Another week is underway blogger buddies and today's topic is about forced recycling.
Apparently San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom thinks that "enforced" recycling is the answer to the city's trash problems.
He floated the idea of having mandatory recycling, like some other cities do, and went one step further, creating the first composting law in the country.
Customers will get colored bins and God help them if the coffee grounds are found drizzling through the wrong colored bin! Gavin is proposing a $1,000 fine for violators. I suppose they will also have to create "trash police" to enforce such a draconian law!
TODAY'S THREAD:
Should people be forced to compost - even if it means enforcing the law with big fines?
