Austin also banned one time usage plastic bags. At the most popular
grocery store, HEB, you can still get reusable bags made of heavier plastic
for .25 each. Wal-Mart charges .10 for paper bags, although i rarely go
there.

Haha! Yeah, I did not get any environmentalist vibe from that online

For sure if somebody were to claim they are saving the world by using

Hey Bill. I don't get why they are environmentally sound in the eyes of the
"Co-exist" web folk, whom I presume have environmentalism in mind based on
their name. I have no problem with the cardboard panniers being offered.
Let the free market decide. Laws were never supposed to govern how we ba

In California there are still paper grocery bags, you just pay 10 cents for
them. If I forget my reusable bags, I pay 10 cents a bag and recycle the
paper when the bag is no longer useful. Is it different where you live?
One thing in the article that is kind of cool is the free angle. A spo
I think its a great idea but grocery stores left paper bags behind a while
ago. IMO it would be a hard sell to ask them to stock these for the once in
a while occurrence where someone on a bike forgets their panniers. its a
subset of a subset market, very small.

I'm with Bill in that it's a brilliant option compared to none.

If it is raining that day, I do not recommend using paper panniers. The
harder it is raining, the less I recommend their use.

I went on a 23-mi ride yesterday morning. At the bottom of the hill,
stopped at the neighborhood store and picked up a 10-lb bag of charcoal to
grill steaks later - lashed it to my rear rack with J's Irish straps. The
stop was planned before the ride. But I guess I can't really claim carbon
What if its raining that day?

You and me neither. I own a good set of panniers and use them for books,
papers, and groceries. Cardboard is for those who can't think ahead.

First we were killing the planet with paper bags, then because we used
plastic, but now it's good to buy cardboard panniers if we're biking to the
grocer without our real panniers? I don't get it.

I reckon that's a decent idea for the parts of the EU where you don't get free

shattering for me personally because I'm happy taking my enormous saddlesack
into the shop, but if they were available at the checkout for
