More Plastic Bag Restrictions?
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors will vote on whether to expand the city's ban on plastic bags Tuesday. The new plan would ban the bags from all businesses -- not just large grocery stores and pharmacies -- and it would impose a surcharge on other bags.
Last month San Jose implemented one of the nation's strictest bans on plastic bags. How are communities accepting the new restrictions?
Host: Michael Krasny
Guests:
- David Lewis, executive director of Save the Bay
- Stephen Joseph, counsel with the Save the Plastic Bag Coalition, a group of plastic bag manufacturers and reusable bag manufactures
