Swimming pools, movie stars but no more plastic bags. In continuing with the trend of charging people for non eco friendly behavior California is moving forward with it's crusade to ban all plastic bags. Legislation passed Wednesday now prohibits stores from offering plastic bags to customers. In hopes that people will start to bring their own reusable bags the bill also institutes charges for those opting for the paper bags. The bag ban has been catching on all over the world - starting in Ireland and South Africa and finally spreading to the US in 2007 (Yay San Francisco!)
For those last minute trips to the grocery store try the compact reusable FEED 100 by FEED Projects totes which proceeds go towards feeding hungry children all over the world. The bag zips up for easy storage and toting around in case of a quick stop at Whole Foods (or wherever) :)
