Maine bans Styrofoam

[my2¢]

Gov. Janet Mills signed a bill into law Tuesday that made Maine one of the first states to ban single-use food and drink containers made from polystyrene.

The law prohibits restaurants, coffee shops, food trucks, grocery stores and other “covered establishments” from using containers made of polystyrene – known by the trade name Styrofoam – as of Jan. 1, 2021.

More bottles and cans will be used now. Kinda washes out the environmental effects.
What else do you expect from feel good bullshit like this?

I am sure they will start banning those plastic rings that are used to hold six packs and even plastic pop bottles...

They did that in California and so now when you order take out you have to run to your car because your hands are burning and your sandwich is about to fall through the paper bag.....which will be illegal too shortly...

Good fucking god. Of course they should feel good about another step in the process. Surprising that its Maine because they've got the most useless gov of all time.

Nonetheless, we should be recycling bottles and cans. We were Carcassonne, in the south of France. Incredible. Our hotel room was in a palace room. At a restaurant, we asked if we could buy a bottle of wine. No, because they must account for all bottles. As with everything else, the US is far far behind.

Far past the time we should have done that!

You can make napalm out of styrofoam.

Maybe they haven't figgered this out yet in Tenna Sea, but glass and aluminum are what we call "recyclable".

That would be long overdue. Know how many birds they kill?

Oh wait ----- only "windmills" do that.

You mean you refuse to recycle because the Cult of Ignorance orders you not to, and you say "how high".

Fixed it for ya.

The big cities on the left coast have people shitting on the streets and leaving dirty needles contaminated with HIV but Maine is going to save the world by prohibiting styrofoam.

 

[Polishprince]

You can make napalm out of styrofoam.

Then why isn't styrofoam sent to the napalm factory and reused and recycled?

Sound like a good earth first product.

 

[Pilot1]

So now the incinerators won't work nearly as well as the Styrofoam helps get the temperature up to optimal. So instead of burning the paper and other consumables they will go to landfills. Another feel good move that sounds good to the ignorant, but makes the situation actually worse.

Gibraltar already banned "Releasing of Helium-filled Balloons". To save wildlife.

How in the bloody hell would I know why some idiots do or don't do something?

 

[petro]

Doesn't matter what you ban. Shit still ends up in the ditch, rivers, lakes and oceans. Everything from the smallest plastic to old tires and even friggen cars.
Humans are slobs.
Got assholes who come out to our rural roads at night and dump trash. Goddamed city folk. Got one busted once.

Because they've pretty much banned napalm now too. It's getting downright hard to fight a decent war anymore.

That's what killed Aquaman.

Maine pop- 1.3 million mostly lobster fishermen and retirees. Not much else going on so the Police will be able to take those ruthless mom&pop store owners into custody for selling ....stuff packaged in styroform containers. I expect the governor has a task force deputized as we speak.
