Kumbaya, save the planet and plastic bags
By Brian Kirwin | Friday, August 7th, 2009 | PolicyThe Virginian-Pilot amazes me again. Today’s editorial calls on government to ban plastic bags. Recycling isn’t good enough for Woodstockers. BAN!
The trip is complete. The “make love not war,” “save the trees,” “tax the rich, feed the poor, ’til there are no rich no more” 60′s throwbacks at the Pilot have driven me to offer equal time space against their 2009 pitch to ban plastic bags.

Back in 2007, the Virginia Association of Counties was going around to different jurisdictions getting them to pass resolutions asking the General Assembly to ban the bags outright.
It ended up on the Caroline County Board of Supervisor’s consent agenda until one citizen questioned a couple of Board members about the resolution and they pulled it and refused to pass it asking, ‘Why are we even considering this?’.
