I’m in Britain and I really hate the eyelashes, fillers and makeup here for young girls sometimes and the intense pressure I see everywhere to get them. Poor girlies.

    Where I am in the US there in no charge for bags. Grocery stores bag your groceries in plastic bags unless you bring your own which I rarely see. Restaurants pack up your leftovers in plastic or styrofoam. My city is the same as yours in that we have a recycle bin and a garbage bin but the contents of each end up in the same place.

      California passed a law a few years back that effectively bans single use plastic bags and requires retailers (except those that had a strong enough lobby) to sell paper or thicker plastic, but still mostly single use, bags for 10 cents.

      Not sure the intent of the law was met since most people just buy the bags and now we have no way to recycle them. We at least could take them back to the store that gave them to us to be recycled before…
