Los Angeles Bans the Plastic Bag
HOORAY!
Can they really do that?
YES, San Francisco did it last year and it was in effect last November.
Consumers’ options are to buy those reuseable canvas bags or pay for a paper or biodegradeable bag at 25cents a bag. Yikes! 3% of the bag fee cost will go back to the retailer, 3% will go to the state, and the rest will go back to the city to fund an education campaign. I think that’s a mighty good idea. If people can’t chose to do what’s right for our earth, then we’ll make them do it. How much do you want to bet that people will be using those canvas bags?
