What New York Liberals Want To Ban Now Could Affect How Millions Get Ready Every Morning
Government regulation has long been a topic of contention among residents of New York City as a succession of leftist leaders has vowed to take away citizens’ freedom of choice in an ostensible effort to save them from their own bad choices.
Among the most notable recent examples of this trend was then-Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s failed effort to ban sugary beverages sold in containers larger than 16 ounces.
One Manhattan council member is doing his best to ban another common product completely within the nation’s most populous city. Democrat Daniel Garodnick recently claimed microbeads – used primarily in hygiene products including toothpaste and skin cleansers – are “toxic” pollutants worthy of absolute prohibition.
“The risks of passing toxic plastic beads up the food chain far outweigh having them in our beauty products,” he explained, citing his belief that humans are becoming sick after eating fish that consumed the tiny exfoliators. Similar efforts to ban microbeads are currently under way within the U.S. and beyond, due in large part to activism by some within the scientific and environmental communities.
