California has [ banned stores from handing out gratis one-use plastic bags ](
http://m.motherjones.com/environment/2014/09/california-bans-plastic-bags ) . We need to make bags, and other food packaging, out of plastics that will truly biodegrade in a few years. I taught myself a couple of years ago to reuse larger, tougher plastic bags. I carry 3 of them in my computer bag and mostly avoid single-use bags.
