Plastic bag ban expands in San Francisco

Not only is San Francisco the first to outlaw plastic bags in large supermarkets but it is now widening that law to pharmacy chains too reports the local TV news station KNTV.

Ecotravel News was very disappointed when New York City was exploring a similar plastic bag ban but instead only got the edict for grocery chains to recycle bags; something that California supermarkets have had in place for over a decade.

Now that SF is successful in its attempt at being an environmental leader, hopefully other large cities can be inspired and also pass more stringent plastic bag laws.
