future scarcity predicted

The plastic bags you get at the grocery, reviled by environmentalists, may become illegal. Now realistically what else are you going to transport used kitty litter in? So I say keep all of them you can, now. Double bag everything at the grocery. Ignore the critical glances of the staff. They (the bags, not the staff) can be compressed and stored in a small space as you provide for your future needs.

So put down that rag, sit down with a book and relax.
