Transforming plastic to corn bags

I like the idea of the campaign to illegalize the use of plastic bags and in their place use bags made of corn. This is something in which should have been done years ago. The way they do it now is a total waste.

The plastic used is all a petroleum product and can not biologically break down. When instead it could be put to use for other good purposes. This is something that could be done to help out the economy and/or the environment. In the process doing something that would help out the situation and others would benefit.

Sure to make this change, it would initially cost the retailer a couple of more cents a bag. But as the use continues to increase so will this price will decrease. All of which will be governed by what the supply and demand issue will dictate.

The only disadvantage of using corn instead of plastic bags will be its impact on a number of future markets values. This will be an increase to the corn markets due to the use of ethenol has already sent the price of a bushel of corn through the roof. In the process increasing the cost of pork bellies, header cattle and etc. For these live crops all use corn as one of their primary choice of dinner.

For it is one good crop that all of those farmer Browns out there have at their disposal to feed their cattle and other live stock. Something that was at least inexpensive, very accessible and fattens them up for the days in the market. Now this has all changed.
