Truth is we want to believe "nobody" listens to him, a lot of people listen to him. That's why we are where we are. I saw a group of 60-70 year olds protesting his bullshit by my house today (small mountain town) and it was awesome. Granted, I live in California but it's a majority red area and I think even those that did listen to him are starting to actually hear him. And they're not ok with it, he won't succeed ultimately. There's hope here yet.
Damn I haven't heard about that yet. I think that's good news though, honestly we don't need these plastic bags. Even at $0.10 each I have a cabinet full of them. I use them as often as I remember to but I def have more than necessary. I already pay the same for plastic bottles, cans, etc... although I get my money back on those when I recycle, as you know. Paper bags just seem easy more sustainable.
Shove it up your ass.
And mine.
