SAN
FRANCISCO - City leaders approved a ban on plastic grocery bags
after weeks of lobbying on both sides from environmentalists and a
supermarket trade group. San Francisco would be the first U.S. city
to adopt such a rule if Mayor Gavin Newsom signs the ban as
expected.

As heard on the March
28th, 2007 program, the public service being provided by the Glenn
Beck Program . . .
Glenn: You know what I’d like to do . . . hey Stu . . . I’d
like to raise plastic bags for San Francisco. I think that they’re
going to have a shortage of plastic bags. I would like to raise
plastic bags for San Francisco and then send them to Gavin Newsom.
We’ll ship them right to him. You send me your plastic bags and then
I’ll ship them right to Gavin Newsom and the city of San Francisco.
Here’s the great thing – because then they can use them – or they’ll
have to dispose of them there in San Francisco, and that would make
me happy.
Stu: This is good too, because you can send a lot of plastic
bags – they’re not heavy. The weight is going to be low. This is a
brilliant idea, and it helps the people of San Francisco.
Glenn: So here’s what I’d like to do. I would like to raise
plastic bags for San Francisco. This is an aid project.
Glenn: America – the voices of people in San Francisco are
crying out. They’re saying: ‘how can I walk into the house with 5,
6, 7, 8 bags under my arm . . . because I’ve tried to do that with
paper and it always rips and my milk is all over the floor. I’m not
using cloth. I refuse to use cloth’. Oh brother, stop the suffering
in San Francisco – send them plastic bags. You’ve got them – send
them. You’ve got hundreds of them, you can’t get rid of them, they
just keep multiplying they’re like bunnies. Send your plastic bags.
Do it now, and help the poor suffering souls in San Francisco,
California . . .
Glenn: Gavin - all of our listeners feel the same way, and
we’re getting rid of our grocery bags. You’ve made such a good
point. I’m with you. And I’m giving up all of my plastic grocery
bags, because we’re behind you. You’ve led by example. (I’m not
changing my ways, I’m going to go get some more. But these are
grocery bags I happen to have in my kitchen).
How can you help the people of San Francisco?
If you feel for the suffering of the people of San Francisco, and
want to show your solidarity, please send your plastic grocery bags
