Boulder likely to impose 10-cent bag fee

[hatidua]

Some stores already had this policy....kind of. Whole Foods offers a $.10 credit per bag if you bring your own. You can donate your $.10 to charity, or have it deducted from your bill.

Naw..don't abandon Boulder. I would love to open a coal plant or plastic factory in Boulder.

Serious note: the hypocrisy... The same city is making tons of $ from plastic manufacturer/retailers such as Magpul!

I need those plastic bags to put stinky diapers and dog shit it.
Maybe I can take them up to boulder and sell them on the black market

Just another excuse to Tax the people. Fuck planet Boulder.

The checkers need a lesson on how to pack groceries. They put 2 cans in a bag and that's it. Or 3 small items. I tell them to load em up. I will deal with it if the bags tear. Which they never do. I can often consolidate 4 of their loaded bags into 1.

Will my foodstamps be considered a valid currency to pay my bag tax?

[Ah Pook]

Who knows, maybe next they will start a fat tax on sodas and candy.

Reusable bags are a menace to the public health.

Plus we use the plastic bags for emptying our cat box.

If that kind of insanity ever comes where I live, I'll be brining back any of the bags with a hole in it for replacement or refund. If I'm paying for them then I sure as hell ain't gonna put up with bags I can't use later.
