Re: CA to ban disposable cups at restaurants for eat in
Washing cups/plates/ etc requires hot water, requiring more energy use, detergent which is a pollutant, and creates waste water. More pollution and energy use than a paper cup, which comes from a tree that is grown to make paper or even a foam cup.

Re: CA Attempts to ban super thick plastic bags
One thick bag equals two or three of those micro thin plastic bags that rip apart and puncture easily. No energy saving or waste reduction at all. Why don’t you just reuse the thick plastic bag?

Re: CVS pulling out of Puerto Rico (22 stores)
Being that PR is a U.S. commonwealth, not a state they have lower wages and can buy from sources not available to stores in the States. Also most of our pharmaceuticals were made in PR until the 90s, I don’t know if some of that is still in existence.
