The city of Berkeley, California, has proposed levying a tax on disposable
food containers, prohibiting the use of takeout containers that can't be
recycled and requiring restaurants to use reusable dishware for dining in.

The proposal, presented by Mayor Jesse Arreguin on Tuesday, is part of the
Bay Area city's effort to completely eliminate the waste it sends to
landfills by 2020.

Berkeley already bans polystyrene and imposed a plastic bag ban that
predated California's statewide ban by several years. It is also considering
a ban on plastic straws.


And I'll bet they wonder why people are moving out of Californiastan? o_O

Leaving California: Here's who's moving out, who's moving in.


By Luis GomezContact Reporter

Every year, the face of California changes. A new report lets us know
just how much.

Wealthier people and those from states like New York and Illinois are
moving in by the droves to California while young people with less money
are bailing out to states such as Texas, Arizona and Nevada, a report
from the states Legislative Analysts Office revealed Wednesday.


it's too bad you believe everything trump says


California will match the DNC in general, No middle class. They will
be a state of filthy rich people and homeless people living in
dumpsters.

My neighbors from Puerto Rico told me the same about Puerto Rico. Poor
could not afford to leave and rich did not need to.
