Oh yes indeed. She wants to impose her morality on Santa Cruz County and make it a Bag-Free Zone:
For the most part, complaints about a ban on plastic bags come from three constituencies: dog owners that don't want to pay for puppy poo bags, grannies that reuse their CVS bags as garbage can liners and the American Chemistry Council, a.k.a. Big Plastic.
But as Santa Cruz County and all of its cities move forward with ordinances that would ban plastic and charge 10 cents for paper bags, officials in each jurisdiction are anticipating a call from attorney Stephen Joseph, who is suing cities and counties across the state that have banned single-use plastic bags.
According to his website, www.SaveThePlasticBag.com, Joseph is not getting any money from plastic bag manufacturers. In fact, he's claiming the mantle of eco-warrior. According to his site, banning plastic bags "would result in a major increase in greenhouse gas emissions," because "it would result in a switch to paper bags, which would be worse for the environment."
He is absolutely right. Go to the site and learn more.
Save the oppressed bags! From Gaia!
Or from the evil people who claim to be speaking in Her name!
Here in Iowa, where they still ask, "Is plastic OK?" when bagging your groceries, I always respond with, "Plastic is great! I prefer plastic! I LOVE plastic!" The bagger usually looks at me a little funny, but it's worth it to watch the Greenie Weenies' heads explode.

I always demand plastic, as I walk to the store and it's a long walk home. Paper bags suck in many ways.
And of course Coco also loves the plastic bags, especially when she hears me grab one -- because it means it might be time to go for a walk.
