Oh hey just like California.

Except we pump our own gas here and it's legal to smoke weed. Just not at the same time, because that's dangerous.

Boo fucking hoo. I live on Long Island in Suffolk county, where they started charging for plastic bags this year. It's a nickel per bag. The only people complaining about it are the type of people who would throw those bags out the window before they'd ever recycle them, and generally people who spending an extra fucking 15 cents per week isn't going to matter to.

At this point in time there's absolutely no excuse to not have a collection of reusable shopping bags. They fucking give them away for free at every event on the planet, so if you don't have any, you must be living under a fucking rock.

You're shooting the messenger by immediately dismissing the story just because the Post published it first. Just read the damn article because you sound exactly like they did before they traveled to see the rural America they believed was backwards, no longer useful, un- or under-educated, and angry and filled with a trace of bigotry.

you actually can't recycle plastic bags, which is one reason so many localities are wanting to ban them. gums up the recycle machines when people do that.

I enjoy the law against drugs here in Jersey. Can't let the potheads or crack addicts win.

On topic, it's literally either a nickel for plastic bags or 99 cents for a reusable bag bought at the supermarket I work at. If anything can stop the pollution in the Meadowlands, I'm for it

This has been a law where I live for like 5 years now and people still show up without their own bags.

And people still get pissy about it, as if carrying a 2 ounce bag into the store is somehow more laborious than carrying the 30 pounds of groceries out. I have no sympathy for those lazy sacks of shit.

it's bs

they don't give af about the environment. charging people doesn't put a significant worthwhile dent in saving the planet. people will still always use and need plastic bags.

they will still be producing the same amount of plastic bags and instead of giving people bags for them for free to reuse for their bins or whatever, they will just be charging them for it. or people will have to buy their own plastic bag packs

it's just a way to get more money out of people.

unless you own these businesses I can't believe people support this cuck shit.

if they were serious about this shit they would straight up ban and criminalise plastic bags, but that would be silly

It does reduce the number of plastic bags, actually.

I live in Houston. They give you plastic bags for everything. I visit Austin often, and I hardly ever see a plastic bag. It works.

Paper bags do not work as well.

That said, around here you have to pay 5 cents a bag... as long as the bags are good, I like them. They make good dog poop bags or bags for throwing old oil filters into. I never throw out old bags after one use.

The only thing that would annoy me is I don't know how many bags I'm going to need. When I go shopping, it's a huge haul and my entire cart is filled up. So it'd be kinda annoying trying to gauge how many bags I actually need.
