If it is a “countrywide ban” doesn’t it apply to all states?
Nobody’s that stupid.
For well over a dozen years, single use plastic bags have been required to be manufactured with plastic that has about 10% starch in it. Once exposed to weather, bacteria and sunlight the starch breaks down quickly and the plastic particles left are dispersed. The plastic is then subject to UV degradation and breaks down even further. Why do you think grocery bags that are over 6 months old rip and split so easily?
*** This is a problem that does not need a solution ***, especially a stupid solution like that foisted on society by liberals that have not examined the problem, but who want to feel good about themselves.
...my city is gone!...
“Single use” my ass.
First they banned perfectly good paper sacks. A renewable resource (pulpwood). (No Susie, they aren’t logging the Sequoia to make grocery bags.)
In their stead, everyone was forced to use these plastic sacks. But they are always and ever referred to as “single use”, most people use them for all kinds of things. It’s amazing how often government “solves” the problems they created un-necessarily in the first place. Job security I guess.
