According to LAist the county supervisors are set to vote on whether or not to ban plastic grocery bags. Wehave listened to arguments for and against on the radio. The industry lobbyist and spokespeople claim the reusable bags are dirty and a health hazard.
But we have been using reusable bags at trader joes for years and although the insides of our bags have looked cleaner, we have never experienced any kind of health issues related to it. We at Outdoors Los Angeles are particularly skeptical of these claims.
Apparently the ban is sponsored by Heal the Bay and it would only affect unincorporated LA County. A similar measure that would have banned plastic grocery bags in all grocery stores in California died in the State Senate in August.
