Biden Regime Looks To Ban Single Use Plastic

Do they have the legislative authority to do this? What specific law passed by the duly elected Congress gives them this authority? Didn’t the Supreme Court just rule on stuff like this?

Priorities: Biden Admin to Eliminate Plastic Cutlery in Move to Save the Planet

The Biden administration will reportedly phase out the use of plastic cutlery in all federal departments to combat “climate change.”

The administration announced the plan in July as part of its “Mobilizing Federal Action on Plastic Pollution: Progress, Principles, and Priorities,” per the New York Post.

“The President is committed to taking ambitious actions… to end plastic pollution and is calling upon the global community to do the same, with the goal to reduce the global production and consumption of virgin plastics,” the White House said.

The White House said that it will eliminate single-use plastics like “plastic and polystyrene food and beverage containers, bottles, straws, cups, cutlery and disposable plastic bags.” The order came after a previous executive order reducing the sale of single-use plastics on public lands.

While I certainly have concerns with plastic waste from a purely environmental point of view, this is nuts, and doesn’t seem to be something authorized by the Legislative Branch. It would be seemingly outside their Constitutional powers, as well. Should we go back to glass bottles? Studies have stated that glass is worse than plastic. Biden is trying to make cookouts and parties all sorts of fun.

Some Republican lawmakers called the order “laughable” and “absurd.”

“The world’s on fire and he’s worried about plastic forks,” Sen. Mike Rounds (R-SD) told the Daily Mail.

“It’s more messaging and ridiculousness, and it’s a direct shot to that whole industry,’” said Sen. James Lankford (R-OK). “It’s also clearly not where everybody is. It’s going to raise costs for a lot of folks so it seems to be just irrelevant on deficit issues.”

Do citizens even care that much? All for a scam.
