There's No Such Thing as a Free Plastic Bag in California

Why are you targeting retailers? What about all the plastic bags that people buy in stores to line their garbage cans, etc.? Those are used only once.

And who says bags from retailers are used only once? I reuse bags brought home from the grocery store for all kinds of things.

You're trying to legislate morality thru penalization.

Instead of passing another law with another fee/tax, how about just educating people on how to take care of their environment? How about enforcing litter laws? How about getting offenders to spend their time cleaning up the roadways of litter for a year. That'll stop offenders.

The reason there's so much litter & waste is because people do not respect Mother Earth. They don't respect Mother Earth because they don't respect themselves or where they came from. The reason they don't respect themselves is because they have grown up with the lie that "government" will take care of them & everything is disposable. The current paradigm has taken away self-responsibility, self-reliance, & self-respect, which translates into lack of respect for the rest of creation.

Corporate America has created a "disposable" society. Corporate America, coupled with poor governance, has created a selfish & lazy society. Poor government has also created a society where people have to spend so much time on the rat-race treadmill (all these government regulations, fees, taxes, etc. are driving up the cost of living for everyone) that they don't have the time to really connect with themselves, Mother Earth, or each other. It took a generation for the mental shift to take place. It will take a generation to eradicate the erroneous way of thinking/living.

How about having students in homemaking/sewing classes make reusable bags? Students could knit/crochet reusable bags, too. Woodshop students could make reusable shopping carts for elderly people. Welding students could weld reusable shopping carts for the elderly/infirm, too. When students take their projects home, their family members will take note of the worthiness of their class projects & hopefully use them at home, too. Who knows, maybe someone will make a business out of producing them!

There are better ways to educate & get people to start taking care of the environment than by feeing/taxing us to death. To truly make the shift, it needs to be a part of the fabric of their existence, beginning when they're young & in school - not another government mandated fee/tax imposed when they're adults - after you've brought them up in a society that flaunts wasteful disposability.

Lead by example, not by taxation. How many of you legislators actually take your own shopping bags into the stores with you? Oh, yeah, I forgot, if the costs pinch your wallet too much, you'll just vote yourselves another raise & force your fellow American to pay you more out of their own pocket & do with less for themselves. After all, that is the American way, isn't it - make someone else pay, pay, pay, pay, pay.

Now there is a solution and much better alternative to levying, recycling and reusable canvas grocery bags for those who forgets their canvas bag at home or in the car which is called "BIOPLAST Biodegradable Plastics."

BIOPLAST is a manufacturing company of BIOPLAST Branded Biodegradable Garbage Bags for the household markets and for the industry as well as Biodegradable Carrier Bags for the retail sector using their own patented unique formula of bacteria enzyme base substrate as against starch base as used by other manufacturers world over which is not as strong or durable as polymer (plastic) bags and has a cost addition of 300%-400%. Also starch based products can comprise of genetically modified crops (GM Crops).

This is the only Biodegradable technology in the world using bacteria enzyme base substrate which is 100% biodegradable within 6 months after disposal as per ASTM-D 5988-1996 and EN 13432:2000/ISO 14855 standards with the lowest cost addition of 15%-20%.

BIOPLAST biodegradable products are also compostable and hence enhancing the nutritive value of the remaining soil. All the ingredients of BIOPLAST biodegradable plastic products are food grade and non-toxic in nature therefore are suitable to have contact with food products.

BIOPLAST believes that this great innovation will go a long way in preserving the ecological balance around the world which has brought intelligent and affordable solution to the disposal of polyethylene plastic waste problem worldwide.

Now the local and central Governments must ban all non-biodegradable plastic bags and force all the retailers to use ONLY 100% Biodegradable bags in their stores as an alternative to reusable canvas bags which will be the evidence of their sincere concern for the environment and their commitment to tackling the considerable problem of plastic bag waste and the pollution.
