It's the Leftist thing to do!

Nutty Plastic Straw Nanny State PING!
What about New Jersey beach whistles?
They outlawed biodegradable paper bags and went to plastic bags, are we going to go back to paper and wood again? We used to drink from paper straws, can’t they make up their minds, global warming, global cooling...
Frankly, they should just stop the thousands of home septics that pour into The Mohawk and Hudson Rivers and it would be equivalent to cleaning up a trillion trillion tons of waste.
These people are just getting nuttier every day.
It’s all on the west coast. Where do they think the pollution on their beaches comes from? Kansas?
Since the prevailing wind blows west to east, the trash ain’t coming from the US, but of course, it’s still our fault.
I can honestly say that plastic straws are the least of the litter I see lying around.
The worst litter,to me,are disposable diapers.
When is the west coast going to ban them?
.
A few years ago, I moved to loony, progressive environmentalist utopia Maryland.
I couldn’t believe how much more trash was on the ground than the Detroit suburbs I came from. An amazing amount.
These lunatics don’t care about conservation, they care only about control.
Any restaurant that doesn’t give me a straw with my iced tea doesn’t deserve my business.
Meanwhile, a huge global study of the plastic engulfing the oceans found that more than 90% of the plastic waste there comes from ten river systems in the world. The 10 rivers that carry 93 percent of that trash are the Yangtze (China), Yellow (China), Hai (China), Pearl (China), Amur (Russia and China), Mekong (Vietnam), Indus (Tibet, Kasdmir, Pakistan) and Ganges (India) Delta in Asia, and the Niger and Nile in Africa. The Yangtze alone dumps up to an estimated 1.5 million metric tons of plastic waste into the Yellow Sea.
So western nations attacks on plastic will do what to solve the worlds plastic dumping problem?? Zero, zip, nada.
So why do the western peoples severly indoctrinated sheeple vote for such measures? Because they truly resolve some problem? No. They vote for then for one stupid reason, it makes them “feel better”. They walk away from their nonsense votes patting themselves on their back as if they had accomplished something, when they accomplished little other than increasing their meddling with the lives of everyone else.
Not to worry, China is sympatico with the France Climate Agreement so let's move on and blame Trump.
It's the Leftist thing to do!
The people who demanded plastic, and loathed the people who preferred brown paper now hate plastic and loathe the evil planet destroyers who use it.
I see a pattern.
Not allowed. You'd have to kill trees. /s
Of course I don’t agree with all of this foolishness, but you’d think BY NOW that EVERYTHING involved in take-out food would be biodegradable and/or easy to compost.
Let’s go back to paper straws and those cute little wooden spoons you used to get with ice cream cups...but made a bit bigger.
With our aging population, no one is going to be eating food that needs to be cut with a knife anyways, LOL!
And, if the Left eventually has it’s way, all White, Christian Heteros will be made into ‘Soylent Green’ to feed the unwashed masses invading our country, anyways...
P.S. Has ANYONE every been able to successfully compost an avocado pit? I was sifting my compost to get the big chunks out of it, and there had to be twenty in there - looking just as they did when I threw then in there over a year ago!
We could probably build Nuclear Reactors from avocado pits and never have a melt-down ever again, LOL!
What you say is generally true, but then we find out large western cities “export” their garbage for recycling to Asia and guess what, they don’t recycle, they throw it in the river. I read a very long article about this over the weekend. The greenies are starting to admit they caused the problem. The solutions is to burn plastic, then bury the remains according to the article.
Order bumpers fascia panels removed from government vehicles.
Exactly. This is a government created problem. If they'd simply get out of the way, I'm sure an actual solution would be found.
