I don’t understand… my local Safeway here in California still offers only single use plastic bags. They are a somewhat thick bag but still single-use, not some permanent thing you own.
Yeah it’s really dumb. They got rid of the thin bags, and replaced them with bags that use 20x more plastic. I guess people are supposed to reuse those, but very few people do. Their big brain idea was to use 20x more plastic to stop all the plastic waste.
Hm, well, we use the plastic bag recycling bin at Safeway for all our plastic bags, shrink wrap, and bubble envelopes. We dropped off 8 bags this weekend. I wonder if they will get rid of that bin now?

Yeah, those thicker ones are considered reusable, and therefore are exempt from the single-use plastic bag ban. This legislation closes that loophole.
Ooooookay thanks.
