According to Newsweek on MSNBC:
When San Francisco recently banned the use of plastic grocery bags as part of its campaign to fight global warming, the city drew international attention. Now, plastic water bottles are in the cross hairs.
This week, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom signed an executive order banning the use of city funds to purchase single-serving plastic water bottles.
San Francisco residents expressed their approval of Newsom's tactics to clean up the environment.
"I just want to give thanks to Mayor Newsom," said Gregory Whitman, a 36 year-old homeless drug addict. "This is such a relief for me personally. Someone finally has the guts to stand up and say, 'no more plastic bottles'."
As Whitman attacked a 67 year-old woman for crack money, he commended the Mayor for making the world a better place, saying that "his energies are focused in the right direction regarding what people are most concerned about."
According to Newsweek, residents that refuse to buy bottles by signing an online pledge are able to receive a recyclable container for free.
Christie Thompson, a 22 year-old prostitute said that the container is a "great idea" and to "count me in on the online pledge."
"What a wonderful way to promote clean living," Thompson said as she climbed into a car for a sex-for-drugs exchange. "I don't even patron restaurants that sell single-serve plastic bottles. It's disgusting."
