I Will not be shopping in bend as long as they refuse to give out bags...its very inconvenient. I can shop in Lapine. They still give out bags.

Taking away bags and making us pay to use the recycled ones. Not to mention the paper bags rip and all the groceries end up all over the parking lot

It is time for the city council to spend it's time on what is important for the city and quit wasting time and tax payer's money on issues the should be addressed by at state and level.

A socialistic sly move without vote. Look into the mountains of commercial plastics that aren't recycled. Bags are a drop in the ocean in comparison. Check this out plasticparadisemovie.com

While I have no problem banning the plastics bags. What i really hate is the tax that was added to paper bags. That just added to every ones grocery bill.

Charging for them isn't a horrible idea, banning them is a step too far.

I've had made homemade bags in the past so this makes close to 10 years that I've used my own. Get with the people use recycle bags, save our Earth
ReplySave the environment!
ReplyIt's the right thing to do...only one Mother Earth🍃
ReplyTired of seeing plastic bags everyday everywhere
ReplyInvited for this because we need to reduce our use of plastic. As a senior citizen, I have no problem remembering to take my own bags and they are much easier for my senior fingers to carry.
ReplyTime to phase-out single-use plastics. Besides, groceries always fall out on the drive home.
ReplyIt is about time we begin taking care of the environment - or in the not too distant future, the earth won't be habitable.
ReplyI've been carrying my own bags in for 10 yrs now. so I don't hardly notice.
ReplyI use the Winco bags from the valley and they are big and strong and only cost $1.59 each. Been reusing them for years.
ReplyIt's love/hate 4 me. I believe in reducing plastic waste, but I never remember to bring my bags in with me, so it is a bit of an inconvenience. But I still support the movement. Just get used to it.
ReplyAbsolutely no need for single use plastic bags. Use boxes like at G.O. or bring your own bag. Hate that ban was repealed until State ban comes in. Retailers are now stuck figuring out what to do
ReplyThe grocery stores are paying for these bags and it increases the cost of groceries. Why bother at all with it if you can just bring your own?
