Letter: plastic bags can be used for other purposes

More important ways of protecting the environment than banning plastic bags

Editor,

Re: Politicians pose on plastic bags (B.C. Views, Jan. 10).

Thanks to Tom Fletcher for voicing opposition to the plastic bag ban.

With all the other more important ways of protecting the environment, a small minority chose banning plastic bags.

I am always running out of plastic bags because I use the bags I get to line my garbage bins.

When shopping for groceries, most of the time I take my own bags, and when I forget I ask for a plastic bag.

I’m disappointed when given a paper bag, which I take home and recycle, whereas I would have re-used the plastic bag.
