text: I'm a Mat Su resident. I'd rather they just ban them outright. It's long past  time.  And of I course I can do it as proposed, but I foresee that it will cost me in the end. That's how they roll in the Mat Su. They charge - significantly in some cases -  to recycle.  I can't see this being any different in the end.  I still think the grocery stores should provide the most environmentally healthy containers for their customers to use as an incentive to shop there. I'm tired of being nickle and dimed to death. And I don't think paper bags are the answer either. How many trees will be cut down?
