LA City Council Votes to Ban Plastic Bags

If you shop for shoes, clothes, kitchen supplies or groceries in the City of Los Angeles, forget about taking them home in plastic bags. The City Council today voted 11-to-one to ban plastic bags, and you'll have to bring your own reusable container or pay 10¢ for a plastic bag. Councilman Paul Koretz, whose district runs from West LA into the West San Fernando Valley, authored the measure.
