Dixon, you just quoted reason.org – an obviously biased website. Why should anyone believe that stat? Anyway, the purpose of the ban is not to replace plastic with paper bags, the purpose is to discourage throw-away consumption that harms us all in the long term, particularly younger folks who’ll have to deal with our wasteful generation.. This is why there is a proposed 5 cent fee being placed on paper bags.

Mayor Adams is spending so much time on non-issues. Why doesn't he spend time worrying about things that important to the majority instead of hand-picking special interest concerns? This article was great: http://www.oregonlive.com/opinion/index.ssf/2010/07/ban_plastic_bags_not_so_fast.html

Like Portland needs its mayor involved with something like this, with all the problems he's already driven us into. An excerpt from http://reason.org/news/show/1003006.html: One hundred million new plastic grocery bags require the total energy equivalent of approximately 8300 barrels of oil for extraction of the raw materials, through manufacturing, transport, use and curbside collection of the bags.... Manufacturing 100 million paper bags with one-third post-consumer recycled content requires petroleum energy inputs equivalent to approximately 15,100 barrels of oil plus additional inputs from other energy sources including hydroelectric power, nuclear energy and wood waste. Elect anybody but adams for mayor next time, people, please. This guy is a completely sleazy, lying, narcissistic buffoon who has contemptuously disavowed himself from his constituency since Day 1 and has made this city a worse place to live in every aspect. Disgusting example of humanity.
