NEW JERSEY - One of the strictest bans on single-use bags in the country has gone into effect in New Jersey. The ban started at midnight on Wednesday.
In Nov. 2020, Gov. Phil Murphy signed a bill into law that prohibits single-use plastic and paper bags and disposable food containers and cups made out of polystyrene foam.
Like many people, I reuse my paper and plastic bags in the garbage can. Soon, when the hysteria hits Pennsylvania, I'll have to buy kitchen bags, which are thicker and more expensive.
That useless "save the planet and feel good" by banning plastic bag bullshit is really believed as gospel by the Liberals. That's why I've adopted a "I don't give a fuck about the planet" attitude. I toss that out when confronted by the assholes and it brings the turds to tears.
Before plastic bags were removed, the people who used re-usable grocery bags were the anal type. Neat, clean, etc. Then they required every body to use a re-usable bag. Well now you have all types of nasty habit people and sick people taking bags from their cockroach ridden houses and putting them on the food belt. Grocery packer handling everyone's bag and spreading whatever between the customers. Turns on the the heavy duty plastic bags were not recyclable. Probably could create hundreds of lite recycleable bags that were reused outside the store and recyclable if returned to the store. For me, the person after me probably got a wad of dog hair from the back of the suv where the dogs roamed. Sheer stupidity when a plandemic is going on.
Kalifornia went to no plastic bags so bring your own cloth bag(s) back in 2014 If you forget your own cloth bags you can purchase recycled paper bags for 10 cents each❗️
Your own comment reveals the truth vyt not in any way that speaks highly of you. Henceforth, the truth: CA did not ban single use plastic bags. Proponents presented it as such in order to sway the people. (they lied)
Single use plastic is still lawful. Retailers may charge customers up to .10 per bag.
This means the incidence of food poisoning and like diseases are going up in NJ. Even the CDC studies report that banning single use plastic bags and mandating (there is that word again!) recycled bags greatly increase food born illness. No one treats the recycled bags as the food storage units that they become. No one washes them in hot water and disinfectant, no one stores them safely in-between uses. No one separates the bags used for meat from the bags used for veggies or dry goods. Mostly people put them in the trunk of the car, where the bag of manure for the garden was put. My girlfriend puts them back in the back of her hatchback, unwashed.
3...2...1 Why on earth is NJ suffering from an Eboli outbreak. The same reason Kommifornia did, people don't wash the bags after every use and what leaks out of the food packages festers in the bags then contaminates everything placed in the bag including hands.
Personally I HATE the damned things. I reuse them, just like noted above, but I am so sick of finding them in the water in every single stream I fish, or blowing across the fields, or stuck up in a tree out in the woods. They are ubiquitous, and trashy as hell. I use the heavy assed recycled bags, and haven't gotten sick from anything, washed or not. I say ban the single use bags, go back to paper. At least we could burn those.
Self defeating. It takes far more energy and other resources (water, among I ther things) to make a paper bag, and they don't biodegrade as advertised when buried in landfills.
As usual we're handling it wrong. Collect them and burn them for fuel, do something useful with the energy released, they are based on petroleum after all.

ReplyDeleteIf I recall correctly, it's also one of the only states where a person cannot pump their own gas. So, they got that going for them, too.
ReplyDeleteI believe Oregon has that as well

Well, I guess we can all start feeling a little better about ourselves now. I feel so much better.

When that Murphy asshole finally dies I hope they bury his carcass in a clamshell polystyrene coffin.
ReplyDeleteSymbolism.
ReplyDeleteNothing more.
Wont change squat.
The place is still a dump

ReplyDeleteThat only happens when you put the bats you bought in a wet market in them.

ReplyDeleteThis!

DeleteAnon@11:16 - They do biodegrade. I've used them in compost piles to fluff it out and worm beds before.
DeleteThis should make you happy.

Seems to me that biodegradable paper objects are less harmful to the planet than all this plastic shit. It never goes away.

ReplyDeleteSome people from CA might recall that the "Save a tree" crowd forced everyone to go to plastic bags in the first place.
ReplyDeleteThe more things change...
