Lisa: "Thank you mayor, I have a brief prepared
statement
I
am the San Jose Bag Monster and I am here to protest ANY ban on plastic
bags
I'm
made
of
500
plastic
bags.
That's
the
number
that
an
individual
uses
in
an average year.
I
live to be 1000 years old and I am synthetic so I break down very slowly.
It
is
not
a
pretty
sight.
I'll
be
here
long
after
all
of
you
are gone regardless of what you decide
today.
I
have a few downsides.
I
kill about 100,000 marine mammals in a year.
But
there
are
plenty
of
fish
in
the
sea, I've heard people say.
I
kill a lot of land animals too, but we can make more.
And
besides,
it's
not
my
fault
that
the
land animals or the water animals
swallow me.
I'm
not
to
blame,
so
why
should
I
suffer?
What's
the
big
deal
anyway?
We
have
plenty
of
fish,
plenty
of
oil,
and plenty of money, right?
You
made
me,
so
why
not
just
live
with me?
I
have an upside though.
I'm
convenient,
I'm
readily
available,
and
I'm
cheap
too.
I
think that you should keep me in your homes, in your stores, on your
shores, on your streets,
in
your
dumps,
on
our
lawns,
let
me
live!
Support my right to be a productive member
of society."

Chuck
Reed
