Message to stores that charge 5 cents for plastic bags

You're not actually helping. All you're doing is assuaging your own guilt for using plastic bags while making more money from hapless consumers by charging money for an environmentally damaging item. People will still pay the nickel for the bag (thanks to our inherent laziness) and the bag will still end up polluting the landscape sooner or later.

If you really wanted to do the environment a favour, just stop using plastic bags altogether. Make everyone bring their own bag. Or use biodegradable bags.

Got that.... Zeller's?

Hey if the big banks can charge 79% interest on some cards, Zeller's should think outside of the bag and consider charging...oh say FIFTY DOLLARS for each plastic bag and if that does not work CHARGE ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS. Yeah, that might work.
