With all due respect to 'Sarah' this has been proposed and discussed about a gazillion times. Methinks it's time to stop talking and start doing. This is but one very small step in the overall solution but it's a start that needed doing years ago for the overall benefit of the island as a whole as well as the dump and the environment in general.
But please, don't let this be the start and the end of the efforts. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

It will be right there with the timeshare legislation.

That's exactly what I'm afraid of since it's certainly not the first time this has been proposed. I know it would cause a hardship for many businesses like the take out food industry for starters, but c'mon - even as a visitor, I keep my grocery bag in my rental car for the duration of every trip, and this after having the bulk of our groceries delivered by Jeannie.
They have to start somewhere........ Actually, the problem is more like they have to start something - yesterday!

Sarah is to be commended for her effort, even if we all know this is an exercise in futility. What's really needed is for somebody - anybody.. in government to realize that recycling needs to happen and also to find a better solution to the flaming dump. The dump needs to be the first priority as it's a health hazard as well as a tourist turnoff but recycling is a close second.

That disgusting, burning dump needs to be first priority.

Garden Market does not use plastic bags. The boutique markets like Sprouts and Whole Foods are also shying away from plastic. We always bring our own bags
