Speaking of idiotic “green” policies, New Jersey was going to save the planet when it banned regular plastic bags about a decade ago. Under the policy, shoppers would have to use thicker plastic bags, which were supposedly to be reusable. But most people tossed them away anyway. So the policy led to more plastic use, wasted money, and hurt the environment. Money wasted. A perfect Democratic policy trifecta. It’s called the law of unintended consequences.
