Hop on the bag wagon

    Plastic bags are no mas' in California as of Tuesday.
    That's pretty cool, if you ask me.
    The ban, which is the first statewide ban of it's kind, is both awesome and long overdue. Where some see great progress, I see awful initiative.
    Since my brain could comprehend anything worth comprehending, I have known the world is a messy place. At the moment, I mean that literally. There is a lot of garbage everywhere. And it's because of the global obsession (the U.S. leading the pack) with disposable products. We're lazy.
    So lazy, that it took over 15 years of knowing a massive plastic island is lingering between Asia and California before such a law was passed. And I'm not mentioning all of that trash on the side of roads and whatnot.
    That's weak. But at least it's happening. I'm trying to be optimistic, but the effort is so astonishingly delayed I almost want to laugh.
    We are past the point of cleaning up the world, but my negativity cannot take away the fact that something is being done. Something. So I thought it was worth mentioning.
