It's Official: No More Plastic Bags in Long Beach
.JPG.jpeg)
So after the long debate about banning plastic bags from grocery stores, the city of Long Beach has made it clear that the plastic bag ban will begin August 1. Below is a press release that was sent out this morning. What are your thoughts on this whole issue? Let it be known in the comment section below.
Long Beach officials will give away free reusable bags on July 21 at the Vons grocery store on 600 East Broadway. Bags will be distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis from 9 AM to 11 AM, while supplies last.
Long Beach residents are reminded to "Take a Tote" when shopping at large grocery stores, big box retailers and large drug stores that sell food and perishable items. Beginning August 1, 2011, these stores will no longer provide plastic bags. To view a list of retailers affected, please visit http://www.longbeach.gov/www.litterfreelb.org.
"Long Beach is ground zero for plastic bag pollution in southern California. What starts out as litter on the street 40 miles away from Long Beach becomes marine debris half buried on our beaches or floating in a few feet of water off our shores," says Vice Mayor Suja Lowenthal. "As a beach city, and particularly one that is located at the base of the Los Angeles River, I hope our ban will inspire upstream cities to think sustainably, and consider reducing their plastic waste as well."
Information on the plastic bag ban is available at http://www.longbeach.gov/www.litterfreelb.org. Created by the City of Long Beach, this website provides information on the 10-cent charge per paper bag, "Toting Tips", as well as a host of answers to Frequently Asked Questions. Long Beach residents and consumers are being encouraged to bring their own reusable bags when shopping to help reduce litter and preserve landfill space.
For customers participating in the California Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants, and Children or the Supplemental Food Program, stores are required to provide a free reusable bag or paper bag. Under this ordinance, paper bags can also be purchased from retailers at a cost of 10-cents per bag. The 10-cent fee will be retained by the retailer to assist with costs associated with the Ordinance, as well as educational materials designed to encourage the use of reusable carryout bags.
In May 2011, the Long Beach City Council voted to ban the distribution of plastic carryout bags and approved a 10-cent per bag charge for recyclable paper bags. The plastic bag ban ordinance was designed to:The first phase of the ordinance goes into effect on August 1, 2011, and applies to large retailers that sell food and perishable items. A complete list of affected stores is available onhttp://www.longbeach.gov/www.litterfreelb.org.The second phase of the ordinance will go into effect on January 1, 2012 and applies to neighborhood markets and pharmacies, convenience stores, bodegas, sandwich and coffee shops, liquor stores and farmers' markets that sell food and perishable items.For more information on the Long Beach Plastic Bag Ban, please visit http://www.longbeach.gov/www.litterfreelb.org, contact info@litterfreelb.org or call 562.570.2876.

I think a good idea, especially in this economy, is for the stores to make available the boxes they intend to discard. Some people can't afford the extra cost of paper bags, even at 10 cents each, and others - such as myself have valid concerns about reusing grocery bags and possible cross-contamination. I tried washing a reusable bag because it was used to transport raw meat, packaged, but still raw. The darned bag fell apart.

I am curious why there are still unlimited plastic bags in the produce department; especially since those are the size and type of bags that are most likely to be discarded rather than re-used. I hadn't really paid attention until I was in the checkout line with only a few items, reusable bag in tow - and the person behind me bought over $100 worth of veggies and every single one of those vegetables was bagged in it's very own plastic produce bag.

@Frank - Yeah, pretty much that and maybe wrapping up some foods before throwing them in the trash. (Not a composter obviously...) Easy enough habits to change though.

What does everyone use these bags for? All I can think of is picking up after pets and those little office/bathroom trash cans.

@JulsnMatt1028 - I would ask them "how is it a right to get a plastic bag when we go shopping? think ahead and take your own bag or come out of $0.10 and buy a paper one at the store. or go to a store that still has plastic bags."
@The Man - word! i had to go dumb for a moment.

@michael "And just to be humorous with it for a moment....give it a few weeks and I bet you someone will start "slangin" plastic bags right out side your local grocery store! I can see it now "I got that work. 5 cents per bag!""
That had me ROLLIN'!

THAT's an AWESOME idea! I'm going to go buy all the surplus plastic bags right now! :)
Someone on Facebook made a comment about this being another area of government infringing on their rights. Thoughts?
