Editorial: Time has come for ban on plastic grocery bags
From the Sacramento Bee:
Banning single-use plastic bags is not going to save the environment. But it would help keep city streets, beaches and the ocean cleaner.
The state Senate, which stymied proposed bans in 2010 and 2012, has before it a balanced bill with broad support. When it comes up for a floor vote, probably today, senators should pass it.
