And when I saw your comment about dog poop, I thought it referred to going to Taco Bell or Chipotle.
Will one penny for each bag (10%) go to The Big Guy?
COMMIE-RADO.... glad I got out of there!
what ever happened to that biodegradable plastic they were making 20 years ago? I thought all plastic bags was made of that by now. As for a use tax on disposable plastic, I have absolutely NO problem with that. We, as a society, make far far too much trash. Much of our “recycling” gets sent to some third world country, and then taken out to sea an dumped. The people who create all this filth ought to pay for it. A hundred years ago, no one had a “waste service” or a recycling center, we recycled ourselves, and what could not be recycled was generated at a much lesser amount. As it stands, our local taxes are paying for waste removal, our federal taxes are paying for “recycling centers” which don’t actually recycle. Let the people who generate the trash bear the cost of dealing with it.
It’s not a fee. The word fee is used to hide what it really is. It’s mandated by the state. It’s a tax, collected by stores.
... requires stores in the state to charge customers 10 cents per plastic bag if shoppers do not bring their own reusable bag ... highly contaminated by all manner of bacteria - the idea place for virtue signalers to use for their just purchased food. Too bad everyone else has to suffer to please the tyranny of the few.
You can buy those types of bags from Amazon. They are cheap and get delivered right to your door in a nice compact box.
if the rest of the state handles the bag fee at self-checkout like Boulder does now, then the check-out station asks how many bags you “wish to purchase” ... i wish to purchase zero, so that’s how many i indicate ... will continue to do so ... yes, I’m a bag pirate, so sue me or arrest me ...
From I've seen of Colorado of late, Plastic bags are the very least of their problems...
Rigged elections have consequences.
The best way to eliminate the plastic bag problem is too eliminate Danny Katz and the Rink woman
Shouldn’t it e a FELONY for any Public Employee to be in possession of any single use plastic bag then??
Just steal the carts and baskets. The “homeless” do.
Just another Tax Grab
“Here in Colorado, we have a big plastic pollution problem,”...so instead of switching to paper or biodegradable bags, we’ll do the dumb thing and tax you to give the appearance that we’re doing something. It’s all about getting more money from you anyway.
Probably following the successes of Seattle . . .
The powers that be originally promoted plastic bags to “save a tree”. In this “law” they seem to forget about all of the packaging in which many products are contained. Do those plastics not contaminate the environment in the same way as plastic bags?
What is the choice now, kill a tree or choke a fish?
Right. This is the typical commie trash lie ....... about most anything that spews out of their mouths.
Anyone who doesn’t re-use such bags is an idiot — which marks them out as commie trash, ironically.
They are waterproof, which is way better than a paper bag. They last quite a while. But, everyone I’ve touched in recent years are biodegradable. They kind of crumble after a few moths — which makes them a bit risky for poo collecting if you employ LIFO approach to storage.
CaCaLand politicos went with this years ago, also tied to the lie about plastic bags all over the place. They got grocery stores to go along with regs that enforced the 10C price. Which is corrupt as ‘Ell since I now buy the bags on line for <3C. Nice profit markup if you can get it on anything.
The continuing liberal “creating awareness” B.S. that accomplishes nothing except inconveniencing and torturing everyone.
