Someone else brought up the issue of recycling, to the effect of "Why bother recycling when a lot of people don't?"
It's called doing your part, and Berkeley wants to do its part.
Some cities in California have banned the use of Styrofoam; your same argument can be used for that. But in California, it's often the case that when one city or county does something, then others start doing the same.
And anyway, this ban on natural gas doesn't apply to you, so why are you getting your panties up in a bunch?
