1/31/2009 Tax on plastic proposed...to 'climate protection forestry account'
A senator from a struggling timber district has come up with an interesting idea: a tax on plastic. The money would go into a special “climate protection forestry account,” which would be used to pay for incentives to the forestry industry. The goal: to reduce carbon, presumably by growing trees. The incentives would be for forest management, including thinning and fertilization, and encouraging the use of wood in construction, “instead of the more intensive fossil fuel products such as concrete, plastic, and steel.” Senate Bill 5747 comes from Sen. Jim Hargrove, D-Hoquiam, a self-employed forester. (The Spokesman-Review)
