[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That’s fine and your right to support it, of course. Understand it’s just purely performative environmentalism that likely does more harm than good while costing the taxpayers money. Read the article for a little nuance. [/quote] LOL. Explain how it does ANY harm.[/quote] The plastic bag tax has actually increased the amount of plastic bags that are used. This is because the new bags are ultra flimsly and thus break more often, require double bagging and are reused less. It's one of those ironic unintended consequences situations that arise when well meaning theory meets the reality of real life use. Ban the bags if you want but don't tax them.[/quote] The global plastic bag manufacturing market has changed their products in response to the five cents a bag Montgomery County plastic bag tax? Wow![/quote]
