Los Angeles to Ban Plastic Bags by 2010

It looks like I might be getting my wish for more American cities to start banning the use of plastic bags. The Huffington Post is reporting that Los Angles will be joining San Francisco in banning the use of disposable bags and will be plastic bag-free by 2010. Shoppers will either have to bring their own reusable shopping bags or pay a 25 cent tax for a biodegradable bag. The best part of this decision is that it will place additional pressure on California to enact a state-wide ban.
