The column on recycling, Tee Cee's Tip, on April 15 reminded us that plastic bags will be completely banned in Colorado on June 1 per the Plastic Pollution Reduction Act. It also reminded me of a study, “Replacing Plastics with Alternatives Is Worse for Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Most Cases” published Jan. 30, 2024, in Environmental Science & Technology (ES&T). Taken together, they provide a good illustration of the inconsistency of the Colorado Legislature.
