"There is no limit to what government can do when you accept every single regulation"

There is no limit to what paranoid people will come when they let their imagination run wild. I hear tell we're invading Texas.

"Old tires?"

Tire Management California is faced with the significant challenge of diverting or safely managing more than 40 million reusable and waste tires generated each year. It is estimated that fewer than 50,000 waste tires remain in stockpiles throughout California. These stockpiles pose a potential threat to public health, safety, and the environment.

The California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) is mandated to regulate and manage waste tires within the state. The Legislature recognized the need for waste tire management and passed the California Tire Recycling Act in 1989. To further strengthen waste tire management, the Legislature passed Senate Bill (SB) 876 in 2000 to augment the California Tire Recycling Act. For more information, read the Overview of Tire Management in California.

"Given the amount of trash generated by each Californian per year, the proportion of that due to plastic shopping bags is really tiny."

Given the amount of trash which blows into trees, fences, the ocean, vacant lots, etc, the percentage is much higher.

"We already have extensive recycling programs across the state. Why is that not enough?"
Bags aren't included.

"We already have laws against littering. Why is that not enough?"
We already have too much litter. Sometimes it's easier to reduce the supply of potential litter than it is to depend on the better nature of man. We could put a deposit on them, like beer, and let the homeless pick them up.
