Government in Cali just likes to show that it has the power to push the people around.
One does not have to be too very old to remember the phony “environmental concerns” that led to the introduction of plastic bags in the first place. It was to save the trees from being cut down and used for paper grocery bags.
That’s right — the eco-kooks were the ones who forced us into plastic bags in the first place.
Lefties are a blight.
I remember all of that.
There was a time when the environmentalists warned us of the coming Ice Age, and told us to use plastic bags instead of paper.
I remember that. They also pushed gasoline additives that turned out to not do anything other than make gas more expensive.
It won’t be long before they start whining about all the trees they are cutting down to make paper bags. Then they will mandate that all shoppers use reusable cloth bags.
Store clerks would loudly ask you “paper or plastic” to try to shame you into using plastic..........to save the trees. Now those plastic bags are blown by the wind all over the country. Trash
