Great post. The city of Long Beach, of all places, banned the use of plastic bags!
No department store, grocery store, any store- gives them out anymore! I believe it started January 1, 2011.
We either remember to bring in our own canvas or recycled plastic bags, or pay 10 cents extra for any paper bag that they use for purchases.
If you don't want to pay extra for a bag and you forget your own, your cart on the way out of the store looks just like it did when you got to the register.
I must have 10 different bags in my trunk now. Sometimes I still forget to grab one on my way into a store and must pack all my purchases @ my car.
I am very happy the city did this even if inconvenient at times.
