A ban on plastic shopping bags has gone into effect in the city of Santa Monica, CA, impacting shoppers at supermarkets, convenience and liquor stores, as well as pharmacies. City officials say enforcement of the ban won’t begin until September 1, allowing for a six-month grace period before penalties are levied. Fines will start at $75 per violation, with criminal prosecution possible for repeat offenders.
When is San Diego going to adopt this law. I'd like to start an initiative in communities within San Diego and see if it can spread throughout. For example, I can influence North Park to be the kick off community that embraces the ban of plastic shopping bags. What do you think?
