I believe the goals of these proposed ordinances "bans" will prohibit grocery stores and other commercial establishments from distributing plastic bags to their customers to carry out the products after purchase .
having seen it in action in my travels - its a pain if one is to carry home more than 2 bags worth back to the car.
This is all ready the case in other cities and states. Hence my reply to the topic

Another case of carelessness of the few affecting the freedoms of the many?
Seems to me the issue is the dumping of the plasitic bags once folks use them. In order to keep the aina clean the rest of us prudent users will be denied access.
Mirrors much of what goes on in society today imho. Internal locus of control and social responsibility waning, replaced by rules and regulations from big brother
