Mayor Tries To Resurrect Plastic Bag Ban
SANTA BARBARA - A recent California Supreme court ruling made it easier for cities to ban plastic bags. Santa Barbara city Mayor Helene Schneider asked to have the plastic bag issue brought back on the agenda for review in a City Council meeting this afternoon.
A motion was made by Schneider to put it back on the agenda in the next meeting. The agenda item was seconded and voted on. The City Council voted to deny the motion.

It is really a dilemma. May I suggest this: ban plastic bags yet GIVE AWAY hemp-based bags! Hemp is 10X stronger than cotton and is 100% biodegradable! BE SMART - DEPART from plastic and do something drastic: do hemp!!!
