Like all envisioned "simple fixes", biodegradable poop bags do not come without cost. After the bags degrade, the flies would soon set upon the poop (and probably on the degrading poop bags as well) to lay their eggs. We would then be plagued with disease carrying flies. Hospital costs needed to treat diseased pet owners and non owners alike (including children) would soar. Area spraying with carcinogenic insecticides to control the then existent fly problem would be even worse.
Oh well, let's look at the GOOD side. We are all going to die anyway.

Sorry I remember the 70's and it was the environMentalists who forced the plastic bags on us with "Save a Tree"!
Too late and no take backs. Plastic bags have proved to be one of the most sucessful multi-use items around and we're keeping them. Recycle people and don't buy plastic trash bags!
And NO, we're not falling for those mercury poisoned "green" light bulbs either.

<quoted text> Yay! thanks for the big cheer..and I agree!Puh-leeze Don't buy plastic trash bags! The "environmentalists" did NOT force plastic bags on you. They are offered and people make the choice to use them . It's cost effective for stores to use plastic bags.
If we were good stewards of the earth, there wouldn't be enviormentists. OK,so back to a solution for a poop disposal method for your companion animal.Read what I wrote about using a pooh pooh pail and flushing that poop to the same place you flush your own! Unless it's toooo inconveeeenient:0

Maybe you're too young to remember but yes, the enviromentalist did bring us the plastic bags with the slogan "Save a Tree".
I think the cheer was meant as a joke.

Malibu banned the plastic bags quite a while ago. Ralphs supermarket gave out free canvas totes after the law passed and now they give you "points" or a discount for using the bags. Works out quite well, a very smart, proactive solution. And as the grocers say, a win-win situation.
Only the nabobs of negativism and the plastic bag lobby would be against this.

Ugh, gross. It turns out that hippie grocery bags are no less filthy than the hippie foods that people put into them. And what you end up with is a wet, dirty pocket of disease that you proudly tote your uncooked meats in. You might as well cart your food around in a toilet.
Swab-testing by two independent laboratories found unacceptably high levels of bacteria, yeast, mold and coliform counts in the reusable bags
