Three large plastic bag makers—Hilex Poly Company, LLC; Superbag Operating, LTD; and Advance Polybag, Inc. have filed a lawsuit in South Carolina. They are suing the ChicoBag Company, claiming that it has caused harm to their businesses. How? By stating facts: Plastic grocery bags are not biodegradable. They clog waterways, spoil the landscape, pollute the soil and water (and therefore us), and choke birds and marine mammals who mistake them for food. Once they end up in landfills, they may take 1,000 years or more to break down into ever smaller particles that continue to pollute the environment. (Free speech only for big businesses! No room for the true job creators: the independent companies trying to get into the bully-run market. Well, we'll continue just saying No to the bags at checkout, and use our cloth bags...and will look for ChicoBag)
