Toronto Government Goes Mad, Bans Bottled Water

Posted by RottingNation On December - 4 - 2008

Among Other Things:

[The] Council also agreed Tuesday to a series of packaging-reduction bylaws.

They include:

- A five-cent charge for every plastic bag customers use from a grocery or retail store starting in June;

- A ban on biodegradable and compostable plastic bags.

- A ban on retail bags with rope handles or metal grommets by the end of next year.

- A request the retailers also provide shoppers with alternatives to having the pay for a plastic bag, whether by providing cardboard boxes or paper sacks for shoppers.

Talk about micro-management. Who knows what kind of long-term repercussions there will be in the retail industry.
