For example, I reuse it to transport items that may be wet, food that may leak, produce and trash, etc. I feel the government is being too restrictive. The county should not prohibit businesses from providing plastic bags to their customers. It is what we are accustomed to and is very convenient and useful and is always reused. Many of us live on a fixed income and do not want to be imposed on to purchase reusable bags. Banning plastic bags is negative and is not the solution. Instead, the county should be proactive and come up with a degradable bag or other recyclable programs.

For example, I reuse it to transport items that may be wet, food that may leak, produce and trash, etc. I feel the government is being too restrictive. The county should not prohibit businesses from providing plastic bags to their customers. It is what we are accustomed to and is very convenient and useful and is always reused. Many of us live on a fixed income and do not want to be imposed on to purchase reusable bags. Banning plastic bags is negative and is not the solution. Instead, the county should be proactive and come up with a degradable bag or other recyclable programs.
