    PICTURES OF MARINE LIFE WITH SWALLOWED PLASTIC BAGS HANGING OUT OF THEIR MOUTHS, THAT HAVE BECOME ENTWINED IN THEIR INTESTINES AND WILL KILL THEM -ARE HORRIFIC AND INEXCUSABLE . IT IS TIME FOR A BIODEGRADABLE BAG THAT WILL QUICKLY BREAK DOWN, AS GOING BACK TO PAPER AND KILLING MORE TREES IS NOT THE ANSWER EITHER. IT IS TIME FOR A WORKABLE, ENVIRONMENTALLY HEALTHY SOLUTION ! Thu FIRST ONE IS PEOPLE BEING RESPONSIBLE AND THROWING AWAY THEIR TRASH - SO MAKE STIFFER LAWS FOR LITTERING ! use PRISON INMATES TO CLEAN UP THE TRASH . WHATEVER IT TAKES !

    plastic bags are horrible in many ways -- too many end up in water and wildlife, they depend on oil, often become trash on our land...think of the future and lets stop using this obsolete product.

    Stores should start charging customers for every plastic bag they carry out. We cannot continue to kill those who live in the ocean.

    Since humans are the idiots that toss these bags around with little concern for sea life or others for that matter, I am signing the petition.

    the world has the right to know, that petrochemical plastic is killing our planet. the very air we breath is produced by the marine phytoplankton in our oceans, which is being destroyed by the plastics that are polluting the waters. It's time to wake up and CHANGE the way we live ! HEMP can heal our planet !

    Get rid of them. People need to bring their own bags to the store. It isn't that difficult.

    The 100,000 sea turtles and other marine life that die each year won?t live long enough to reproduce. Eventually evolution will slowly weed out most marine life and our oceans will be the home to many billions of plastic garbage if we don?t get involved and do something.

    Legalize Hemp and we can make everything out if it, not just plastic bags. This is destroying our lovely Earth! Please make these bags illegal and create a system of bio-degradable plastics! Who wouldn't want that?

    Please (RE)consider Hemp! The United States of America used hemp for a lot of things, including the Constitution, the foremost document in this proud land! I am an American and I demand that we consider all options for none other than - THE GREATER GOOD!!! Save money; Create Jobs; LETS DO THIS!

    The amount of plastic free floating in "islands" throughout the ocean is sickening and very saddening. We have already started a legacy of destroying our natural environment and it should be stopped. Banning plastic bags for other plastic alternatives is just the start. We need to ban all the carcinogenic, non-biodegradable plastic this nation uses for a cleaner, healthier, and greener environment.

    As a Environmental Chemist I support this position entirely. Paper can be recycled. Ask for Paper bags when you shop, I do.
