Bill 326: a ban on plastic bags - Acting Mayor

[Jon]

quote:

---

a stiff fine for illegal disposal of any plastic bags in your possession, ie. leaving the damn things on the beach or in parking lots full of dirty diapers or dog droppings. beverage cans only in cardboard cartons, no plastic rings. .25 cent deposit on beverage cans. Just for starters.

This is what I as talking about...

I under stand you Plastic Bag concern, I don't agree with the method being tried to solve the problem, but I understand the issue.

I have seen some ideas on dealing with trash and waste over the years.... and it always comes down to laws, lets take some more rights away, that way we can feel better.

its working so well all over the world, lets do it here.

Here is one for you... how about we let any store that does not use plastic bags keep 1% of the sales tax they collect? I bet you don't see another plastic bag on the island again. nothing is made illegal, no rights are removed. business gets to make a little money, State learns to do without a little... everyone wins.
