San Francisco to Ban Sale Of Plastic Water Bottles on City Property

America’s second greenest city, San Francisco, is apparently no longer content with being number two.

Earlier this week, the city’s Board of Supervisors voted unanimously on an ordinance banning the sale and distribution of plastic water bottles 21 ounces or less on city property. If passed, the ban is expected to take effect for all indoor events held in city buildings or on land leased by the city starting this fall, and all events by 2016.

This is following the more extensive ban enacted by Concord, Mass. in 2013, which banned plastic water bottle sales anywhere in the town, including gas stations and grocery stores.

The goal, the SF Examiner reports, is to have “zero waste” going into the city’s landfills by 2020. According to a 2006 fact sheet produced by the Pacific Institute, more than 17 million barrels of oil are used to produce plastic water bottles annually, and more than 2.5 million tons of carbon dioxide are produced as a byproduct of the bottling process.

The San Francisco ordinance still needs to undergo a second round of voting before reaching mayor Ed Lee.

Fast Food and Restaurant Employees Confess the One Item You Should Never Order

Anything McCafé at McDonald’s

“I work for Mcdonald’s and make sure everyone that matters to me never orders anything that comes out of the ‘McCafe’ machine as these are routinely neglected, in practically all the McDonalds. Not only are staff not properly trained in its cleaning and maintenance, at almost every McDonalds I’ve had experience with, the managers in charge of training them don’t know fuck all either…All McCafe beverages run through a horrifically dirty machine – we’re talking 5+ inches of uncleaned, liquid bullshit making up its inside parts”
On Wendy’s chili

“I used to work at Wendy’s. The meat used in the chili, yeah that comes from the meat on the grill top that expires and dries up that’s put in to a warming drawer until you have enough for a batch of chili, which we first freeze and then thaw the next day. Also if the chili sitting in the warmer doesn’t sell fast enough we just added hot water to it to mix it up.

How is none of that subject to health inspection? Namely the dirty machinery...
I think, and this is just me guessing, is either A.) Mr. Inspector doesn't give a shit, checks the box off on his clipboard and moves on. B.) It may be dirty, but isn't "too dirty". Meaning, much like 99% of the rest of the crap we eat, there's an "acceptable" threshold for caca in our food. As in our canned olives can have up to 13 cockroaches inside and be ok, but 14 crosses a line.

...or C.) This is news coming from people that work at McDonalds and Wendy's, they could just be making shit up.
I'm gonna guess it's this one. Just cause this person's McDonald's machine is all fucked up doesn't mean the machine at thousands of other McDonald's is.


People can see the difference between various fast food restaurants in their own city. Go to McDonald's in one part of town and the whole restaurant is dirty, the tables and the floors are sticky, bathrooms look like they rarely get cleaned, but then you go to another part of town and the whole restaurant is spotless and cleaned multiple times throughout the day.
