"California has a plastic bag problem — but not for long. California Governor Gavin Newsom recently signed a law fully banning plastic shopping bags in grocery stores, updating a decade-old ban that made plastic pollution in the state worse, not better....."

This is a good idea in theory, but expecting everyone to either pay for paper bags or bring their own shopping bags all the time is completely unreasonable.

[ChumpDumper]

It's reasonable. You just have to actually do it and not be a petulant child about it.

[Ef-man]

At first it seemed outrageous but I am already accustomed to having reusable shopping bags. No big deal and less trash strewn in neighborhood.

Almost like Aldi's shopping carts. Seemed outrageous on first thought to pay a quarter to use their cart but you get your quarter back if you return the cart.

[ChumpDumper]

I just take the cart out to the car and put all the groceries in storage bins or cardboard boxes.

Stupidly easy.

In 2024, the climate is a Teenager priority


Also: "“The plastic bag ban is the main reason for the hepatitis outbreak,” says the homeless man who writes the Homeless Survival Guide. “The hepatitis outbreak was completely predictable — it's why I left San Diego.”

Homeless people learned long ago that pooping in plastic-bag-lined containers meant you could wrap the session up and dispose of all the stuff without touching it, he said in a long email."



Maybe this is Newsom's convoluted way of tackling homelessness? Indirectly kill them off :lol

Tell that to the hurricane victims. Your "adult" priority is drinking.

Because Europe doesn't have any homeless.

[ChumpDumper]

Because Europe doesn't have any homeless.

Germany does, however, have a plastic bag ban.

Stupidly easy.contrariwise, a stupidly prevalent problem of single-use plastic

I know and have met Europeans that visit here and freaked out that the stores actually give out plastic bags for free. I think if you really were living there, you'd know this.

[Thanos]

Or how about instead of demonizing the use of bags and treat people like assholes for expecting a grocery store to provide bags like they’ve done forever, maybe the government does it’s job and creates means and incentives for people to recycle their single use plastics, and stop sending all of America’s recyclables to landfills in Asia.

[Thanos]

“We can’t do our job competently, therefore we’ll pass a law that inconveniences everyone else and doesn’t actually get to the root cause of the issue.” Typical government stupidity.

110 percent.

The green new deal radical progressivtards act like we're children for being against degrowth and deindustrialization, against big government taking away our comforts, (legal) guns, and other rights... just proves that today's modern Democrats are not the party of 20, 40, 60 years ago, but rather the party of elitist, new-world-order globalist oligarchs out of touch with middle America and have utter contempt for traditional American values.

I'd like to see hypocrites like ChumpDumper spend a whole summer in his home in Austin living the green new deal way. No air conditioning, no fossil-fuel electricity, no non-EV car, no cheating by fleeing to another state/city or staying in a hotel.

It works at Costco (or Sam's if you're ghetto) because those are larger, bigger-ticket items. You can pack meat and other stuff in the used cardboard boxes and then put them in the recycle bin.

It doesn't really work for 100 smaller items from H-E-B, many of which cannot get squashed without getting ruined... it would be a pure hassle. If you don't understand this, you're an elitist and should have your voter card revoked.

It definitely doesn't work for large (e.g. 2- and 3- liter) bottles of pop. Of course, you commies want to get rid of pop and make us all drink tap water anyways.

:lol how stupid do you have to be to not know about cardboard boxes?

Paper bags worked just fine before plastic bags.

That said, it's a stupid policy.

[ChumpDumper]

This is how we know it's a good policy.

I can't see making an incentive big enough for everyoneo want to recycle plastic bags. I mean, I've never done anything with aluminum cans/ glass bottles other than throw them in the recycle bin to be shipped off to India

[koriwhat]

Lol no plastic bags.. wow what a big deal considering everything you buy in a grocery store is bagged in plastic. it's as funny as paper straws sold in plastic bags like I saw out in LA while vacationing. Stupid is as stupid does and BlaKKKe is dumber than dumb.

[CosmicCowboy]

We use reusable bags both here and in Colorado. I always have 2 or 3 in my truck. I colorado you can still buy paper bags if you don't have enough reusable bags.

That is law here in Maryland. You either get paper bags (if they have any and didn’t run out) or you have to remember to bring your reusable bag. Not going to lie sometimes it can be a pain

Waaaay back when I worked at heb as a kid, I remember the cost because they hammered into everyone there at the time: each paper bag cost the store 5 cents. Each regular size plastic bag, 1.5 cents. Each junior bag, .75 cents.

They also sold us on the plastic being more biodegradable than paper because "paper needed light to decompose".... which of course turned out to be bullshit
