1. Good for them!

11. One of the basic home grown things we can do is refuse to use plastic bags.

I have gone to using re-usable cloth bags. They not only are a major factor in cleaning up the environment, they are far superior for hauling in the groceries over plastic bags. They have handles and the food isn't stuffed on top of each other. They also stand up in the car and don't fall over. I have become a recycler after years of just throwing stuff in the trash. It just has to become a habit and really doesn't take any real additional effort, just an easy commitment. I wish I had done more earlier.

18. You have to bring your own bags in Europe.

If you want to use a plastic bag, you have to buy it. I’ve used my own cloth bags for years.

But I’ve seen people post here that using cloth bags doesn’t help. Unbelievable.

[CurtEastPoint]

19. I love going to E LeClerc and Super U etc. in France and taking my bags in like a Frenchie!

Sometimes I forget and have to buy more bags!

[cwydro]

45. I have a car full of bags for that reason.

If I forget to bring one in, I buy another one.

I have some really nice ones I bought in Ireland and Wales. The cashiers here in rural NC do a double take at my Welsh ones with the brilliant red dragon on them lol.

44. I sure that the Republicans would have numerous objections to such a proposal.

I have really, and sadly grown to just about hate every damn Republican. I don't care to be friends with them because why should I have to put up with their insanity. I used to think well they have a right to their opinion, but I don't want to traffic with that crappy excuse any longer, just f-them and move on. They are no long worth the time of day.

30. No plastic bags at the supermarkets. It's bring your own or you get large paper bags.

Of course, if you forget, like me, they sell the reusable bags right at the checkout counters. How clever they are...

[underpants]

2. Wow. Good for them.

[msongs]

3. so how many drove to the game in a gas powered car? nt

[Codeine]

4. Or had bacon for breakfast? nt

[Demovictory9]

6. or bought something in a plastic wrapper? we all did, but got to start somewhere

[Croney]

7. If it was in Cambridge, the Harvard students would have walked the few blocks there.

I think it's at Yale though, and I don't know how far they are from the campus. Maybe lots of them walked.

[CTyankee]

17. It was played as usual at the Yale Bowl. We attended, altho I got sick and left early.

The Bowl is a distance from the Yale Campus. I think it would be a long walk for the students.

8. A brand new dumbest thing I have read on DU.

[Bradshaw3]

16. Exactly

Very same "point" the RW climate deniers try to make. If you're not perfect in every way you shouldn't do anything.

[SCantiGOP]

24. Thanks, Sloggin

We should have an emoji for “brand new dumbest thing I have read on DU.”
It would get a lot of use.

[tenderfoot]

9. Bet they all have teevees too!

[nolabear]

14. The perfect is the enemy of the good. We should not hurt those trying to help.

[Kurt V.]

21. Amazing. Absolutely amazing. i'll remember this post like no other.

[Iggo]

38. I pay taxes that pay for war. Does that mean I can't protest war?

[KG]

41. I lulz'd

[hatrack]

42. Well, I guess they all just better STFU then, right?

Unless you live in a cave and make clothing from the skins of animals you trapped or killed with flint-tipped spears, how dare you comment on climate policy (or lack thereof).

[TheBlackAdder]

5. Heavens a Yale Man!

15. :-)

[California_Republic]

10. Yeah we all got to be doing more

[Karadeniz]

12. Climate change should interrupt some regular activities!

[UniteFightBack]

13. Good for them. These students are smart...they know the facts. Great job...the more the

alarm is raised in all quarters the better.

[edhopper]

20. Whe the players tried to take the field

did the marching band refuse to yield?
Do you recall what was the feel?

[CTyankee]

29. Hey, Ed are you a Yalie?

If you are you know all about Yale Precision Marching Band. If not, I will tell you. It is actually a good band but it exists to do quite a bit of mocking of those big marching bands in the Big 10 schools. They serenade our little tailgate groups with a terrible rendition of the theme from "The Love Boat." It's a tradition or something. They just don't take themselves too seriously.

[edhopper]

35. No I'm a Gator

but your story sounded very American Pie-ish.

[Croney]

32. * Do you recall what was revealed *

Sorry, had to do it. 😀

[edhopper]

37. Really?

been wrong for sooo many years.

[Croney]

40. I know what you mean. I'm still reeling from finding out

that You're So Vain contains the line "you watched yourself gavotte."

[Iggo]

39. Wait....what?

Since when...oh, no-no-no-no-no......

[AllaN01Bear]

22. ohm myyyy word.: eggscllent

[Buckeyeblue]

23. I take my own bags to the grocery

And I smile at the Trumpies when they glare at me, daring them to say something.

[Disaffected]

27. Seriously?

People actually glare at you if you take your own bags??

What an f'ed up place in the world you must live in.

[Buckeyeblue]

31. Yes they do. I'm in southwest Michigan

I'm in a very red part of the state, where poor people happily vote against their best interests. We live here to help care for my wife's dad. But I do get glares sometimes at the grocery for using cloth bags. And I respond to their glare with a smile.

[cwydro]

48. I live in a rural red county in NC.

I don’t think anyone pays any attention to me or my bags lol.

That’s effing hilarious

[Croney]

33. We have to bring our own bags, or pay ten cents each for a paper bag and

a buck for a reusable vinyl one. Half the time I forget my bags in the car, so my stockpile keeps growing. I like this law though. (I'm in Mass.)

[Codeine]

34. What a strange thing to be angry about.

Nearly all of us bring our own bags in California.

[shanti]

36. Yes

It just becomes a habit. My favorite is my Costco bag - it's holds a LOT!

[NewJeffCT]

46. It's mandatory in Connecticut now

plastic grocery bags have been banned

[LAS14]

25. Using your own bags, etc., is all well and good, but I think these...

... students had bigger ideas. As well they should. We don't have much time left. Using your own bags is not going to do it.

[Eliot Rosewater]

26. We need more and more of this and NOW...good for them!

[crickets]

28. Agreed! nt

[KG]

43. solidarnosc

[NewJeffCT]

47. useless protest

nothing is going to happen until Trump is out of office. Start by focusing on the real problem.
