In Our World - Reusable grocery bags
This seems like one of those unintended consequences of politicians passing "helpful" laws without thoroughly evaluating the long term possibilities...
In Canada's National Post, Karen Hawthorne reports:
"The study found that 64% of the reusable bags tested were contaminated with some level of bacteria and close to 30% had elevated bacterial counts higher than what's considered safe for drinking water.
Further, 40% of the bags had yeast or mold, and some of the bags had an unacceptable presence of coliforms, faecal intestinal bacteria, when there should have been 0."
