CBS Hosts Cheer Seattle Fining People For Not Composting: ‘Go Seattle!’

Following a Wednesday morning reports in which the hosts of CBS This Morning celebrated California’s ban on plastic bags, on Thursday morning the hosts hyped a Seattle plan to fine citizens for failing to compost properly. While co-host Norah O’Donnell skeptically claimed that “garbage trucks may start to feel more like police cars” reporter Ben Tracy began his report by suggesting the fine for not composting didn’t go far enough and wondered “if you're really trying to incentivize people to do this,why is the fine only a buck?” Video cross-posted here at NewsBusters.
