uh..can these come scented, too?

Adrian Kondratowicz is tired of the “bland and mundane” black trash bags tossed onto city sidewalks. His dream is to see an entire swath of Manhattan south of 14th Street with lined with cheerily colorful polka dotted bags for at least one week.

I just wish you'd put a quote in... I don't like going into a news thread and seeing a link pasted on here. =(

Will edit once I actually see what's behind that link. Scroll down.

i was going to suggest this too. a lot of your stories aren't that long anyway so i think you'd get more replies if you just quoted stuff instead of making people click out of cb to go read it.

i think these should be more recognized. nyc is a dirty place. colorful garbage bags could be cool.
in fact, they should advertise in garbage bags. better than the billboards that nobody looks at anymore. and so much easier to change

k, i'll do the quotes now

um, nyc as a dirty place is a misconception.
it's actually not bad at all.

[brooklyneast05]

this topic is cracking me up, everyone is arguing about everything but the actual trash bags


well i'm all for eco friendly trash bags

i've lived here for 11 years.
nyc is dirty.

I've seen dirtier places than New York City. I think it's actually pretty alright.



Anyway, in response to JC's comment... yeah. wtf? Why is everyone so concerned about making the garbage bags look pretty and 'artsy'?

The bags are costly to make and are not yet a “mass product,” Kondratowicz noted. He sells signed bags as collectors items — or for trash, if a buyer chooses. The bags range from $10 for the pink with white polka dots to $25 for gold dots.

It all just seems to unnecessary, y'know? Spending so much money on bags that serve the same purpose as the regular black ones... and some people might collect them? Are you kidding me? And making the garbage bags prettier won't convince more people to not litter or whatever.

But yeah, good job on the eco-friendly thing.

[lkajsfklajskds]

there are dirtier places
but there is also a greater number of cleaner places

it shouldnt be expensive. it's only garbage bags. but its a good idea

[karmakiller]

I'd be a bit distracting to be driving down the road and there are bright trashbags lining the street. And for that price...

I'd assume they would just want you to use garbage bins made from recycled plastic and not bags. That's eco friendly

You've obviously never been to Houston.
