Charles Lewis: The 'green revolution' creates a nation of bag ladies
Posted: November 30, 2009, 4:30 PM by NP Editor

We are turning into a nation of bag ladies and schleppers and we have the "green revolution" to blame. Look around any busy urban street in this country and you will see oppressed legions lugging cloth -- read "environmentally friendly" -- bags filled with God knows what at any time of the day and in any setting.

The original point of these bags was to replace plastic bags. I understand that completely. I even own a few cloth bags. Five to be exact. I bring them to the grocery store, fill them up and drag them back to my car. From there it is into the house. And that is it. I do not carry these bags around with me all week in the event I happen to buy something. But others seem to be doing just that.
