Gov. Phil Murphy on Wednesday signed a new law banning businesses from handing out single-use plastic bags, polystyrene food containers, plastic straws and paper bags in New Jersey. The measure, which was passed by state lawmakers in September, is seen as the strictest stance against single-use plastics in the nation.
The new regulations prohibit food service businesses from giving customers single-use plastic bags and polystyrene food containers. The bans apply to a variety of businesses, including restaurants, convenience stores, food trucks, movie theaters and grocery stores that are 2,500 square feet or larger.
Grocery stores would be prohibited from giving paper bags to customers.
I've enjoyed watching boomers seethe about this one. One guy was like "well how am I supposed to buy groceries?" Another dude i work with complained about how they're recycable and refused to believe me when I told em our municipality explicitly says not to put them in recyclables. So what do you gamers think? Has the government gone too far this time? Is New Jersey officially the new california???
