Marin prissies + Marin trails = plastic bags all along your walk

Come on, folks, what the hell? Lets make this simple and start with points. The point of poop is to fertilize and make flowers grow, bees pollinate and all that other wonderful stuff. Did you know that some of the most interesting plant migrations happened because of POOP?!?!?! Now, the point of bagging the poop is to carry it to a trash can, RIGHT? Well, then, what, may I ask, is the frigging point of leaving your lame little baggies strewn along the trails of Marin? Do you think you're done once you've bagged that poop? If so, you're wrong and must know that nobody is going to pick up after you. No, I know, its so weird, nobody wants to carry your dog's sh*t! Unheard of, isn't it?!
When I'm walking and looking around, I see little blue bags...when I'm taking pictures, I'm trying to keep the blue garbage out of them pics! I don't want to see trash bags!!! I wanted to go for a walk in NATURE, not a DUMP!
Now, when I'm ranting about it to my little sister, she retorts, "but wait, there's the potato starch bags that are biodegradable, so it's okay!" But actually, in my own opinion, that makes it worse! If the point of the bag is to make a half-assed attempt of getting the poop out of the world and into a trash can, then get it from Point A to B. If you plan on just leaving a stupid inane little bag of sh*t out in the middle of a beautiful landscape then just leave the goddamn sh*t out in nature to disintegrate the way it's supposed to. There is ultimately no reason to add a bag to that wonderful, natural situation.
So, in conclusion, I suggest the invention of four foot long spatulas where the walker can scrape up that innocent little doodle and fwap it out into the middle of nature where it will fulfill it's doodies and fertilize the trees, the grass and all those pretty flowers!
