over blankie had gone out the
window. "Pull over there' he says, calls the cop car and it speeds
off back over the bridge. It hadn't blown over the side of the bridge
and the cop came back proud as punch and they presented it back to
her! Very nice except my daughter had not been sorry to see it go,
it really was time

That's because you're always looking at the ground, hoping to find a
coin.

I've never been to Gatlinburg and I tend to notice scenery. I simply
have never seen plastic bags in trees. Sorry!

I brought my own bag. The guy weighed the items I bought and put them
in the bag. Even if I hadn't, he had bags available. I really have NO
idea why the idea of items being put into bags is such a bone of contention.

Poor Ken, the entire point of his post was lost. He got home without
abut $5 worth of items because there wasn't anyone to help him put his
items in bags. And some sort of funky turntable checkout system (which,
BTW, was NOT an automated checkout). I suggested he call the store to
complain. That was his question. The post was not about bags.
