        Good bill...but why is take out food exempt? What's wrong with paper bags for take out food?

        Santa Fe has had a single-use plastic bag ban in place for a number of years, including take out food. These bags have practically disappeared from the landscape here. The improvement has been impressive.

        Reusable bags can be a hassle, but you can get used to them. I did.

        We banned plastic bags a couple years ago in HI. You can buy reusable bags at most grocery stores. So much less plastic in our environment. All States should do it.

        California does it and it works great. It forced us to remember our reusable bags, but we lost our free poop bags.

        In California we used the doggie bags in our neighborhood but now we’re back in Cincinnati so we have a plethora of plastic bags again.

        Plastic? I ask cuz the headline in that article mentioned trash. So, I was wondering about California. U were probably thinking what a stupid question lol

        I guess that's ok for one cat. I've got 8 now in the house.

        I have 8 cats, but right now 7 of them seem to be “going” outside. I miss the free bags but there is MUCH less litter now so I’m happy. My neighbor gives me his paper plastic bags.

        Have done it for several years. Yes it was an adjustment.Yes, it's not funny the 18th time you run back to your car.And yes, I would rather carry my purchases out Jenga style then purchase another reusable bag. But my mentality about single use plastic has changed dramatically.
