JT..
Beachdrivegirl posted that site in the other thread.. and the argument they make is equally weak now.
They site plastic industry studies as their sources.. and in one case the source was the personal observations of one of the writers. It is a stretch to call their paper a study. It’s really more of a position paper.
beyond that, did you notice that their survey didn’t ask whether people would rather pay a bag fee or whether they would rather have the increased garbage fees the bag fee would have alleviated?
nope. guess they found that irrelevant.
Maybe not so unbiased after all…
