Jeez - maybe the ACC has run out of lobby money? ...or maybe the county of LA is tired of cleaning up single-use plastics? Either way, the County of Los Angeles has initiated a -partial- styrofoam cup and food-container ban, eliminating these dodgy and hazardous scourges from “most county buildings and concessions”. THAT is the best news we’ve heard all week. All month!
This move marks the beginning of a yearlong period of study, in which the county administrators will assess the impact of this kind of reduction in useless, poisonous instant trash.
So…at the end of the test period, they shall ask themselves things like, “are we OK without them?”, “has the municipality saved zillions of taxpayer dollars in not having to clean them out of our storm drains, our streets, our parks, our beaches and our otherwise beautiful California countryside?”, and (I hope they don’t leave this Q out) “ain’t life grand without that crap?”. yes, Yes, YES!
This came outta nowhere (at least for us here at the RAP News Desk), and you can read all about it in the LA Times.
Let the joy begin!
