Scooterissima The federal government signed the Basel Convention but still lets corporations ship toxic garbage to Asia. No penalties to speak of.

Makes no sense because people will need to buy more garbage bags to fill the gap

Now do used useless non-biodegradable mask…

I wish I could find the definitive list. Do I stock up on Ziplocs? Is my food saver a paperweight? Will my meds be dispensed in paper bags? Banning straws & bags, ok see that, but what about IV bags and syringes? Back to glass? Kids toys? Someone has to have thought this through

I wish that restaurants would standardize their take-out containers so all lids and containers fit one another and so containers could be returned anywhere. Meanwhile, get lots of trips out of them or donate them to a soup kitchen.
