11 now charging for the plastic bags they put your items in,[url=http://www.sacburberry-pascher.fr/]sac burberry[/url]
I don't mind them charging for something, but it's pretty ridiculous. Better for the environment? Bullshit. They're easy to recycle (just put them in a bag and bring them to the store every couple weeks). If you throw them away in the garbage it's not any worse than any other plastic. I don't get what the hatred is for plastic bags.
They don't pollute any more than any other inorganic material that's improperly disposed of. Is there a landfill capacity shortage in the US,[url=http://www.juicycoutureoutlethandbags.in.net/]juicy couture[/url]? I don't think so.
It seems there are a lot of uniformed people and a lot of misinformation. Understandable since this specific bag tax is not a nation wide thing. However,[url=http://www.raybansunglassesoutleta@#$%&/]ray-ban[/url], I'm quite surprised that some people live in the DC metro area,[url=http://www.canadagoose.cc/]@#$%&[/url], and especially montgomery county MD, and have not heard about this yet. The law was passed back in May and I've heard it mentioned on the news several times since. In the past week I've seen signs at retailers notifying customers that the bag tax goes into effect with the new year.
Some information about the bag tax,[url=http://www.raybanit.eu/]@#$%&[/url].
The bag tax is for montgomery county MD. Other areas,[url=http://www.instylerionicstyler.us@#$%&/]instyler ionic styler[/url], such as DC, may already have a bag tax but those are most likely not what the OP is referring to.
The bag tax takes effect on January 1st,[url=http://www.@#$%&-airmax2u@#$%&/]@#$%& air max 90[/url], 2011. In other words,[url=http://www.red-bottomshoes.us/]red bottom shoes for women[/url], today.
While I believe the DC bag tax only applies to plastic bags and specifically grocery stores,[url=http://www.@#$%&--shoes@#$%&/]@#$%& outlet[/url], the montgomery county bag tax applies to both paper and plastic bags,[url=http://www.cocohandbagspurses-outlet@#$%&/]chanel sunglasses[/url], and applies to all retail stores. I think there are some exceptions, but I'm not sure what they are.
The bag tax is 5 cents. Supposedly, 1 cent will go to retailers for administrative fees and the other 4 cents will be used by the county for fighting water pollution.
On a side note,[url=http://www.sac-longchamps.fr/]longchamp[/url], some retailers (per their own initiative) offer discounts for using your own bags while others (I think Ikea is one) charge extra if you don't provide your own bags.
It's been here for awhile now. Toronto started it with the 5 cent bag "tax", under the guise of environmentalism. The city doesn't actually collect the money. They just mandate retailers charge it to discourage people from using plastic bags. Retailers pocket all revenue made off it. Retailers won't say exactly how much profit they're making off it,[url=http://www.cheapnfljersey-outlet@#$%&/]nba jerseys[/url], but when you figure each bag probably costs no more than two cents,[url=http://www.mulberryhandbags-outlet.co.uk/]mulberry[/url], do the math.
The problem with the reusable bags is they're not really reusable. They cost $1 but have a relatively short useful life (they're shoddy) and don't hold very much. Studies have also shown that cloth and paper bags are actually more harmful to the environment than the recyclable plastic ones. I don't know about you guys but I reuse my plastic bags all the time. Usually to carry my lunch in, or for the wastebaskets.
I'll go out of my way to use stores that provide the bags for free, or give a discount for using your own. That's called service. The other is gouging.
Why would I want to use resuable cloth bags, get them dirty,[url=http://www.lululemonoutlet-canada.ca/]lululemon canada[/url], use the energy to clean them, the hot water, the detergent, etc? I don't want meat juices soaked into my cloth bag and then have the bags sitting in a nice 74 degree house for a week plus at a time.
No you shut the fuck up, you don't get to decide what bags I use and charge a TAX for a FREAKING BAG.
Like I said, keep this shit up and I will waste even more energy and pollute even more to avoid it based on principle alone. You do NOT get to dictate how I live or what resources I use. I do.
