France bans use of plastic forks and spoons to battle 'climate change'...

This agglomerate results from the plastics released by countries in the Pacific Ocean.

The Atlantic Ocean has its own vertex, the Sargasso Sea near Caribbeans, and there is far less pollution thanks to the fact that most of western garbage is burned/methanized/recycled.



Regrettably the best approaches, such as billing CO2 emissions, are rendered impossible by globalization and the various free market rules (WTO, EU, treaties, ...) since they would simply result in more outsourcing and worse environmental outcomes.

Therefore governments have to use more targeted, inefficient and radical approaches. Environment and free market are natural antagonists.

Forbidding plastic forks is certainly a "targeted, inefficient and radical" approach. France gets the cookie for that, I guess.
 
So with ALL the massive amount of plastic...banning plastic forks is going to make a difference?

Come on now.

Whether you believe in climate change or not...this is clearly just some political, brownie points ploy.
 
small minds discuss people, take a lesson from your own signature :lamo

I wasn't discussing the person, I was discussing his refusal to see changes in the weather.

Try again. :2wave:
 
The irony in a way is missed in this post.

Banning forks and stuff in france is going to do nothing to stop climate change.
the climate is going to change regardless if you use plastic forks or not.

all this means is less picnics in france.
This is literally a stupid law.

This is literally a stupid post.
