While I take the issue of plastic related pollution seriously, I just couldn't help myself. Reading through this thread reminded me of this old Simpson's clip presented without implication or agenda.

Best regards

Wasn't it an environmentalist who said that the road to hell is paved with good intentions.  :)

I see what you mean. It is not about climate change, but about good, old pollution.

Then again, maybe the amount of plastic in the ocean is the primary reason for the rise in sea levels? ;)

A tad, but this can be recycled and it is into an awesome product (I've got in my Green built home) called TREX. Any such plastic that's thin enough to push your finger through can be recycled this way.
That is for those of us that concentrate on recycling....

Isn't every supermarket plastic bag easily punctured by a finger?

Depends on the size of your fingers. ;D 
Indeed, the rule for recycling what is called "Film" here (and I provided a link to our local recycle group of which I volunteer) is IF you can push your finger though it, it can be recycled in the appropriate area. For us, that happens to be at our local supermarkets. So yes, is the answer to your question.
