Plastic bags- can’t use them but they can sell them

Here is an example of the sad, crazy world which we live in. I live in New York State, the country part on the west coast of the state, and the use of plastic bags has been banned for a couple years now. We are not allowed to use them for groceries but the stores are allowed to sell, for GREAT profit, these oh so bad for the environment plastic bags. What a world we live in… The state of New York is mostly a beautiful, rural, hilly and wild land covered. The whole entire state suffers because of the terrible laws and politicians in that disgusting city.
