Plastic Bags and Councilman Gentile in Bay Ridge
The Daily News also quoted Gentile here:
Personally, I think the bill should have excluded paper bags. We could have gotten rid of plastic bags all together – the way we got rid of styrofoam! I also think the revenue collected should have gone to something for our environment, rather than to the grocery store owners. Politicians and store owners who don’t like the bill can give out reusable bags with their name on it. This morning, the Greenmarket opened on 95th Street and 3rd Avenue. and Gentile was there cheering everyone on during a gloomy morning. Check out pics on his Instagram.
You can also hear Gentile on John Cats talk show here.
