Relax, Wharfie. I realize that the plastic bag ban has nothing to do with "global cooking."

But it does have something to do with Sacramento's incessant habit of dictating how we should live our lives and what choices should be available to us.

Personally I don't mind having to use reusable bags, but I keep forgetting to bring them to the grocery store. I never remember to put the bags back into my car.

Meanwhile I keep building up a collection of plastic bags that I don't know what to do with. Of course I use some of them to collect trash, but in an era of DoorDash, I can't use them fast enough.

It's similar to all of the cardboard boxes that I have to fold up and recycle, thanks to all the stuff I order from Amazon.

No matter what, Wharfie, no matter how much we repeat the slogan "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle," there just isn't enough we can do to reduce our production of garbage.

P.S. - And I haven't even talked about the great garbage patches in the ocean, the brilliant engineering projects being created to clean them up, and the measures we need to take to prevent them in the first place. (Spoiler alert: 99% of that trash doesn't come from the U.S.)
