To the editor: The invoice handed by the California Legislature to remove plastic luggage at grocery shops, even the thicker “reusable” ones which are not often reused, is a protracted overdue. I’m happy to see assist throughout the board for this laws.
I’ve not taken a plastic bag from a retailer in a few years. Reusable luggage are such a straightforward various. Ought to an individual neglect to take a reusable bag, a paper bag remains to be a viable various.
My thanks go to state Sen. Catherine Blakespear (D-Encinitas) and Assemblymember Rebecca Bauer-Kahan (D-Orinda) for his or her persistence in getting this invoice handed. I hope Gov. Gavin Newsom shortly indicators this essential laws into legislation.

To the editor: I used to be very concerned in opposing the state’s first plastic bag ban 10 years in the past on the grounds that the federal government shouldn’t be telling shoppers how you can run their lives.
What I shortly realized was that it was a method for grocery shops to have the authorized pretext to cost prospects for one thing they’d all the time given away. It was a flat-out mislead the individuals, and enrichment of enterprise, within the title of the surroundings.
It was additionally demonstrated by research on the time that the perfect resolution was 100% post-consumer paper luggage.
