Check out our vice chairman getting interviewed at Huntington Beach on International Surfing Day.
Thanks James.

The bag ban bill AB 1998 passed out of the California State Legislature in June. It was followed by an outstanding statement of support from the Governor (below). Now we need the final push to get this bill through the Senate in August.

AB 1998 would ban plastic single-use carryout bags and require recycled paper carryout bags be sold at supermarkets, retail pharmacies and convenience stores throughout the state. SF, Malibu, Fairfax and Palo Alto have banned plastic bags and at least 20 more cities in California are considering this approach. Rather than taking a piecemeal city-by-city approach, AB 1998 will create one uniform policy for addressing all types of single-use bags to encourage consumers to use resusable bags, a more sustainable alternative.
