California's Assembly is voting today, June 2, 2010 to ban single use grocery bags. The ban would begin January 2012 and would apply to a few stores. It would then be expanded to include convenience stores and food marts the following year. The measure has the support of the Grocers Association, the governor's office and Californian's Against Waste.
