Proposed, passed by the state, signed by the governor, challenged, placed before the voters and alas approved, mostly because of Los Angeles and San Francisco counties. (Many cities in the state already banned such bags, so for them, this wasn't even a way to get out of the bag bans.)

Of course, in the same election, they also approved recreational marijuana sales.

I am trying to figure out how to convince my bank to make my debit card look like an EBT card, then I won’t have to pay for bags.

I’ve been recycling the bags for years as small trash bags for the bathrooms. Or smelly food waste to take to the big can. I make my own re-usable cloth bags, their plastic ones come from China and could have lead in them. And I can make the sizes I need and quilt the ones for the dairy stuff. 15 mins and a new bag is made that can be washed and are strong.

When are they going after all of the throw away diapers they take 500 yrs in the landfill to disintegrate.

Thank you, Kingu.

My wife has gotten very angry with me because I refuse to either carry in a grocery bag or pay for single use bags. So far I’ve bought only what I can carry, gone in with an old style plastic bag I just got at CVS in my back pocket, or let her do the shopping. I simply refuse to comply with the law. She does not understand my little protest.

Going forward I am switching to shopping at Costco. They will give you boxes to put things in.
