Speaking of highway trash...has SA banned plastic grocery bags yet? I know many people groan at the idea of having to buy reusable bags, but I have noticed that the highways are dramatically cleaner here in Austin since our Big Bad Bag Ban went into effect. A bag ban is certainly something the city can do to improve SA's cleanliness. Plus, for those who don't already use them, I think reusable bags are fantastic. They hold probably the volume of at least 4 small grocery bags. Which means one trip from the car to the front door with three or four bags in hand, rather than 3-4 trips back and forth. It's awesome.
The only thing is I like to reuse those plastic sacks for the small trash cans around my place...so whenever I'm in SA and do some shopping, I keep those pesky plastic bags handy
