I hope that with this "Plastic bag recycling fundraiser" that you all DONT do extra shopping and end up with even more plastic bags. I believe the point of recycling is to REDUCE waste, and although this fundraiser helps schools, it wouldn't be in the best interests of the community to actually TRY to get so many plastic bags. I Think that would be detrimental to the whole recycling effort.
