Reply to comment by Skolanthropy in I want a law that fines the sign-manufacturing political party $50 per sign left over after election day. by PlentyCommission166

I think that’s the best case scenario. And even at that it feels wasteful to produce millions of signs. On the off chance someone might not just completely ignore them.

True dat. Surely these signs could be restricted under the same premise as other restrictions on single-use plastics?

Or maybe we could mandate they be recyclable and then give $0.05 a pop for whoever brings them in.

Edit: The cost of the signs can be surprisingly high.

I think recyclability is lie (or at least an exaggeration) that convinces us it’s ok to use plastic so we don’t have to modify our behavior.

I hate to stay this, but maybe we should stick to internet adds that cost a few watts to deliver.

Personally, I block literally every internet ad.

IMO, I have the right to decide what gets my attention.
