[Magdalen] "California becomes first state to ban [single-use] plastic bags".

[Grace Cangialosi]

The Outer Banks of North Carolina banned them a few years ago. I try to bring my own reusable bags as often as possible, though I need to do that at other places than the grocery store. Unless it's absolutely necessary, I don't use bags at all, and I think it's get that clerks generally ask if you want one.
