Anyone care to substantiate these downvotes?<p>It&#x27;s ok for the parent commenter to say all American&#x27;s are anti-environmental and have &#x27;issues defending the environment&#x27; but it&#x27;s not ok for me to defend the original opine that this wasn&#x27;t a &#x27;pro-plastic-bag&#x27; argument but rather a &#x27;pro-efficacious-solutions&#x27; argument?<p>Why. Please elucidate me.<p>This has nothing to do with America or Germany. This is about what is best for this planet and I strongly disagree with the parent posters anti-nationalism. This isn&#x27;t an issue with &#x27;America&#x27; alone.
