When will the hypocrites in California ever stop? now they are trying to ban shampoo bottles and stuff giving to homeless shelters from hotels.......
California lawmakers push to ban tiny shampoo bottles from state's hotels
Tiny shampoo bottles are causing major problems for California, lawmakers say.
California State Assembly members are spearheading an effort to ban those tiny, often complimentary bottles of shampoo and conditioner offered at hotels and resorts across the state, arguing that they are terrible for the environment.
“We know we have an enormous problem with our world, we’ve become addicted to [plastic] and it’s caused a major dilemma environmentally,” Assemblyman Ash Kalra, who introduced Bill AB-1162 in February, told ABC News.
Under the proposed legislation, lodging sites across the state, including vacation rentals, would be prohibited from providing guests with any “small plastic bottle containing a personal care product,” and would be penalized with first a warning, then a fine of $500 per violation.
Reusable or refillable bottles would not be prohibited. As noted by ABC News, in an effort to replace those small plastic bottles, Marriott hotels had announced intentions to start fitting their showers and bath areas with refillable dispensers in 2018.
