Scare tactics by the environmentalists or do we have a real problem? I know the problem with the straws in the oceans is caused by polluters from other countries and not the USA.

I hate living in this state where we southern new jerseyans are forced to be slaves to new yawk wannabe politicians from North Jersey who force this kind of dung on us.

The same environmentalist that told us in the 1980’s that plastic bags were better for the environment than paper bags.

“They don’t chop down the Amazon Rain Forest to make a plastic bag!”

As if grocery stores were cesspools of ick already, imagine what they’ll be when the cashier handles a germ infested reusable tote that has never seen a washing machine and then handles your food.
