Health concerns trumping green virtue signalling
It was a inane green tax/ban to begin with, disposable plastic bags have less impact on the environment than paper bags and don’t carry bacteria around like reusable bags.
States that introduced “green” regulations that taxed single-use plastic grocery bags in an effort to eventually annihilate them are now welcoming them back as health officials caution of possible contamination with reusable bags.
Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont (D) said Thursday he was suspending the ten-cent tax on single-use plastic bags at grocery stores and other retail businesses as one of his actions “to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.”
