So it's official, the city of Los Angeles will begin banning plastic bags on July 1, 2010 from retail stores. Similar regulations have been set forth in San Fransisco and I believe are being discussed for one of my homes, the city of Vancouver, as well.
My partner and I made the switch to canvas bags a few months ago; we take one with us everywhere, just in case and it's good to leave some in the car. And I've found retailers, at least in Vancouver, to very cordial and appreciative when you present your non-plastic bag.
I think it's time we all made the switch, because that alone is such a simple, simple thing to do that would make such a vast impact.
