With plastic I get 1 straw and am fine. With paper I have to get a bunch since they get worthless after a couple seconds. More waste

It's only like a dime so I don't care that much, plus now they actually fill

Me too. No plastic. Paper is 5 cents per. A lot of people just buy $1 worth

Seems like California is one giant government-led MLM

That sums up basically almost any regulation made in the name of going green

The only way for the "ban" to work is to stop manufacturing plastic bags, right?

The ones you have to pay for are great for repurposing

And the stupid paper straws. Worthless. Might as well not have a straw.

They are worth all 10 cents. Very thick and durable..

This actually works. It's only $0.1, but I found myself severely cutting its use

Gotta echo this. I switched to reusable because of the additional charges.

And now you're doing more harm to the earth

I'm way past 100 uses with the bags in the back of my car. The bags are burlap btw.

Great article(s) on NPR about the costs of various bags--answer: no one solution

It works to cut grocery bag use, but does it work to save the envirnoment?

In the case of our family of five, we do reuse some of our plastic shopping bags

Kandy

We stopped using bags unless absolutely necessary, period.

There is plenty of proof these laws do more damage than good
