(Brownsville, Texas) The city of Brownsville has instituted a mandatory ban on plastic bags and is now assessing a $1 fine or, if you prefer, tax on those shoppers who opt for plastic at checkout.
To make the assessment more palatable to the public, it's being referred to as an "environmental fee."
No surprise here. Other locations throughout the nation are also attempting to restrict the use of plastic bags since they don't decompose.
What's interesting is that 30 years ago the same environmentalists, who are telling everyone to stop using plastic now, told everyone to use plastic instead of paper to save trees. The treehuggers were successful in getting plastic bags in every store in the U.S.
It's another liberal Oops!
