Paper or Cloth?
July 29, 2008
Two years from now, shopping in LA is going to undergo a big change. Starting July 1, 2010, plastic shopping bags will be banned from stores, leaving customers to pay twenty-five cents for a paper variety or better, bring reusable bags from home. The city expects that the change will greatly reduce clean-up costs for litter in the town’s rivers; plastic bags make up a huge portion of marine debris. San Francisco, leading the green way as usual, already passed and implemented ban.
