New York Imposes Plastic Bag Recycling
Posted by Dave Blount at December 14, 2008 10:19 AM
Big Government's meddling moonbattery has reached a new extreme of absurdity in New York:
Starting next month, many New York retailers will be required to start recycling plastic shopping bags under a bill Gov. David Paterson signed into law [Saturday].
It applies to stores with more than 10,000-square-feet of retail space or those that are part of a chain with more than five stores, each with more than 5,000-square-feet of retail space. They'll be required to put out bins where shoppers can deposit the bags, recycle the returned bags, and keep records of how many are recycled.
With every month that goes by, the burden of idiotic regulations becomes more onerous. Collectively they are crushing the life out of our economy. Consequently, we'll be leaving the next generation a lower standard of living than our parents left for us.
Next we'll be required to mend them when they rip.
On a tip from Wiggins.
