That's pretty telling. Anything the increases government control of our lives smacks of leftism. There are more important issues to deal with than plastic grocery bags.

This doesn't increase government control of our lives. It's a regulation on commerce to restrict environmental degradation.
Seventeen years ago, Californians were churning out 3 lbs of garbage per day per person. Counties that were home to about half the population were projected to run out of landfill room within nine years.
Today, Californians are down to about 2 lbs each per day, and a third of that trash is staying out of the landfills by either being recycled or composted. As a result, running out of landfill space isn't projected to be a problem for at least the next 28 years.
I consider the government telling people they have to give up their land to make room for a landfill a far greater imposition than specifying recyclable or reusable grocery bags.
Don't you?
