Just saw paper bags at the Walmart in communist Athens Ohio. I just laughed and figured the fossil fuel nutjobs now have more power than the treehuggers !!
I went on a business trip to ÇA and bought a bottle of water and was charged a CRV tax. I asked the cashier were to recycle the bottle and get my CRV tax back. The recycling was 12 miles from hotel and in traffic it can takes some time and burning fossil fuel while driving there…..well done California for reducing plastic pollution and increasing tail pipes pollution!
I remember in the 90s, ppl used to be able to take aluminum cans and glass bottles back to the grocery store and recycle it there to get their CRV-tax back... Why did the legislature let that go away? To stop the poor from going from trash-can to trash-can to find recycle-able bottles/cans? (I remember my neighbor, a retired guy driving a cadaillac, rummaging for recycleable stuff to supplement his retirement income) I guess the state doesn't really care about the environment after all.
The CRV applies for everyone and is there to encourage people to recycle ; I am 100% for recycling. I was more concerned in terms of pollution quantity it takes to claim your CRV deposit and not so much of the amount. The CRV is more of a deposit rather than a tax. A least that’s how I see it.
How I wish that there is a law that would limit the number of laws a politician can write for the entire politician's career! There are so many stupid laws written by politicians!
This reaks of snobby elitist. Californians aren't doing well enough to support nonsense like this. "Poor people can't use their plastic utensils!" "Why don't they buy gilded silverware like we have in the LA suburbs?" "Peasants!". Thats what i got from this politician.
Instead of plastic bag, this woman should be banned from creating more stupid laws. These Woke Politicians are living in their La-Laland and don't understand people will use plastic bag until there is a reasonable replacement. The silly new laws will only cause more inconvenience & pain to the regular people & make it extremely difficult to shop!
What a bunch of B.S. I am old enough to rememeber whem the rain forest was dying because of the use of papper bags. At one time the most recycled item were plastic bags. I would much rather the Oil co. make money than the goverment. Young people I talk to are all worried about housing afordabilty, not plassic bags. The average home price in Encinitas is 1.8 mil. that means you would have to make about 300K plus down payment to afford the average home in Encinitas. I sold my business in 3 years ago the people who purchased it are still going though the permit process 3 years later. That's why the rent is so darn high. All these political yahoos should be booted out of office. We deserve the representation we vote for. With all do respect this lady (Ms. Blakespear) doesn't have a clue.
The problem with your request is the Califoni voting system is corrupt! The people are not the ones voting this crap in, because what wins are the hacked votes the corrupt politicians want to shove down everyones throats!
well those rain forests are now dead and you still cant figure out how to carry reusable bags with you. you really took the cap off the shot gun for this tirade.
I crocheted my own bags and I reuse any plastic bags I might end up with, I use them over and over multiple times. They banned paper bags years ago here and said use plastic bags. Plastic everything will save the trees!! I am so happy she is happy with banning plastic as much as possible. We used waxed paper for sandwiches and a small bag to carry them in when i went to school 65 years ago. Water in a plastic bottle was dumb to begin with. Also, the climate is always changing and has been for billions of years!
BAN IT!!!! Right now, it's just making 10 cents per bag and it's basically tax revenues for politicians! Same plastic bottles with CRV of 5 to 10 cents but you could barely find a recycling place to recoup your CRV cost, which by the pound not per bottle of 10 cents that you paid for each!
@@Camie2030try collecting your crv with the same ease as it’s charged at the point of sale. I say screw the system and just toss everything in the garbage.
Interesting to note, the state has other recycling items such as carpeting as well as other products but I only see the CRV fees on food and beverage containers. The plastic bag fee is 10 cents for a bag that might cost 0.0001 cents a bag and the stores as well as the state share the 10 cents. Is the state funded by the CRV and bag fees when they are recycling carpet and other products? Doesn't see fair if that is the case. I also believe the CRV and other "fees" should be put on the manufacturers of products packaging etc. vs. the end user/customer as the cost would be more efficient at the manufacture level. The majority of the public do not recycle due to the cost of claiming their money back and the returns are not penny for penny, its less. Force manufacturers to use packaging that isn't negative and be done with the matter unless the real plan is simply to take the publics money as a tax and play with it any old way vs. be efficient.
These politicians don't care about result; they only do it just for "Feel good-Look good" regulation so they get the vote and attention from their Woke Progressive base.
When i go to the coast, i never see plastic bags along the shoreline. Are they flying through the air from the interior. Could they be coming from other countries? I'm skeptical.
Ocean plastics photos you’ve seen on social media and television are all fakes! All proven to be environmentalists creating hysteria among people. Why is it California so much in debt? Yet, gas price highest, most taxed state, and supposedly 5th largest economy in the world. 🤷🏼♂️
Paper bags won't last 12 minutes in the rain. 🤦🏻♂ 5:10 -- This is incorrect a news outlet covered a homeowner putting trackers in plastic bottles while in his recycle can to track where the stuff in his recycle bin would go. The story had nothing to do with plastic bags.
You can make biodegradable plastic out of vegetables. Are you banning large garbage bags? Paper rips easily. Someone better make some heavy duty cloth bags so we can wash them.
Siyamak: You should have these elected officials declare their party & other policies they advocate for. Many Communists dont think the regulation went far enough!
I left California in 2015 and haven't looked back. I don't mind the paper bags but to tell people they can't use plastic bags is absurd. People of California just accept it. Sad to see the train wreck California is.
Most grocery stores in my area have bins marked plastic bags only for recycling, and they take any plastic bags, fruit and veggie thin bags, Amazon bags, empty bread bags, torn plastic grocery bags etc.
What impact did the plastic straw law make? It has been several years, and did it make an impact? We do the right thing at home, but if the ♻️ recycling company do not recycle items that do not make money, what good is it?
We sort our waste products religiously because of the environmental concerns and awareness. But if the companies will only recycle what will make money for them, what good is it?
I have reusable plastic bags from Grocery Outlet and I reuse them over and over again. I keep three or four bags in my auto all the time. Whenever I go into the store, I bring them with me, however I believe we should stop using as much plastic as possible, like laundry detergent bottles. Reuse your plastic shopping bags.
They're also developing biodegradable plastic for food wrappers and containers. So if you don't consume it within a specific time period the container will dissappear an you'll be left with a spoiled mess.
This is great. The state senator is completely delusional, doesn't bother to look at why people use single-use plastics to change consumer behavior, just force consumers to adapt and create another problem that needs to be solved.
This reminds me when we had a Tiger Salamander protection act on my neighboring properties including my own. Instantly my neighbor is now developing his land for housing with 60 homes on 7 acres. I guess the Tiger salamanders are no longer important 😏
When it comes to containers for foods, glass is the best for the public. One, food stores longer and quality is maintained vs. plastic. Glass is less negative pollution wise than plastic.
THE PLASTIC INDUSTRY HAS BEEN LYING THE WHOLE TIME. CAL RECYCLE HAS NOT ONLY NO CAUGHT UP, NOT MAKING PAYMENTS TO WHO THEY OWE (CORPORATE) AND SCREWING THE RECYCLING INDUSTRY.
So they're going to ban store bags again? Because paper won't hold up to wet kitchen garbage, I will have to buy plastic bags. That's logical for California.
Why is it always California? Can we still get plastic bags when we buy Produce at the store? Thank God The Overseers In Sacramento are looking out for us.
Yeah this lady is off the mark. Paper bags are just as bad and the handles break before you get to the door. She’s obsessed with plastic bags as if nothing else has a short life span. Also we reuse the thicker plastic bags are used around the house and saved since they are thicker.

