@Salmon Man I sometimes feel like there is so many people offended by the sheer existence of vegans and it sometimes seems to me that more people proclaim that they eat meat rather than saying they are vegan. That might be my surroundings, but I still find it funny that the stereotype sticks. And that people try to bring up veganism at any given point, just to make a point that isn't even necessarily grounded in reality.

wouldn't charging for plastic bags be just "more capitalism"? It allows companies to see a slight increase in their profits while reducing emissions at the same time. As a free-market supporter this makes sense on so many levels, its a win-win.

dev02ify While true in certain cases free market as far as I understand is more toward large companies not having a buttload of power. Sorta promoting small businesses? But yeah the less regulation in there is certainly part of it. However in some circumstances less regulation is good, like say if the regulation has become outdated and no longer useful, or if its putting a stranglehold on the business. Less regulation is not no regulation after all, companies shouldn't be able to do as they please because at the end of the day they aren't human, they're a large system designed to turn a profit, no matter what. Loosening regulations a bit is something that's good or bad depending on the circumstances, and really that's what it all comes down to, circumstance dictates a lot more than you'd think it would in business. Anyway I've said my piece, feel free to correct any factual errors, please do show me your reasoning though, "your wrong" never really helps all that much. Have a good day, god knows you wasted a few minutes reading this mini essay in the KZitem comments. Well, hopefully not wasted, but you know what I mean.

Most coffee shops I've seen who accept reusable cups do something similar. Fast-food style ones like Dunkin don't accept cups except for basic coffee/tea. Depending on the drink, the cup costs more than the beverage does for the seller. For example, a fountain soda cup often costs more than the soda inside it. If the seller just discounted the cost of the cup, that's still decent savings for both the seller and the buyer. Less waste and more money for both.

What I do not understand about the US is you have so many renewable energy sources like the hot and burning sun in Arizona, Carlifornia or Taxes, wind in on the costs and so much geothermal energy. Honestly, a lot of countries would do a lot to have so much opportunities to produce energy but you still rely on inefficent and expensive fossil fuels which will never guarantee the energy-independence of the US. If the government and the companies worked together, the US could go entirely on green renewable energy, could create high-paid sustainable jobs and could even help extremely to stop global warming.

The is a polarization about renewable energy. If it isn’t an exact perfect solution it’s thought of as frivolous and wasteful. You talk about solar energy and someone against it will tell you how sand gets on the panes and would cost money to keep clean. Or that jobs would suffer in the other industry. Windmills kill birds and bats. Etc etc. I even tried showing the person against windmills an article about a tower that shifts with wind to collect the energy instead of having the blades. Plus a lot of people have a nimby complex. They don’t want to see it. Basically what I’m trying to say is some people really don’t want to change as frustrating as it is. You’ll always get a “but what about ...” response. For example I use cloth diapers for my baby and I hear “but what about the energy it takes to wash them. It’s not really any better than disposable is it?” 🙄

Its also worth pointing out that keeping "the grid" powered is a bit more of a complicated process than is initially thought. For example, California has a problem. The duck curve. This is a curve which shows energy demand vs energy production, in california these days, it swings in a "duck shape" throughout the day. In the morning when people wake up, its kinda in the middle, the sun is at an angle and produces a little energy, but few also use much energy in the morning. The problem is in the noon, energy production peaks because max sun, but few use the electricity. So California must dump it somewhere or risk too much energy being on the grid and causing problems, and they often pay places like Arizona to take it from them. At night, people come home, the lights turn on, but panels arent producing anything, so demand spikes. The current way this is taken care of is by throttling power generation stations, but not all stations can be throttled easily. Natural gas stations are the easiest to crank up and down, but things like nuclear for example... its actually impossible to shut down a nuclear plant at one moment, shutdown takes weeks. And now we have this added layer of things like solar and wind depending wildly on conditions around the place generating power so its harder now. The ideal solution is energy storage, but despite what Ol' Musky says, batteries are still very inefficient and IMO a poor solution to the problem. Other methods aren't much better. Renewable brings its own challenges.

People tend to use electric cars because of all the benefits the government gives them such as free parking, free charging, low yearly fees and much more. We are not perfect when it comes to being eco friendly but other countries cloud learn a lot from us.

