Does the plastic bag ban in New Jersey really make any sense?
New Jersey started their plastic bag ban which means that stores cannot give you a bag when you shop at their store. You have to bring your own reusable bag or plastic bags that you already own. This ban officially started on May 4, 2022.
I have my own bags, but this ban is really starting to irk me already. The government should have done this when the pandemic was over because this is one more thing that we have to worry about and be concerned with.
On May 5, 2022, I was in a store and an elderly lady asked where were the bags. She forgot that the stores no longer have bags. Another customer gave her a bag, but this could have quickly become a real problem for her.
This is already an added expense for shoppers that are already struggling with the high price of gas and food. We don't need another thing that we have to pay for this year.
This plan wasn't well thought out at all. Someone needs to create bags that break down more effectively and that would definitely solve the problem.
We will have to bring bags with us to places where we wouldn't ordinarily need a bag just in case we have to make an emergency trip to the store.
New Jersey with its high rents and cost of living, is really becoming a place that isn't desirable to reside in.
