Saw a report that glass is 100% recyclable but nothing comes in glass anymore.

What about all the plastic stuff we put in those bags. Ignorant politicians.

That will really solve our country’s issues. 🙄

Have we seen enough of this flipflopping to know it's never been about the environment yet?

[dannyrabin]

Why doesn't he solve real problems like the homeless encampments and soft on crime policies?

Last time Newsom did this it caused a huge hepatitis outbreak bc the homeless ( crisis) use those bags to dookie 💩 in .. 💩 was all over the streets in Cali..

Why are they buying bags at checkout, that of itself is a scam

Plastic shopping bags are not the problem. Everything comes in plastic!

[amylamb]

All of the groceries are sold in some kind of plastic containers, but grocery bags are the devil. Make this make sense.

[livingthedream]

Why would anyone want to live in this state?

[sonicmiku]

People who run the state/ city: lets ban plastic to help the environment.

Also them: ah another wonderful speech I made, now to get on my private jet to my private cruise for vactation.

This'll fix everything guys. We're saved!

[hamaljay]

These plastic bag bans work so well in Washington State where they almost triple the amount of plastic that goes into the trash, by making it so that thin plastic bags are illegal but the industry found a workaround with reusable thick plastic bags that nobody reuses.

[pelethirakoun]

You have bigger issues than plastic bags guys.

[namewithheldnamewithheld]

We can't afford enough to fill them up anyway.

[Zildjian_DW]

This is ridiculous! Everything is made of plastic! Damn near everything!
