Hot tub technician takes on the "deniers"

Telluride bags the bag

Harold Wonsel, a hot tub technician in town, has criticized the ordinance for months as green-washing. He argues that it blatantly ignores science out there that shows single-use plastic bags to be a miniscule part of the global waste stream.

“You have chosen not to pursue the science of this issue. Doing so puts you in the same place as climate change deniers,” he said. “There is a lot of science out there right now … hundreds of documents that don’t support the passing of this.”
