Re: Plastic Bag Ban
You don't tell me what to do. I have enough crap coming from government without someone else telling me what to do.
Quickly speaking environmental laws and regulations have increased our costs in the following areas:
Gasoline - mandate for ethanol (to be repealed but still for the last 10 years)
Prohibition on Open Burning - They wanted us to stop burning our trash at our homes. Now they have landfills and they still don't like that.
Closed Off Bike Tracks & Lanes That Takea Lane and Parking Away from Motorists - another conspiracy where environmentalists and government try to use to engineer us out of our cars.
Rail - 4.5% GE Tax for Honolulu, extended to 2027. Enviro wackos want us to get out of our cars and politicians are placating to them.
Bottle Tax - Prior to 2004 we never got hit with a mandated tax to recycle bottles. You lose a penny or more on every bottled drink you purchase!
Plastic Bag Ban - Stores are passing on costs to consumers. Stores have to submit report to city on bag. More costs for business.
But hell.. I'm ready. I've stocked up for the last 3 years. Environmentalists and politicians be damned.
The hallmarks of the shopping experience are as follows:
1. Product 2. Customer Service 3. Price 4. Convenience - the ban is taking away convenience!
Probably will be turning more to online purchases in the future where things are sent in the mail in cardboard boxes I can just throw away in my trash after I open the product.
