LA Bans The Plastic Bag
Council members stood by the ban, despite being confronted with evidence that bag bans have no discernible effect on the health of the environment and make up less than 1 percent of California’s waste stream. …
Reason contributor Jay Beeber points out that a similar ban in San Francisco failed to reduce the small number of plastic bags actually littering the street.
As the video notes: plastic bags have an 80% re-use rate and are 100% recyclable - credentials every watermelon councilcritter would be proud of. Further, the average consumer was not asking for this ban (or, to be fair, extra charge).
Banning extra large soda containers on one coast, banning plastic bags on this coast - these nanny staters believe societal perfection is only a few laws away…
interesting…
