After Canada banned single-use plastics, New York’s new ‘Skip the Stuff’ law went live this week, banning plastic utensils from being offered
Remarkably – and sadly – New York City’s latest effort to curb single-use plastics, as with so many government initiatives, may have its heart in the right place but has its head in the clouds.
Similar nonsense is happening with the Canadian single-use plastics law, a widespread ban on such items as bags, cutlery, food containers and straws. Hot out the gate, the ban has already displayed its inadequacies. It’s truly hard to believe that of all the serious problems facing a major city like New York – crime, homelessness, migrant overcrowding, failing infrastructure, businesses fleeing – this is what keeps Mayor Eric Adams awake at night.and all the other government leaders around the world who seem to zero in on such trivialities in the face of bigger issues.
