Single-Use Plastic Bags Banned in California
Yesterday morning, Governor Jerry Brown signed into law a ban on the distribution of single-use plastic bags in grocery stores, pharmacies, and convenience and liquor stores.
This makes California the first US state to pass a ban on single-use plastic bags and it is a huge precedent.
It happened because solid data showed that plastic bag bans do work to reduce plastic litter and change consumer attitudes, without having apocalyptic effects on jobs and low income communities, as argued by the plastic industry.
