Yeah for LA! I wish every city in the US would follow suite and ban plastic bags being handed out like trash-candy. There is an ocean disaster happening, all due to bags, bottles, waste, and it's a shame that our grandchildren will swim in an ocean of plastic rather than enjoy any beauty. Our deserts are filling up with plastic bags - all over the sagebrush, buried in the sand - everywhere you walk, they fly in from Phoenix, I guess! Please use non-plastic things, please.
Also, if you are interested, here is a scientist talking about a huge problem of plastic in the ocean:

or you can search for "plastic in the oceans Captain Charles Moore" and watch the very sad legacy of plastic users world wide.
