Reply to comment by AaronJudgesLeftNut in Plastic bag ban helped cut Shore trash: New report notes drop in bags, straws, paper pieces found in annual cleanup by rollotomasi07071
I skimmed the report, and they have the volunteers track what types of trash they're picking up. However, I'm not clear that they're accounting for the fact that they had 2,000 less volunteers and picked up 100,000 less pieces of trash than last year. Is there genuinely less trash or were they just able to pick up less of it?
Although the drop in plastic bag trash compared to all other trash certainly does indicate that the ban is working.

Yeah very reductionist to forget all the other people who take the train into the city, like the people who do it to drink.

Utterly heartbreaking. I'll sign any pro-roundabout petition you have.

Oh, bless. You were about to make a very powerful enemy (me, who became passionate about roundabouts exactly two hours ago).

:(
Yeah, it feels like our density will make it difficult to implement. I'm just really impressed with how they cut down on accident related deaths/injuries, so it feels like a very worthwhile investment to put them in where it makes sense.

I read this article and immediately became a big roundabout fan. Obsessed with the Roundabout of the Year Award from the U.K. Roundabout Appreciation Society.

Wouldn't be surprised if they're just using the outside for establishing shots and filming the interiors somewhere else. However, if Lady Gaga is ever there, lmk and I'll be there in five minutes.
