Paper or plastic will no longer be a choice at grocery store checkout lines in California under a new law signed Sunday by Gov. Gavin Newsom that bans all plastic shopping bags.
California had already banned thin plastic shopping bags at supermarkets and other stores, but shoppers could purchase bags made with a thicker plastic that purportedly made them reusable and recyclable.
The new measure, approved by state legislators last month, bans all plastic shopping bags starting in 2026. Consumers who don’t bring their own bags will now simply be asked if they want a paper bag. More
This is SO FUCKING STUPID as to defy belief.
But it’s Noisome and California, so believe it.
But shitting on the sidewalks, shooting up Fentanyl anywhere, and shoplifting $999 worth of goods is still totally legal.

…and leave us not forget they said reusable bags were toxic virus sumps during the Coof scam…

Warning: The State of California has determined that plastic shopping bags promote shopping and can be hazardous to your health.

…maybe they could dress police officers in plastic chicken outfits to enforce these minor legal infractions?
…naaah, never happen, that’s MUCH too silly and the police would…never…go…alon…

Cleveburg here – Didn’t work here either. Once people bring home the groceries, most people re-use them for a whole host of reasons! Paper bags can’t hold as much and often break and nobody washes re-usables.
“…asked if they want a paper bag.”
Are they offering them to the looters too?
“California had already banned thin plastic shopping bags at supermarkets and other stores,”
Wrong. They can charge you a dime for a thin plastic bag. They is the stores. Most stores just give you the bags at no cost. So in other words either no ones paying attention to this bull shit or they’re all breaking the law.
As far as the new law goes, you need to understand, about once a day a pink haired Libtard puts a plastic bag over their head and can’t figure out how to get it off. Sometimes they expire right there in the parking lot with other pink haired libtards filming it.
shoplifters will just have to back the truck up to the door
I guess that means shoplifters/looters can’t stuff their haul into a PLASTIC garbage bag?
Trees used for wood pulp hardest hit. Don’t tell all the green eco weenie tree huggers this.
…give ’em time.
Once they cheat Kommie in, there wont be anything to put in the bags anyway…
All this is due to that idiot actress from Seinfeld (Julia Dryfus)
Shop at Aldi and grab some of their boxes off the shelf to put your groceries in…
Just another thing the government has no business inserting themselves in. Damn busybodies want to control everything, after seven decades plus I’m surprised people haven’t already resisted – just a little.
They had better order up a ton of shopping carts because I think they will be running out very soon.
Everyone used to use the old plastic grocery bags as trash bags. When they banned them, the sales of plastic trash bags shot up 70 to 80%.
Machts Nichts to me But… what the faggots in Calikiddiepornia do seeps up through Whoregon to arrive here in SayWA, wash your handsington, limpwristed soy feeding incels and dykes… land of the single serving meal, cat litter and wine prominently displayed at the Whole Foods market nearest you.
We ditched paper bags for the environment here in soyville at the behest of our communist masters a while ago. Then the plastic that replaces the paper has to go, and the paper gets rehabilitated… slightly. Now we go back around that gnrarly buckra horn and help the soy cadre leftists suck themselves back into serenity… again. The loons are chasing their tails hard now… I hope they catch those tails and choke to death on them.
What’s really ironical about this is on every side walk or walking trail, spaced about 1/4 mile apart, is a little green container with thin plastic bags and plastic gloves to pick up your dogs shit. I probably pass 20 of them on the way into work. That started about the same time as their first attempt at banning plastic bags.
They are going to ban Menthol cigarettes AFTER the election so now is the time to open a CA border store carrying all the shit they ban…
Didn’t they do this already? I thought they were one of the first to do this.
Force Newsom to focus on what’s important. Defund the California legislature. If the legislators want money give them a percentage of the money saved by repealing laws, programs, regulations, and unnecessary government jobs. Go to a part time legislature that is only in session for 90 days every other year.
@Brad: They need those poop bags near the homeless encampments.
@Cynic: Hard to pick up butt stew.
I remember when they said we were destroying all the trees for paper bags and you couldn’t get a paper bag. Then a few stores started paper or plastic. I only know of one grocery store that still does that.
So I started re-using the plastic bags for the bathroom trash cans.
I actually prefer paper bags for my groceries, less gets smashed because of idiots who don’t know how to bag and it’s also fewer bags.
