culture blurb...No plastic bags in San Francisco.

Starting today it will be illegal for the major grocery stores in San Francisco to distribute plastic bags. Read the whole article for pros and a few cons. I'm not sure. It seems like paper bags will use a lot of resources especially if they double bag as reported by one shopper. I am impressed that there is a 1000 mile wide patch of plastic floating in the Pacific Ocean. Time will tell whether this is a good idea or not.
