Surprisingly, Prop 65 didn't pass...this would have re-directed the money from grocery bags the state Wildlife Conservation Board, which "would have utilized the fund for environmental protection and grants to environmental conservation organizations."

I've got a couple of liberal relatives (Wife's side :D) that are always hounding me for FREE avocados (Go figure :rolleyes)

In the past I've always used these single use bags that I've collected (Oh wait, use more thbigan once, absurd) for distributing the avos.

So for a chosen few, I'm going to start charging them for the bags :eek Damn, this will be fun :D

I won't even give them the option of bringing their own bag, it's buy my bags, or no avos :D
I'll bring you bags to sell and pay for the bags.

Where you at!:D:D

Its kinda funny how this new law has some of you up in arms....
It almost sounds like your candidate lost the elections[emoji23] I'm sure you could hire some protesters to make your point.

Yea the fund to close the river to boating lol.

So where does the money go instead?

I think this prop was deliberately worded backwards for this result.

The no bag law is a real pain in the ass but I have a friend that works on the Scripps research vessel and has been out to the large trash collection in the Pacific Ocean. Plastic bags are a real problem, so are plastic water bottles.

I am not sure this is a bad thing. The money stays with the store so they benefit but I am sure they did not lobby for this. The charge is to discourage people from using plastic bag Everytime they shop and to just buy a reusable bag. The waste and one time item's we use daily is crazy. I know people say it is only 10? but I won't being buying any. One thing I do not like seeing on television is reporters asking people with state aid at groceries stores about it and them saying they don't care that it is not costing them money.

Towns up here have banned plastic bags years ago. Most stores offer boxes, but I also use the paper bags at home.

People brought this on themselves for being lazy pigs and our lovely Ca government jumped on it. What's the one piece of garbage you see blowing around the freeways the most? When you go to the dump that's what is covering the fences etc. If people would just pick up after themselves this stupid law would have never been implemented. Just saying,,,,

Yes it is a very stupid law, but we do live in a society of lazy stupid people... Lose lose,,,

The money stays in the store.
So today my wife goes to Frazier Farms(an organic type store) to get a handful of things. She brought her own bags. As she checks out the reciept she notices they gave her a .05c bag credit because she had her own bags.......imagine that, huh.
What I'm not sure of is if they charge for the bags or not.
