Bag Ban Violated our Rights?

Reading Aubrey's blog made me grasp her piont ; we are getting our rights violated,  but the state would be spending more money than it should to educate Austenite’s about waste-reduction. In my opinion that would be a waste of money because not all of Austenite’s would follow the recommendations. Also that money could have better use regarding preservation and a clean environment. With this bag ban that has occurred it has made everyone be more environmental conscious, which in my opinion is not a bad thing; we need to take care of our city.

Regarding the health issues the bags possess when we use them is a serious threat to everyone because that would increase the number of people getting sick, which would increase the antibiotic usage, which would then increase antibiotic resistant bacteria. Antibiotic resistant bacteria is something that we have to look into because it is getting difficult to treat infections.

I somewhat agree with you there should have been an educational approach to the bag ban, so it could of inform residents the reasons why it’s necessary and to educate residents how to care for the environment. But my question is would that have worked? There are people out there that don't care about the environment; would that money have gone to waste? In my opinion there should have been a better way to approach the bag ban without having people feel like they were getting their rights violated.
