So as a scuba diver I agree there is way too much plastic floating around our oceans.....
so my yeah but moment is..
Yeah But didn't you stinking hippies get everyone to ditch paper bags for plastic 20 years ago cause it was somehow bad for the trees? Trees are a renewable resource (there are more trees in the US today than there was when the Spanish / Columbus landed here to rape and pillage)..
I didn't read the bill but I am assuming this applies as just grocery stores? What if you go to Toys R Us? no one takes their own bags to retail type stores??
Next I can see for cities like LA, they are probably going to use other tax payers money to give them those cool re-usable bags? Can you see the same folks that hijack buggies (shopping carts to those of you not from the south) and leave them at their apartment complex, are they going to use those cool reusable bags? maybe in Malibu..
another fail for California, in Boulder they charge a 3 cent tax PER plastic bag to discourage the use, and they make out like a bandit at the same time.. CA could have gone that route and would at least maybe make a little money..
Good initiative.. piss-poor judgment
