Bag Fees

[Joe_K]

Wonder what I'm going to put dog poop in, especially now that we have another dog? I exclusively use KS grocery bags.

Hmm, does the State House have an address?

Asswipes got wealthy in the plastics industry with no regard for the future impact. Once again, peasants pay the price for the outcome. Years ago, milk came in glass, (easily recyclable) groceries came in paper (easily biodegradable). I remember in the 60's, my father would take a case of empty beer bottles to turn in when he bought a full case, no one complained. Except, apparently business' found it was not cost effective. And now what about all the plastic water bottles that everyone overpays for because everyone wants instant gratification. I continue to use the two water filters I have and use reusable (over and over) metal cups and bottles.

Don?t forget those ?asswipes? that started making everything out of plastic did it because those ?easily biodegradable? paper bags come from trees and they were looking for a solution to avoid deforestation of the planet. Plastic was invented as a solution to save the planet. Back when your milk was in glass bottles it just wasn?t easy to predict any long term ramifications that flooding the world with plastics may or may not have.

Also, milk is gross anyways. I do buy my beer in glass bottles. You know, to save the turtles.

^^^This, I remember the assorted "activists" crowing about plastic bags saving the trees more than 40yrs ago.

Traditional paper bag holds 10x the items than a plastic bag. Not to mention, the baggers put 2-3 items in plastic bags. It’s was annoying and absurd. Not going back to paper as an acceptable bag is just plain stupid.

Plus, how are we going to cover our books in school.

Again, it shows just how much bullshit this whole thing is. The hippies are in control. I would like to see a study about how many plastic and paper bags are used for a second purpose. I'd be willing to bet the percentage is extremely high. But, those numbers and studies would not push the agenda. CO has become such a Kalifornia want-to-be state. Polis is a parasite.

I give them credit for being consistent.

Do they ban plastic bags to save the sea turtles or paper bags to save the trees?

Them: both!

Who wants in with me to develop bags made from hemp or cannabis that are environmentally and ecologically sustainable? We?ll make billions.

Once Boulder passed the bag tax, Nederland couldn’t step on their hootus fast enough. Only one store in town complied.

What are the penalties for not complying?
