The ban began Tuesday and follows an April vote by Town Meeting, which made historic Concord one of the first communities in the nation to make the bottles illegal.

Good for them. Everybody and their uncle has to carry a plastic bottle of water these days. Good grief!

They already do that in selected areas of Cleveland, I believe. Lotsa fines, but the sheeple are filling in line nicely.

Back in the day, I was supposed to be stationed there. Never panned out. Couldn't stop singing the Van Halen song, though.

Have the Chicoms taken over?

Long after we are extinct and long after nuclear waste has decayed to a harmless level,
plastic waste will still be there.

lol, and so who will see it? We'll be extinct.

And oil will still be bubbling up out of the earth, making tar pits, and killing baby bunnies.

Nothing on this planet lasts forever but I'll not forced to live in the stone age.
Islam requires that style of living for one purpose, control..

At this moment I would wager there are millions of enviro-Nazis hoping for the chance to work for the huge, new EPA police/army who do nothing but check people's recyclables. Obama and the Obamatons would be more than happy to dissolve our military and replace it with an enviro-army. After all, it's far more important to make sure no one throws away a broken "energy efficient" dim light bulb than we get invaded and murdered by Islamo-fascists.

They don’t call it “The People’s Republic of Massachusetts” for no reason.

The ban accomplishes nothing but make some prissy women feel good for having made a difference

I know several of these types. Most drive hybrids. They refused to believe me when I explained how the process to make the batteries was actually harmful to the environment. One said I was paid off by big oil.

If someone said 50 years ago I will make millions by selling people bottles of plain tap water (yes Aquafina is municipal water filtered, distilled and re-mineraled) they would have called them nuts.
