Plastic Bag Banners Rebuked In New Study | The Daily Caller
At DailyCaller.com, David Williams recently reported on plastic bag bans and concluded:
"Don’t be fooled by such delusions of grandeur, plastic bag bans do nothing to fulfill their promise of lower costs economically and greater protection environmentally. It’s the opposite across the board. Bag bans offer no gains for the environment, in fact the opposite when it comes to conserving energy, and will straddle taxpayers with more costs at a time when our GDP just contracted. In just one paper there’s enough evidence to justify scrapping plastic bag bans altogether. Wanton fees, higher costs, and more regulations aren’t a prescription California, or the rest of the nation, can afford to pay for something that’s not a problem in the first place. Consumers lose and governments win, which is always a bad combination."
