California wants to ban them.  Now I do too.

    When we lived in Australia a few years back they were in the process of banning them. At the time, I thought it was a bit inconvenient having to bring canvas totes to the grocery store, and hardly worth the effort. Then we moved back to Saudi – literally the land of the discarded plastic bag – and I rethought my position! Thanks for sharing a fabulous video.
