An op-ed I wrote for some local papers.
Marbletown will consider a ban on plastic bags in June.
The need is clear. When well-intentioned people recycle plastic bags along with other plastics, the bags snag on recycling equipment. Then the system must stop periodically and bags are removed by hand. Bags also clog storm drains and sewage systems, where they must be manually removed before they cause backups and flooding.

International Bag Reduction Movement:
An international movement to ban single use plastic bags has been gathering momentum. Bangladesh passed the first country-wide bag ban in 2002. Laws are in place in China, Ireland, Wales, Italy, Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Mali, Rwanda, South Africa, Pakistan, and the Philippines. In the US, bag laws are widespread among cities, towns, and counties.
In New York State, 12 municipalities have adopted bag bans, including the Village of New Paltz in 2014. Four municipalities, including New York City, have introduced bag fees. In February, NYC’s law was suspended by the New York State legislature in response to plastics industry lobbying.

With lobbyists like Rosen on the state task force, it’s easy to assume that the effort will lead nowhere. The FIA opposes plastic bag bans because retailers end up paying more, but it supports bag fees, which save retailers money.
Paper or Plastic–Or Bring Your Own?
Single use plastic carryout bags cost retailers between 1 and 2 cents each. When they are banned, most shoppers opt for paper bags, which cost between 8 and 15 cents each. Obviously, it costs much more for store owners to give away paper bags than plastic. Double-bagging adds to these costs, and shoppers pay in higher grocery prices.

Bag Fees
Retailers in Chicago responded to that city’s 2016 bag ban by substituting slightly thicker plastic bags that aren’t covered by the bag ban. These qualified as “reusable” under the law, and were given away for free–but they cost stores more than thin bags. This led to both higher costs for stores and more plastic waste. Thus the law didn’t accomplish its environmental goal, and it hurt businesses. In response, Chicago instituted a 7 cent tax (5 cents kept by the retailer) which eliminated the problem by inspiring shoppers to bring their own reusable bags.

If you want people to bring reusable bags, Said says, you have to teach them young, or “maybe charge a fee.”
Local Action
With little prospect of action by New York State, localities need to act first. Marbletown’s proposed ban is one more step in this direction. Local retailers are concerned that even a small fee might drive shoppers elsewhere. That’s why Marbletown’s law has a built-in periodic review, which will make sure it accomplishes its intended environmental purpose while not harming businesses.

Another EarthWise piece I wrote aired on WAMC Wednesday. This one was a very basic introduction to the concept of Peak Oil, which is pretty much what it had to be, since it was a 2-minute piece for a general radio audience which might not have even heard of peak oil.
I had been talking to the Institute’s volunteer coordinator about opportunities that make use of my skills, and she hit on helping them write some segments for Earth Wise, a daily 2 minute radio program on WAMC.
TK note: I get a lot of submissions for guest articles at AltenergyStocks.com, most of which are off-topic (like this one.) But this one from Whitefence Savings was a subject I’m interested in- understanding the energy use of a home before you buy, so I thought I’d post it here.
While the high winds around me last night were causing power outages and worse damage, I was going around with a screwdriver and outlet cover gaskets to stop the air leaks which I could easily feel with my bare hands.
