"Oregon officially bans ALL PLASTIC BAGS,SOLD AT ALL RETAIL AND WHOLESALE OUTLETS. STATE CONDEMNED TO CHOP DOWN THOUSANDS OF TREES,TO FULFILL ORDERS FOR PAPER BAGS,MILLIONS OF THEM. All packaging will cost more." Is this the "ecology state"?So,now the lumber co.s.have excuse, to chop down thousands of trees,to make millions of required paper bags? How wonderful of the "environmental" (read:Crazy) governor and legislature,to pay off the lumber industry,which they have bribes from!! Ain;t America wonderful? We've got bribes down,now we just need dictators like everyone else.Well, we have that, almost.Pretty much. :)

"These ladies,with their green and ruffled skirts, sit peacefully amid the chaos of the world.
And to sit under their boughs, inhaling ancient perfume, they grace man with the final peace..
No man may carve a figurine of jade, so like the very first of all their race.
No artist truly catch their shape,their hue,
Their scent and texture,or their every new.
My hand and brush pale undeneath their gaze,
My art can never touch their like.
They shame me with their royal stance;
Perhaps I better go,and take a hike."

Yes,and I do not have any mutual funds in trees in the US. We all use our grocery plastic bags for many things, besides,the state is forcing this on us,we have no choice, which is why everyone is so mad.Plus, we do not want all those trees cut down. Oregon and western OR does that all the time; socialism,and forcing us to do stuff. It would be nice to live in the USA, and avoid living in Siberia.

Hey, heard of sustainable forestry? You do realise that plastic is made from oil, right?

oh noes, I was thinking about taking a train to oregon to see the trees ;_;
The closest I've been is northern california, and they had a lot of trees there.

The druids left us Stonehenge, the Egyptians left us the Sphynx and the pyramids, the Greeks left us the Acropolis...when future archaeologists (assumedly from other planets , since earth will be a landfill by then) our society's legacy to posterity will be plastic water bottles, plastic grocery bags, and disposeable diapers...

I admit, we homo sapiens have a big problem;unlike the other species,we transform material into objects,substance,that cannot degrade back into nature. I think we're the only species that does that, so I suppose the problem with human beings is they are advanced,and intelligent, enough just to make a bunch of junk,but not advanced enough to go any further than that.That makes us a very limited, not-evolving-greater species,and the only way we'll survive,is to evolve past this bad plane. I do not see us doing this,at this point. (science fiction novel starting here,where all the normal humans die out,Ice Ages, ect.,and only small tiny groups of very intelligent, eco-thrifty ones survive. But, I would have trouble even making that credible,in a sci fi story.Chances are,all the huge amt.of litterers,and plastic-makers will kill off all the eco-thrifty ones, and junk the planet anyhow.) So, yes, we do want to stop trashing the planet;when it's unliveable here,there will be no more us. But with this type of unco-operative human population, not gonna happen.)
