Businesses will not waste that much food. That's profit they are throwing away.

I'm pretty sure the restaurants that throw away the most food won't last.

Again this is a law that doesn't need to be there as the nature of running a business will see the the wasters will go under.

Anyone remember when recycling was expected to be done voluntarily, because it would SAVE the citizens' money?

Well now... thanks to the liberals... its mandatory...

SEE HOW THAT WORKS!

"Seattle Public Utilities requested the new rules after falling short of its recycling goals of 60 percent of trash by 2015, according to the Times. The recycling rate in 2013 was 56 percent."

Laws are passed to make money. The above is similar to what was done with energy. In order to charge higher rates, they must make YOU think that it is YOUR fault so that you do not look to the simple fact that they just want to make higher profits.

Here is how it works.
1. In order to charge higher rates and make more profit, they came up with the idea that there is only so much energy.
2. This allows the introduction of "conservation" = YOU must conserve - not them, YOU.
3. Therefore, they will be able to charge you higher rates if YOU use more. YOU will be charged the more YOU use. If you go above a certain amount of energy used, they can charge you higher rates! Because it is YOUR fault and not theirs.
5. This keeps you distracted from the pure fact that THEY are the ones making a higher profit. This is a shell game.


If conservation were truly needed for energy, why are they not screaming about all the technology products flooding the markets each year that require the use of energy?

Make sure you take a shit in every bag of garbage.

This reminds me of what they have been trying/doing in Cleveland. Basically they said each household MUST to recycle a % of its trash that is thrown away.

Well this also meant that if you personally take your stuff in for recycling and make a few bucks off of it, they will fine you heavily because they want your scrap metals and other things so THEY can pull a profit. If you donate you old newspapers and turn in your cans you’re getting a $100 dollar fine per offence. In the first year alone it was expected to generate over a million dollars for the city.

It's grocery stores and restaurants that waste all the food. There are even groups of people who aren't even homeless who go around the back of these businesses to collect some of the food waste. The other day I was at Costco and all their bananas were on the verge of going over-ripe. They were still selling them but at a discount. They should have been GIVING them away they were so bad.

There's no way to enforce this on the residential citizen. My food waste goes into a plastic waste bag under the kitchen sink. Then that is closed up and placed into the larger trash barrel bag which is also tied up. They going to start tearing open garbage bags to see what's in them?
