Our recycle guys no longer take glass, it goes in the rubbish or you go to recycle jail.
Won't recycle plastic bags either, but at least around here they are free.
They make great liners for small waste baskets like in the bedroom and bathroom...

Recently at a non-grocery store I purchased several items. The young cashier asked me if I would like a bag for the items (plastic of course). I answered yes and she looked at me like I just committed a felony. I guess "yes" was the wrong answer.

Won't take one anywhere near that big to get the job done. Even the right comet will do, and nobody will care what he Kardashians are wearing on their collective fat asses.

Yeah but if the comet happens to hit her on the ass, there's a good chance it will bounce back into space and we'll all be okay!

Bad attitude, if they don't want the answer, they shouldn't ask the question! (she needs to work someplace without bags)!

The problem is the bags are readily discarded and blow all over town
There is a video with Victor Vescovo in his submarine down in Marianas Trench to see a supermarket plastic bag float by. (7 miles down!)

I'm old enough to remember glass. Glass bottle for just about everything. Paper gags for groceries. And when $20 filleed two shopping carts with food.
That's OLD!!!

I am often amused at the constant push to suppress the production of crude in the name of first, Global Warming, and now Climate Change. There are well over 6,000 items that are made from petroleum and carbon is among the most common element on earth.
Pollution is bad...very, very bad for the environment regardless of what type it is for mankind can pollute far faster than Mother Nature can heal. Fresh water and sanitation are ever so important to the quality of all life for when they are compromised it becomes a breeding ground for disease.

The reason plastic bags are so common is that the weight of material used to make a one-gallon bottle would make hundreds of plastic grocery bags and would cost far, far less than the bottle too. It will require about 50 times the energy to produce the bottle vs a similar weight of bags too. Plastic grocery bags are far less expensive with a much smaller carbon foot print than that bottle. And both are recyclable if you really want to. Used to be a saying in the plastics industry that oil was far too valuable to convert into either gasoline or plastic. So many marvelous chemicals can be produced from petroleum, there's easily millions of them. Our world survives on organic chemicals.
