    Does not make any shits

    Costs to “go green” will be passed on to the consumers without going to plastic replacement substitutes research and what have yous

    Most that will come out of this is an added cost at checkout for bags which will of course be sold now at profit with the same shits if not less given to the environment

      I’m not a fan of the “consumers have to change their habits despite it being a drop in the bucket compared to corporations,” but I don’t have an issue with the reusable bags. I’ve gotten used to it, and I prefer them.

      They’re like 30 cents, max. Just keep a bunch in your vehicle if you have one.

      This is provably pure bullshit.

      Sweden introduced a tax on plastic bags and consumption subsequently dropped 75%, with people instead broadly speaking switched to reusable bags.

      Good, I dont care who wins, i would gladly have hurt consumers that no future at all.

      Just that we brought this topic, there should be a CO2 tax on origon for technology, and yes i think consumers should pay the price.

      Hook, line and sinker. You failed miserably at seeing through that nonsense.

      So if what you say is true, that it will be an added cost at the checkout line, tell me how it is there’s been zero change in price at every state and country that have reeacted paper bags?

      Not enough? Fine. How did Ohio manage to use paper bags 100% of the time until plastic bags were introduced in the 1980’s and then continue to carry paper bags at no additional cost well into the late 90s?

      You got brainwashed.
