Philly plastic bag ban: Half of businesses aren’t complying, report says https://www.byteseu.com/2185677/ #business #PaperBags #PlasticBagBan #PlasticBags

The #plastic industry claims that their new, thicker bags are exempt from the state's plastic bag ban, but most are neither reused nor recycled.

Now, 2 bills in the legislature would close this loophole: SB 1053 & AB 2236.

If passed, this legislation would prohibit plastic bags from being provided at grocery checkout lanes and ensure plastic film bags are no longer considered “reusable", as Laura Deehan at Environment California and Fiona Hines at CALPIRG write in this great op-ed: https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2024/07/06/opinion-thicker-bags-wont-reduce-californias-plastic-waste/ #plastics #fossilfuels #trash #trashpollution #plasticbagban #plasticbag

A couple days ago, Colorado banned single use plastic bags.

Today I re-homed the 2 billion string backpacks my kids have received from every camp and special school event for the last four years.

And by re-homed, I mean I left them at the self checkout at Walmart to be adopted like stray kittens. 😁🤣

I'm feeling very pleased with myself today.
