2024-08-06 | |
[LegalInsurrection] The news cycle has been more like a hurricane![]() blow me down!... , with the war in the Middle East poised to erupt, endless drama in the presidential campaigns, and the border invasion now costing states billions. And, of course, the economy is now in a tailspin. It has been clear for quite some time that Biden’s mental capacity and ability to focus was diminishing. Perhaps that would explain the new priority for the occupant of the Oval Office: Banning single-use utensils. The Biden administration is touting a new rule as a means to reduce waste generation, but advocates counter that the government squandered an opportunity to clamp down on single-use plastics.

#2 The icon is intended to encourage federal agency buyers to phase out use of single-use plastics, which "will reduce the Government’s waste generation, Wow! One little mark can do that? Be careful what you wish for. California banned single-use grocery bags in order to save the planet. So bag manufacturers made thicker, sturdier bags that could be re-used. Thicker bags means more plastic per bag. Unfortunately, most consumers did not re-use the re-usable bags any more than they already did, so net plastic consumption went up. Oopsie! |
