"Carryout Bag Reduction and Recycling Act"

[Cleita]

1. We've had this in our county, San Luis Obispo County, CA, for a few months now.

To buy a bag is 10 cents here. The thing I wonder about is that now that retailers don't have to provide bags other than those purchased, it seems like they must be seeing some savings. I don't see those savings being passed on to the consumer. Also, my trash, both recycle and garbage, is still going into plastic bags. I used to put my recycling in paper bags as well as the bags themselves went into the recycler and not the garbage that reaches the landfills. So it seems you guys still need to ask a lot of questions. I do feel it's a step in the right direction but there are still things to work out.
