On Tuesday’s episode of “The Michael Knowles Show,” Knowles discusses why plastic bans are inconvenient for people and actually harmful for the environment. Video and partial transcript below: 
[San Francisco&#8217;s] plastic water bottle ban is incredibly stupid, and it&#8217;s not just stupid because it won&#8217;t have that much of an impact. It&#8217;s stupid because the purpose isn&#8217;t to help the environment; the purpose is just to harm you. Like all of these other regulations and bans, it&#8217;s not about the environment — it&#8217;s about inconveniencing you. Here&#8217;s how you know by the way. In San Francisco Airport now, the ban is only affecting water bottles. But you know you go into the store at the airport or any deli or any convenience store, they don&#8217;t just sell water bottles. They sell soda bottles, ice tea bottles, Gatorade juice drinks, all these different kinds of drinks. All of those are fine at San Francisco airport. The only one you can&#8217;t get is a water bottle.
