Los Angeles bans plastic bag

摘要

Los Angeles has banned plastic bags in the city of Los Angeles. Effective January 1 2014 city's plastic bag ban will start with stores of more than 10,000 square feet or with annual sales of more than $2 million. Then, beginning on July 1, the ban will extend to smaller stores such as mini-marts. Los Angeles is joining a growing trend of cities across the country — in California alone, about 90 cities or counties have passed plastic bag ordinances within recent years, according to the group Californians Against Waste.
