Have you ever held or purchased a reusable bag, it lasts, its not for one grocery trip @thisisours

I hole this isnt the reasoning and logic behind the aversion to reusnable bags from the public. Who is saying these things?

What are you even saying

Or possibly because the pledging conference was a undp / idb iniatitive that was organised by and sponsored by them. So they remain involved as part of the transparency that you write about in long post when its convenient.

You have a big chip on your shoulder.

Who hurt you, who denied you something, maybe your dreams didnt work out?

Seems like only you know everything, the pre -eminient expert in all things, but you have time to be online commenting on all things. The chairman you have a problem with, every idea you have a problem with, i mean what a burden to know all and only have tribune commenters to share it with

Do you live in grand bahama or Abaco

Pinch yourself again, when you and the trolls are prepared to talk about the topic at hand, pledging conference, and not your napolean complex then ill be back.

I agree that those are factors. But these merchants arent all victims. I went in the mall to buy a bluetooth for my car, everystore minimum price was $35 for models i googled quickly that in walmart for $10 - $17. Why would anyone wanna buy anything they dont have to in this place.

That conference did not only concern money, technical experts and others also came to exhibit their services.

Yeah, the trolls are activated. The thread concerned plastic bags and the pledging conference. The only thing that trolls could offer was vague comments about how someone have their hands in the cookie jar; how poor people shouldnt have to.pay 25cents for a plastic bag. If you dont think that is political fodder being dropped all across media platforms to incite the the grasssroot Bahamian voting base and a blatant poltical attack, i would suggest u wake up.

Many countries have stopped producing pennies because they cost more to make than they are worth, and do not often return back into circulation. Many countries have stopped using plastic bags, per haps they should have just banned it instead of the 25 cents fee, because I guess we can’t resist the urge to buy a plastic bag. One week you talking about how govt don’t care about the environment, the next week you want plastic bags.

It’s ignorance like this that is disturbing. A reusable bag is a 1.40. But, maybe one morning when i drive down the street and don’t see Kentucky box, beer bottle and whatever people eat from fish fry lining the streets I will believe that a ban on plastic bags in not necessary.
