Document Summary
Try you best not go affirmative for this piece of legislation- there are really only two good reasons (listed below) to be pro and nothing else. This is a dogmatic and terrifying imposition of big government by all standards: plastic is a major contributor to pollution that must be curbed- here are some cool facts. Source: united nations educational, scientific and cultural organization. In the los angeles area alone, 10 metric tons of plastic fragments like grocery bags, straws and soda bottles are carried into the pacific ocean every day. Over the last ten years we have produced more plastic than during the whole of the last century. 50 percent of the plastic we use, we use just once and throw away. We currently recover only five percent of the plastics we produce. The average american throws away approximately 185 pounds of plastic per year. Plastic accounts for around 10 percent of the total waste we generate.
