On
Tuesday, March 5, the National Association of Convenient Stores (NACS)
published an article titled “Austin Disposable Plastic Bag Ban Take Effect.” This article is talking about that Austin
gives a policy that retailer’s stores, pharmacies, and any convenient store are
not allowed to use plastic bags with their customers.
Austin should not Ban the plastic bags
because it affects the majority of residents of Austin. Those bags are small compared with the big
ones that the store is selling now or the paper bags that are not resistant enough
to carry all the shopping. In my
personal opinion the plastic bag ban doesn't make sense, the plastic bags with
handle that the stores provide to the shoppers was very healthy because
customers do not expose their food or lose the small products that they have purchased,
the handle plastic bags also were one time use and disposables or you can used
at home in something else like for example in the trash. It is understandable that no one carries
their clothes bags everywhere, or buys the plastic reusable bags that they are
selling. The reusable plastic bags has a
lot of bacteria including the E. coli if it is not appropriate cleaned after load
your bag with produce or meats like fish or chicken. And I am asking what is going to happen with the
big plastic bags that are used to wrap big items like mattresses or those to
dispose the trash or clean the yard.
Austin should become with a better plan that does not affect the economy
or the health of people.
