Comment on Potential Plastic bag ban fails in California by Anthony van Leeuwen

You might be surprised. The people will rise up and put the issue to the voters. Most people do not want a bag ban. If they had wanted to use reusable bags they would have done so. Each person who does not use a reusable bag votes every time they shop.

In California, one group of opponents are working on putting the issue on the ballot. Then people for and against the ban could argue the issue in the media and the voters will make the final decision. I will post their press release on my blog later today.

You’ re probably right. Now if the politicians could just get out of the way and get this done, we’d all benefit from it.

John:

My understanding, or at least from my memory, is that it’s talking about the Tetra Pak boxes. I could be wrong. If you do some research and find out anything else about this please let me know as I’d like to let others know about this as well.

And my apologies for not replying sooner. You were right – your original question slipped by me. Thanks for persevering to make sure I saw it!

Thankfully, Massachusetts has a few different GMO labeling bills under consideration. Hopefully, one of them gets through!

Check out my new blog: http://fighttheplasticbagban.com/

On my blog I have a “downloads” menu item. If you click on that there are a number of papers that I have written that can be downloaded.

One paper titled “Negative Health and Environmental Impacts of Reusable Shopping Bags” deals with the health issues more extensively than you did in the article above. For example, in addition to bacteria, viruses and virus transmission with reusable shopping bags could make other sick. Also, people who have AIDS or a suppressed immune system may be more sensitive to bacteria in reusable bags then people who have normal immune systems. About 20% of the population fit in this category.

When bag bans are implemented people always complain about all those plastic bags that end up in the landfill. But they have never stopped to calculate all the stuff going into a landfill after a plastic carryout bag ban compared to before. It would surprise you to know that 3 to 4 times the amount of material goes into the landfill post ban than pre ban. Those plastic carryout bags are sure looking good. see my article titled “Fact Sheet – Landfill Impacts” for the details and the calculations.

There is much more.
