Out to Sea

The Chronicle is enclosed in a plastic that our
Whole Foods groceries are forbidden to wear.

The rain was heavy and the winds were fierce for a while, but we have certainly experienced worse weather in NoCal over the past 30 years. The "drought emergency" makes us hope for more such storms.

Newspaper deliveries--we get two dailies and one weekly--are wrapped in plastic when there's rain. Some of our neighbors aren't diligent at picking up, and a few papers get washed down the gutter. If plastic bags are such a danger to wildlife that they have to be banned from California grocery stores, why are newspaper plastic bags--which are more likely to go out to sea--exempted? Just asking.
