Ideally, everyone would recycle their plastic bags. The sad fact is only 3% of plastic shopping bags are recycled. People need incentives to reduce their consumption of disposable shopping bags. Some places, like Taiwan, China and San Francisco CA, have banned plastic shopping bags. Others, like Washington D.C. and Seattle WA, have placed a user fee on plastic bags.

God saw that she was tiredand a cure was not to be.
He put his arms around herand whispered come with me.
With tearful eyes we watched her
weaken and slowly pull away.
We could not bearto lose her
but we could not make her stay.A golden heart
stopped beating,
a loving woman laid to rest.
God broke our heartsto say to us
he only takes the best.
