Hello you have some very good questions that I'm sure many people may be thinking!! Good Job. The reason that all these items are still available is people still have not WOKE up and realized that our planet is IN DANGER it won't be here for our kids and there kids if everyone could take sometime and watch the Al Gore movie An Inconvenient Truth. They just might realize HEY we have really screwed up the planet and we must all change the way we live. We ALL need to NOT BUY the old light bulbs but do remember that you must depose of compact florescent bulbs in the proper way because they contain Mercury and that's bad to. Come on people spend a few bucks and buy the cloth grocery bags. Don't send all those plastic bags that will never desecrate to our land fills. Also don't fill your trash up with stuff that you could throw on a compost pile. The less you put in the trash and the more you recycle threw your trash pick up service will be the quickest way to stop filling up the landfills. I could go on and on and If someone reads this and it can convince them to do just one small change in there life. Then that's a start. Then pay it forward tell your friends how easy it is and they can tell people and we can all make a difference.

Come on people save our life/save the planet.

the answer to all of your questions is money.  it is cheaper to mass produce plasic bags than to mass produce cloth ones.   it is cheaper to make regular lightbulbs than flourescent ones.

in most recycling bins, paper and plastic are accepted.

i share your anger

people need to do something
