In an effort to reduce plastic bag pollution, Kenya has introduced tough laws that will result in a prison term of up to 4 years or a maximum of $40,000 for any Kenyan producing, selling or even using plastic bags, although initial enforcement will target manufacturers and suppliers.

"The East African nation joins more than 40 other countries that have banned, partly banned or taxed single use plastic bags, including China, France, Rwanda and Italy."

Bags can take 500-1000 years to decompose, in the mean time killing or harming wildlife and entering the human food chain.
What is being done about plastic bag pollution where you live?

    I have no idea why Americans love them so much, especially women. Honestly, looking through online dating profiles, it seems like about 80% of white American women (generally liberal city-dwelling ones) have some giant dog.

    When she can't find a man who earns more money than she does, she fucks her dog instead.

    I have actually seriously wondered at times how many of these big-dog-loving women actually do this. Also notice most of these peoples' dogs seem to be purebreds, which you get from breeders, and can be obtained un-neutered, unlike shelter dogs that only come neutered.

    We're talking white american women, not jewesses. Jewesses are known to sleep with all kinds of animals, including giraffe. Being animals themselves, they find it comes naturally. They also let rats (jews) up their vaginas. Rats like company of rats.