OspreyBravo18 There would be almost no effect if we're talking about the carbon emissions. recent studies show that if all of the world's countries were to simultaneously drop their production of carbon emissions right now by what I believe they said was 50% or something along those lines, that we would only see a drop of atmospheric carbon dioxide of around .08%. On top of this, Carbon dioxide is actually fairly good for the environment. Carbon dioxide DOES increase the temperature of the environment by a very slight margin, allowing plants enzymes to speed up, which, ironically, allows them to carry out photosynthesis more quickly, and in the process use up carbon dioxide. The abundance of co2 in the atmosphere helps the plants as well because it also allows them to carry out photosynthesis more frequently. this creates a cycle in which the plants use the carbon dioxide being created. And even if plants can't keep up with the co2, it won't matter because water vapor is the real culprit for global warming and cooling. Even big climate change supporters will tell you that water vapor is the biggest greenhouse gas. The reason that carbon dioxide doesn't have so much of an effect is that co2 reflects just as much heat out of the atmosphere as it traps in. In fact, during the ice age there is evidence that there was a lot of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere www.telegraph.co.uk/news/earth/environment/climatechange/4061092/Greenhouse-gases-could-have-caused-an-ice-age-claim-scientists.html Most scientists who are on the climate change train would claim that the environment would be hot and the surface would be cold, but this doesn't make clear sense, since the same scientists claim that smaller portions of co2 in our atmosphere would singificantly heat up our surface and our atmosphere. The much more likely scenario is that both the surface and the atmosphere were cold. the co2 would block out heat from getting in, and their would be less water vapor in the atmosphere because more of it than today would be on the surface as ice and snow. And even if their is some terrible global warming catastrophe, then we could fairly easily curb the problem with genetically modified plants. Scientists have already started working on trees that can do this, and I can't remember the exact name but I believe they've already got one that works fairly well.

This isnt ment to shame anyone but I live in Germany and since I can think bags cost money here. I barely remember times when my mom took me with her when grocery shopping and she didnt bring a reusable bag. Same goes for reusable coffee cups. Its such a normal thing for me to pack my own to go cup and glass bottle for drinks when I leave the house for work. How is this still not normal for USA? The thing I am most shocked about is bottle deposit. So many people never heard of the concept.

Just a quick reminder: In Germany 3 billion coffee cups are thrown away annually. That is 320.000 per hour. Yeah Germany does a lot thinks better then the U.S. but it would be ignorant to imply that that would be enough. If everybody consumed like people of the U.S. we would need 5 planet earths. For germany it would be 2,6. Far from ideal -and still far from being sustainable.

Landfill space doesn't make the "top 10" of ecological issues facing us today. Inert, non-bio-degradable trash "just sits there"; it doesn't break down into anything harmful (by benefit of not being bio-degradable). The disease problems (rats and other vermin) is from the "bio-degradable" stuff. A plastic bag in a landfill "just sits there."

just want to add to the bag thing, here in oregon we banned all single use plastic bags in stores. we were selling heavy duty reusable ones for 5 cents, or paper ones for the same price. now places like walmart here are completely getting rid of all non reusable bags (including paper). it has significantly cut down on the plastic bags outside.

It's pretty funny watching this from Germany where plastic bag fees have been around for many years all over the country, and where u have to pay extra for almost any bottles and get reimbursed once u return them, and where in any small town or big city in the country, glasses are separated and recycled by color, same with paper, compost, plastic & metal. There is a container in every small street. Well it might not be surprising to hear that these things do not exist in a country where its people elect a degenerate man-child liar to run over 300 million people and beyond.

I remember the first time I saw how people in Belgium returned their beer bottles to the liquor store. It was amazing to see this huge reuse effort actually working in parallel to shopping for new beer. Customers had plastic containers (think milk crates for beer) that held 20-30 bottles each and they would arrive with 2 or 3 of these cartons to refill with new beer bottles each trip. A small fee to buy your first carton and then you're on your way returning and reusing.

Rap John Mysterious in the Netherlands we have this and it reduces so much waste, it's great! A lot of soda bottles and cans are now made from 100% recycled material, PET for bottles for instance. For the consumer it isn't that hard to do, and while it can be costly for supermarkets as they are in charge of collecting the bottles and cans, it's generally seen as a good service to the customer. Producers themselves don't really incur extra costs.

Hi... I noticed this was happening at my local library, so I wrote their director and asked if they could switch to at least ASK patrons if they wanted a receipt. They adopted it in just a couple of days. Writing these companies directly does work -- more so when it's at a smaller local level, than at say, the government level (but that is important too, you just won't see the effects quickly or ever). Right now, I'm in the process of writing each and every library director in my state to do paperless receipts if they don't already do so. FYI: I just found out that Bob's Stores will also email you a receipt, but you have to request this at the time of purchase, so I put a reminder directly on my Bob's key fob "No Receipt Please" so they and I both see it. :)

Good thing she moved back to California.
