Shipping cartons as in cardboard boxes? Those are recyclable.
Then replace plastic bags with recyclable paper bags. Problem solved!
Though, the development of a new biodegradable bag or the development of a process to recycle existing bags may be considered.
When we currently take the garbage down to the basement, we ALREADY recycle: we put garbage into the black bag, recyclable containers into the blue bag, white bag for recyclable paper.
So, the use of the white bag or blue bag is the answer; NOT bag tax.
The city council and mayor replace thinking with dictating.
Without a REFERENDUM (i.e. a proposition on the ballot) from the electorate, the electorate needs to vote them out.
in NYC nobody is going to give a crap about paying a few extra cents for bags
I'm not really feeling an outrage myself. I was in California for a week and a half last year and they already have the bag tax there. Most of the time, I had my bag with me so I just stuffed it in there if I wasn't buying much.
There are plenty of things the government does without the general population voting on. The United States is not a democracy ; it's a republic.

Your week and a half in California is quite different than 365 days a year, year after year.
Furthermore, since when is our Empire State a follower rather than a leader.
