now that the merchants conspired with the state government to charge 10 cents for plastic bags, in the name of "environmentalism",
California prop 65 wants to take their new found profits for "environmental" causes.
i'm going to vote for it just to teach them not to partner with the government.
the merchants can watch their new profits go to California state, to help save Nessy
Charging for bags has been proven, in just about every example, to be a success.
Proven to be a waste of your money. Money the politicians now want.
What has proven to be a waste of money?
Reduce plastic bag usage and you reduce crap in the oceans. They make up about 10% of the crap in the oceans.
The amount of oil needed to produce plastic bags keep the US dependent on foreign oil.
How about you just don't throw your ******* bags in the ocean? And who is doing that? Who is letting these bags in the ocean? Probably nobody in ******* California. So where are they coming from and why do Californians need to pay more for using bags they aren't throwing out in the ocean?
How do you know Californians aren't throwing their bags in the ocean. No doubt there are plenty of plastic bags all around California that are just lying around as ugly rubbish, being a danger to animals and the like.
Why should Californians pay more for bags? Because they're conscious of the problem, that's why.
Reducing consumption of bags will go a long way to reducing a lot of problems. You know plastic bag consumption will lead to HIGHER OIL PRICES, woo, so what you save in plastic bag costs might go on fuel for your car anyway.
