L.A. City Council Votes 13-1 to Ban Plastic Grocery Bags
The Los Angeles city council voted 13-1 to ban plastic shopping bags in grocery stores. There is a lengthy review and implementation process to follow but if all goes to plan within about 10-12 months the ban will be in force. Paper bags will still be available for a ten cent fee. I like … Read more
What could go wrong? LA Set to Ban Paper and Plastic
Democrats don’t think things through. (Progressive Republicans are no different, to be fair.) They enact policies in response to the echo chamber of voices in their ideologically isolationist heads, all the things Edmund Burke warned us against centuries ago. The result is almost always bureaucratic nonsense, another small loss of freedom, massive expense with little … Read more
Nantucket’s Ongoing Offshore Wind Folly, Microplastics, Foam, Fiberglass, and Bisphenol A
New Hampshire residents will understand when Nantucket resident Pat McEvoy says the Feds jammed green energy (offshore wind) down their throats and that “We were not represented in this process.” Development in the Gulf of Maine has been fast-tracked thanks to State Senator David “This will look good on my resume” Watters. Dead whales didn’t stop it. … Read more
Paper Straws Require More Energy and Carbon Emissions to Make Than Plastic and …
I’ve been doing some day trips that land me in or near Portsmouth, New Hampshire’s mecca for poorly thought-out anti-plastic policy. From ‘shopping bags‘ to paperboard containers, their war on plastic is relentless, even when those replacements are worse for the environment.
Bananas: DOJ Announces New Training Efforts Following WH Cocaine Debacle
After a lengthy and thorough investigation of the mysterious bag of cocaine found at the White House the Department of Justice has fallen under scrutiny for their lack of success in finding either DNA or fingerprints on the contraband.
Replacing Single-Use Plastic with Single-Use Paper Is Worse for The Planet™
Democrats everywhere have a list of things. Once elected, appointed, or hired into the bureaucracy, the job is to check the boxes even if they make no sense or contradict the stated policy goal. And none of them make any sense, and all of them contradict the advertised outcome.
Bananas Inc. Introduces: New Singles Sites!
Are you tired of the same old dating sites that appeal to the sappy hopefuls of the world? We are too.
Because We Cannot Live on COVID and Election News Alone – Single Use Plastic Bags Are Still Safer and Better for the Environment
Biden wants to bring back the Paris catastrophe and Mass AG Maura Healy is looking for paid guns to sue people into compliance. So excuse this interruption in COVID and Election Chaos coverage for a special message about thin-film plastic shopping bags. Warning: Libs will be Livid!
NH Dems (Not Unexpectedly) Vote for Bans, Taxes, Rate Hikes, Vote Fraud, and Murder
I know, we don’t do these often enough. Sharing important votes by local state reps. Here in my town of Merrimack (where sharing their votes is an attack!), we’re still laboring under the weight of four Democrats with the left’s tendency toward tyranny.
NH Democrat’s Regulations on Plastics and Styrene Are Worse Than Doing Nothing
The Democrat mantra is, hey, let’s force you to behave the way we demand and then claim it will make the world better. What if it actually made things worse? What if the regulatory demands they want for plastics actually exacerbate the problem they claim they will fix?
Pacific Ocean Plastic Garbage Patch Kids Come Back (Essentially) Empty Handed
Is there “plastic in the ocean? Yes. Is it the ecological catastrophe advertised? Nothing ever is, so please learn this and live it. Every single emotional plea or legislative exercise from the left is to solve one and only one problem. You having more control over how your money is spent than the government.
NH Vape Sales up 76% Since Massachusetts Banned Vaping in the Bay State
Charlie Baker is a registered Republican in Massachusetts. Even real Republicans know what that means (Democrat) – and Democrats surround him. So the knee-jerk 4-month vaping ban in the Bay State was not surprising. Nor was the massive uptick in sales in New Hampshire.
New Research From MIT and Woods Hole: Nature Breaks Down Plastics in the Ocean
You’ve heard the story. Convenience plastics must be banned in America (and New Hampshire) to save our oceans. That’s two lies in one. First, most of the plastic that makes it into the ocean comes from Asia. Second, a new study proves that once there, nature will break it down.
California Bans Tiny Shampoo Bottles in Hotels – Creating a Bigger Problem Than They “Solve?”
If you have a majority of Democrats in charge of something, they are looking to California for inspiration. The left coast is Moonbat Mecca, and this latest attempt at regulation is classic leftist-idiocy.
Portsmouth Bans Styrofoam?
New Hampshire is a Dillon Rule State, not a Home Rule one. This means, only the legislature can pass laws, unless they’ve passed a law the ‘enables’ municipalities to create their own. These must be specific enabling statutes, such as the one that enables planning boards. RSA 673:1 – “I. Any local legislative body may … Read more
Dems Proposed NH Bag Ban Created 52 Million More Pounds of Less Environmentally Friendly Waste in California
When the Democrats took the majority in Concord, they crammed every far-left policy into the legislative hopper. One of their priorities, certainly not anyone else’s, was a ban on so-called single-use plastic bags.
New Hampshire Wants to Ban Bags While Oklahoma Just Banned ‘Bag Bans’
As New Hampshire’s Lefty-Majority pushes to inconvenience everyone to satisfy their environmental virtue-signaling insecurities, Oklahoma is protecting small-business and consumer choice. Gov. Kevin Stitt just signed a bill that prohibits towns from bans or fees for single-use plastics.
The Assault Plastics Bill
No, I’m not talking about ‘plastic guns’. I’m talking about HB102, which would add ‘the distribution of single-use plastics to consumers’ to the list of things towns can regulate. The idea is to let towns ban the use of plastic bags in grocery stores, or plastic drinking straws in restaurants. But ‘single-use’ covers a lot of ground. … Read more
Churches Could Be Fined for Using Plastic Stirs When Handing Out Free Coffee
When you vote for someone, they suddenly inherit the super-human ability to know better. Or, more likely, the sort of people who run for public office are just predisposed to be busy-bodies. We know this to be true at every level of government with few exceptions. Down in DC the city council has no exceptions. … Read more
