As the LA Times is reporting, Malibu has taken a bold step and officially banned the use of plastic bags in the entire city, especially restaurants and grocery stores.
And while the average person uses about 600 bags per year, it’s estimated that LA County might be responsible for up to a third of the 19 billion bags used in California every year.
The resolution was unanimously approved by the Malibu City Council, and follows in the steps of San Francisco’s ban on all non-biodegradable bags.
Other cities in the area have been mulling over proposals to ban plastic bags and charge for the use of paper bags.
And if you doubt the seriousness of the issue, read up on the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.
