Today, the SF Board of Supervisors voted 10-1 to make San Francisco the first city in the nation to prohibit petroleum-based plastic checkout bags in large markets and pharmacies.
Read the story here.
I think this makes a lot of sense, as the plastic bags that we're currently using are not biodegradable or recyclable. This law will mandate the use of biodegradable plastic bags or recyclable paper bags.
I've been meaning to buy a large canvas tote to bring with me to the grocery store for a while now. Guess this will prompt me to get one now.
The only thing I need to figure out now... what will I use for kitty-litter clean-up? :)
