You and I have been through this before many times so there's no need to rehash it here. I'm not for paper over plastic or vice versa. I'm for reusable over all else, and biodegradable where reusable is not feasible (like your kitty litter).
Vansmack, well said.
I find it interesting how many people see a fundamental difference between littering and throwing something out. But if it's non-degradable it's as bad for the environment whether it goes to a landfill, or the Pacific Ocean, as if it ends up on your sidewalk.

i'm trying to wrap my head around how it makes good economic sense to go out of your way to avoid bag charges at a target

Because driving to a suburban DC Walmart will give you cheaper prices than a DC Target, and you'll also get the bonus of shopping alongside a more diverse population of shoppers in the burbs.
I dunno, those soccer moms all sorta look alike…
but soccer moms go to target

yes, there is a difference. . . .at least at landfills you can collect the methane and use it as a fuel source for electricity generation, and get an RPS credit for it in some states (and, presumably, if a nationwide cap-and-trade or RPS program ever gets passed).

i don't think that argument would hold up to judicial scrutiny (not to mention that it is simply illogical). . .you can't assume that simply because i purchase a good that i will litter. and unfortunately for herr doom, littering is a specific legal definition; simply re-using it for cat litter and throwing it in the garbage does not constitute littering.
i don't necessarily disagree with your last points. . .i simply disagree with the means of getting there.

Blah blah blah.
Don't worry you cheap bastard, I already bought you a 30 pack of biodegradable kitchen liners (from Target no less!) that you can use for your kitty litter. Now I will convince your wife to bring reusable bags to Target. "Do it for your daughter" I will tell her.
That's just me doing my part.
