Stores will be fined up to $50 for violating the ban. An exemption is allowed during emergencies.

How about thirst?

[ronnie raygun]

So if this takes how many people will be put out in the streets including the recycling industry. Just when you thought the stupid couldnot get more stupid

[libertylover]

How about thirst?

Only valid if you're a party member.

[poobear]

Sounds like vendors in VT, NH, CT, Upstate NY and RI will thrive!

[relictele]

Banning our way to Utopia. Forward!

[knarf]

I don’t unnerstan’ ... can you get six-packs but no singles ?

[JZoback]

——The ban began Tuesday and follows an April vote by Town Meeting——

Betchca the elected Town Meeting are tossed out on their asses next election...after the population of Concord figure out what an assine idea this is...

How did people ever survive without plastic bottles? It must have been as difficult as living in the stone ages. Long after we are extinct and long after nuclear waste has decayed to a harmless level, plastic waste will still be there.

[TomGuy]

They pushed a return to tap water, saying banning the bottles will cut down on plastic waste and reduce the use of the fossil fuels used to make the bottles.

Are single aluminum cans or glass bottles still legal or are all 'single' containers included? [The article isn't very clear.]

==

Per this link, all plastic containers of 1 liter or less are included, whether in packs or single. [I didn't see any comments about glass or aluminum containers. However, the law apparently only covers bottled water, not commercial drinks.]

Another DumbA$$ lib regulation. Stores are already contemplating the switch to 1.5 liter sizes. lol

==

We need legislation to ban Libs and Leftiests and their stupidity.

[From The Deer Stand]

Liberals gone crazy. These people are out of their minds.

[blueunicorn6]

I guess there are no potholes in Concord if they have time to worry about stuff like this.

[gorush]

Pity, it was a great kitchen tool...egg separater.

This ban doesn’t cover soda bottles. Go figure.

And this in the cradle of liberty.

We have municipal recycling. It appeases the envirowhackoes. No one cares if you just pitch everything in one container.

I refuse to spend one iota of effort on recycling. If the material is worth anything, then someone will pay me for it, and do all the work.

They want to income tax the rent homeowners don’t have to pay. I wonder when we start getting income taxed for the value of the recycling we don’t recycle.

An exemption is allowed during emergencies.

A manufacturer should create a line of bottled water labelled "Emergency H2.O" for everyday use.

“How about thirst?”

Carry an empty plastic soda container, or two or more, filled with cool water. I do.

I gulp that down as I am driving around and even carry it into the supermarket. Water in Panama is super clean. No need to purchase water when I can get it for fee out of my faucets.

The only exception would be San Diego as much as a love that city, but it does have the nastiest tasting water in the world.

[SgtHooper]

Good for them. Everybody and their uncle has to carry a plastic bottle of water these days. Good grief!

[Impy]

UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!!!!!
