Plastic Grocery Bags in Minneapolis

I opened my mailbox today to find the recycling brochure from Minneapolis
Solid Waste, or whatever it's called. It seems to me that the growing
requirements placed citizens will become ever more burdensome until at some
point more and more will just be ignored. Cost and time commitment to
follow all the rules to the letter are already over the top. Around our
house, I'd say we manage about 60-70% success rate. And I care to try at
least. I'd bet the majority of our residents don't give a rip at all. Some
would just as soon pay a little extra than put in any effort at all.
Sometimes the trash just needs to be hauled away, not everybody has truck to
haul stuff to Brooklyn Park or wherever, even if they had a desire to. Our
"powers that be" should keep that in mind.
There will be a diminishing return as the burden of "being green" increases.
