Thats the funniest thing I have heard in a while, the “Save The Plastic Bag Coalition” - are they kidding? And one has to wonder what judges think in court over a town not using plastic bags and getting sued for it…talk about a waste of taxpayer money.

Can I ask though - how did you get this picked up and into google news?
Very impressive, is it something that is just up to Google or you actively created?
