Bags & Take out boxes illegal per CO Interest Group

[KAPA]

I see we have a whole new slew of laws in place on January 1 that ban bags altogether, including takeout boxes for food, etc.

In the articles that talk about this, they all cite the Colorado Public interest research group that provides all of their statistics on how bad bags are for the environment.

this whole idea pisses me off, but what makes me even more mad is they are propping up what is clearly a democrat funded organization and basing laws off of their conclusions.

Welcome to Colorado.............. you are a RKI............... a reasonably knowledgeable individual...........
Ignorance is bliss though.................. stop applying logic to the Dems nonsense.

Outfits like CoPIRG are successful and very influential here in Colorado. The media and other "public interest" groups support and promote them and each other very well. They are experts at making folks think they are "informed" and making a "difference" by supporting them and swallowing the garbage they espouse.

Influence Watch is a good place to self educate.

I remember when we were told we'd be taxed a dime for every plastic bag used... but when that law went into effect they immediately began taxing paper bags as well.

I reuse the bags for lunches and wastebasket liners... they are not being tossed into the river. They get filled with trash then are placed inside a full sized trashbag with other trash.

Why do they turned a blind eye to all the trash and filth ONE homeless person generates?

I’m glad the post commissary doe play by those laws. They hand em out like candy.
I’m in CA right now and it is miserable. How can anyone live like this?

But remember, we switched to plastic bags in the first place to save the world because paper bags were killing the environment due to deforestation...

Never. Ending. Loop.

I think the problem was they are finding carcinogens in the wildlife and waters. Then you eat few quail, rabbit, etc. It is an eco thing. I always distill my drinking water. The crap I remove is unreal. The local well water cannot be used due to radionuclides, according to local authorities. The bags I find on the praire, are usually brittle and crumble if they are exposed enough.


You won't really care, until you get cancer.

Yes, I find it funny that we switched. I always feel like it's a test at my grocery store when they ask "paper or plastic?" I worry I'm going to say the wrong thing. I want paper but I always get plastic because we use the bags over and over for a variety of things...and anything we have left over the family in Colorado takes them when they visit.

Can't tax a bum.

If the establishment offers bags, they have to be 100% recycled paper bags. People are going to be filling their pockets with produce at the checkout lines.
