Makes sense to me. Excerpt: Among many much larger scale initiatives, Bloomberg's strong support for reducing marijuana possession from a criminal misdemeanor to a less serious violation category stood out. "Right now, those arrested for possessing small amounts of marijuana are often held in custody overnight. We're changing that," he said. "Effective next month, anyone presenting an ID and clearing a warrant check will be released directly." However, the environmentally conscious mayor warned that the white polystyrene foam packaging used in huge quantities by New York food cart vendors and other outlets was in his sights. "One product that is virtually impossible to recycle and never bio-degrades is Styrofoam. But it's not just terrible for the environment. It's terrible for taxpayers." he said. "Styrofoam increases the cost of recycling by as much as $20 per ton, because it has to be removed. We will work to adopt a law banning Styrofoam food packaging from our stores and restaurants."
