I agree about the plastic items that will continue to be used, I wonder if aluminum foil would work instead of plastic baggies. I remember my SACK lunches (sandwiches) were wrapped in foil.
I think plastic straws are also on their way out over here. I read somewhere that the paper straws are not good for us health wise. I didn't finish the article so I don't know why. I should google it.
Don't feel bad for me (according to your "comforting" emoji). I am single by choice. I would rather be happy and single, rather than be miserable with a man like yourself.
I too, remember some of "the back in the day" things. I remember wrapping my school books in brown paper bags and my sister and I wore hand me down clothing. When my daughter was born 28 years ago, some people were still using disposable diapers, unfortunately I wasn't one who did. I was too young to remember recycling milk jars and glass drinking bottles but my parents said they had done it.
As of this month, my state will no longer bag our groceries in plastic bags. Reusable only. I think it's a great law put in to place.
