It was put on the ballot and the people voted for it, the most pure form of democracy. If people do not agree with it they do not have to shop in the town in which it was passed.

People are idiots most of the time, the joy of freedom is they are allowed to be.

Suffering idiots is not freedom.
Having to constantly pay the price of others poor choices is not freedom.

Can you provide the per capita plastic CONSUMPTION before and after renewable bags were mandated? The article only notes the amount of plastic used in bag production

can you? You ask a question that you don't have any clue about. Why don't you post something that contradicts his. You expect he should debate himself? you're such an asshole dudette!!!

For you information, debate is point then counterpoint.

Too bad. That would have been a good thing to know.

I haven't the faintest idea what you're saying JC - I've got you on ignore and I don't bother looking - but the rate at which you're responding to my posts makes me suspect you're stalking me. Did you want to have sex?

What the heck do you mean?

Far more plastic ended up as waste after the ban went into effect. The reusable bags are also plastic; they use far more plastic and can only be used six or eight times before they wear out.

Where does it say that more plastic ended up in the waste stream? All I see was that more plastic was used making bags.

Now that they dont make plastic bags, where do the chemicals go that made the bags.

solar panels and wind turbines?
