I'd wonder if they really have the authority to do that, too. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for businesses themselves deciding to switch to more environment-friendly alternatives to petroleum-made plastics such as biodegradable plastics. However, I'm really not sure if a city can tell businesses to do that or not. We'll probably only know if a court gets in and decides whether governments can have this kind of authority.
Right, especially because it's an environmental issue. It's not like they are the EPA. Isn't there a congressional bill that authorizes the EPA to exist? It's not like congress also authorized random city councils.
