Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Banning plastic straws is next
I really wish that our representatives will address the issues of the state instead of going for the 'Look at how progressive I am' stuff to put on their next four-color election mailer -

It really seems like more effort to find ways to effectively recycle plastic would be better than the effort to ban it.

Agreed. Some better sorting tech would be better. I know my recycling provider is very picky and wants very clean cardboard and plastic. If it isn't clean they toss it to the landfill. That said, they're going after bills that, in the grand scheme of things, are more nanny state than actually addressing the finance issues. They always seem to have money for pet projects, but never sufficient monies for roads? More money for school districts yet teachers are going on strike? I think that is a bit more important than straws.

Creating a way to better recycle plastic would probably create jobs and keep the oil industry relevant. Seems like a lot of parties would have an interest in such an endeavor.

If it were about straws or recycling.
If it weren't for straws I'd need a bib

It's like the same lesson over and over again... It's not about the "thing," it's about making us bend our knees giving up one thing after another after another.

It's all about cost effectiveness. China reportedly already takes in 45% of the world's recyclable plastics for recycle and reuse. https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/...me/1133838002/
Do you suppose it's cost effective to collect and ship plastic waste from Colorado to China?
I'm not being sarcastic, I'm really asking.
FWIW, Plastic straws are estimated to make up (per item) less than 4% of ocean waste, and by volume, less than .25%
I'm also confused how a Colorado plastic straw (of any measurable amount) destined for a landfill, makes its way into lakes, rivers, streams, and oceans?
My Feedback
Credit TFOGGER : Liberals only want things to be "fair and just" if it benefits them.
Credit Zundfolge: The left only supports two "rights"; Buggery and Infanticide.
Credit roberth: List of things Government does best; 1. Steal your money 2. Steal your time 3. Waste the money they stole from you. 4. Waste your time making you ask permission for things you have a natural right to own. "Anyone that thinks the communists won't turn off your power for being on COAR15 is a fucking moron."
How is Colorado ever going to be like California if we don't pass California-like laws?
