someone mentioned the 10 cent bag charge
The strange thing about that charge is, although California says that we have to pay it.
BUT, that money does not go to California
California has regulated that each store or chain of stores is responsible for the collection of money, then that money is suppose to go to the Ban the plastic bag fund.
They do it that way, because the dime can not be sent directly the State of California, because then it would be a Unapproved Tax.
This all started because, when we all used Paper Bags, we were killing trees, which was a another misstatement.
Paper bags were made by the scraps of making lumber
Trees are round, lumber is square, so there is a lot of scrap left over to make plywood & paper bags.
Paper is 100% bio-degradable
So now we have to use plastic or cloth for our bags
So they charge the dime for a plastic bag, & plastic is forever
But they can make Park benches out of it
In several cities & towns in Oregon they have banned Plastic bags and now are forced stores to charge us 5 cents for a paper bag
