Cuomo: Say goodbye to plastic bags

The effort is to combat litter because plastic bags do not biodegrade.

Yes, that's one of the reasons they were introduced in the first place - they could be re-used indefinitely for multiple things. It was a great idea - no need to double bag paper, no heavy items tearing open paper. But of course the enviro-cultists want another convenience for the hoi-polloi gone to serve another of their meaningless symbolic gestures, so it is.

Why? And yes he is. People knew that when they voted for him, yet they still voted for him.

And it was the crazy libs that pushed the plastic bags on us.

Statist never change. Incremental moves toward their totalitarianism.

“The effort is to combat litter because plastic bags do not biodegrade.”

This is the same crap stated by our lovely city govt and the soft headed liberals who support it. It had to be pointed out that the litter on the ground they couldn’t see from the seat of their cars was also not biodegradable. It is only appearance that matters to leftists, and a “fence flag” plastic bag is such a tiny fraction of the litter problem, but it’s all they see.

I suggest to all the leftists I speak with on the topic; Get out of your Prius and take the bag off the fence. If every Prius driving whiner removed just one plastic bag from a fence a month, there would be no plastic bags on fences.

This is simply conditioning folks. It’s designed to get people more and more used to authoritarian government and comply accordingly. Has nothing to do with saving the environment or what not.

I throw them away. I don’t give a crap about landfills. They are just future resource mines after the zombie apocalypse.

Dumbarse New Yorkers vote these idiots into office so I guess they love living under an insane dictator.

It’s NY City and Albany. If you look at the county election map from 2016…NY State appears to be a ‘Red State’. But you’re right… and the state votes for these scumbags and that is why I want out

"Lunacy, but that being said, you would think that someone would be producing a cost competitive biodegradable bag by now."

Yeah, and what do you want to bet they gave Cuomo some free stock or stock options in that company.

California should be nationalized and downgraded to territorial status under a military governor.

Don't forget the loyalty oaths and the carpetbaggers to hold office there until the Union is satisfied that the rebellious territory is properly reconstructed.

“What are people supposed to do?..................”

Make a revolutionary statement and start a thousand brushfires. Wait for a blizzard, and dump truckloads of plastic bags on government property.

Long Island says “Goodbye plastic bags,hello MS-13”.

Will cuomo be also banning the dog poop bags? They're not as biodegradable as the white plastic bags.

What will happen if people start buying white kitchen garbage bags and use them at the check out, will he ban those also?

Why is there no discussion about the truly one time use black hefty bags?