singe plastic bags make great trash bags for small trash cans so that one way make single plastic plastics bags in 2 use plastic bags. also the rich coastal elite got remember that most people are not like them and I think they causing undue hardship on working class.
I get where she is coming from. I personally use those thicker bags for multiple things before they are ultimately thrown away. I feel though that the real issue is packaging, both hard clamshell and thin wrap. There's a funny picture floating online of a few bananas wrapped in plastic in a grocery store. This is where we should be focusing not so much the bags people can use a second time for trash liners and other household tasks.
THIS THING IS EXTREMELY FEELING, BUT REALLY DOESN'T CARE ABOUT NATURAL RIGHTS FOR THE CITZENRY. SHE SQUIGGLES IN HER ONE PIECE TO TALK DOWN TO WE THE PEOPLE, WE ARE THE NANNY STATE.
I must have 100 plastic bags that get reused and I dont see any floating down the road. where they are, homeless Camps. this woman need sot have her pay reduced. she is a bag on my life. I put a single use plastic bag in my backyard doing an experiment to see how long it takes to degrade, gone in 1-1/2 years... first year it becomes brittle and starts breaking up, 1 - 6 months afterwards broken down to tiny bits and eventually gone.
Since they started giving away reusable bags for free I bring my own just cause I don't want any more lmao I don't wanna throw them away and waste them I don't even use bags but they give them to you and just bag them anyway
We have 3 different cans for trash, recycle, and yard waste. 3 trucks, 3 drivers and three times the carbon foot print. A city in the Midwest spent their money in the end processing with all waste in one can.
The Walmart bags smell so bad... smells like strong chemicals, it makes me sick every time I come near them. I called Walmart HQ why the bags smell so bad, and all I got is we will look into it.
As admirable as this cause is, I have absolutely no hope in any of it working. Too many hands are in the pot that are making a profit from plastics. Most people are more concerned with convenience rather than what is best for anything other than themselves. Most people rather inconvenience everyone else, in order to get what they want. I see it in the way people drive all the time.
Sorry guys about this but it was California that started the whole thing with the plastic bags. So you get rid of plastic bags to bring back the paper bags or just buy your own.
I refuse to pay for these thicker bags. If I dont bring my fabric bag, I just put it back in my cart and put it in my car. Then unpack my car. It's not like you really need the bags.
It is certainly great that someone is trying to limit the huge amount of plastic generated by local retail, but in addition to this, it would be great if California banned the use of copper for sewer pipes. In general, they would limit the use of copper because the pollution of the environment is much higher for the creation of one ton of copper than for one ton of plastic. The second question is, why are metal-plastic windows banned in the USA? This type of windows has a very low thermal conductivity coefficient compared to wood and aluminum. When using metal-plastic windows, your air conditioner in the summer and heating system in the winter will work at least 30% less. You save a lot of electricity and thereby improve the environment.

Omg in the late 80’s / early 90’s California banned paper bags. I’m 55 yrs old and so tired of the crap. It’s all about $$$
😂😂
Just saw paper bags at the Walmart in communist Athens Ohio. I just laughed and figured the fossil fuel nutjobs now have more power than the treehuggers !!
Yes, the argument was "We're killing trees!", so we must ban paper bags, and go with plastic bags. Now we're back to paper bags???
@@vickikenton5439 yes i remember that. there montra was we are cutting down to many trees..
Paper for bags comes from paper mills that grow trees on private land. Mostly fast growing loblolly pines. Not from forests.
Don't worry about the bags. If you keep voting democrat, you won't be able to afford any of the food.
@ripvanrevs I always vote. In central California, we do bring some non democrats into Congress.

So with everything going on in California. These people can't figure out paper or plastic. These people need to come back to Reality.
