Great News As Paper Shopping Bags California Get Banned

By Elizabeth Young


Plastic bags pose a great threat to the environment. They are bio-degradable in nature and this leads to all sorts of eco problems. These bags get used to ferry goods and supplies purchased at the local grocery stores. In the last general elections the residents of California finally decided enough was enough. They resorted to voting against the use of the nylon bags entirely. All paper shopping bags California are now completely banned.

As was to be expected, the motion got a lot of stiff opposition. Who else would have opposed such remarkable developments than the manufacturers of these products? Yes, the companies came out guns blazing. They even managed to raise a couple of millions with the sole intention of convincing the voters against their intentions. Hopefully, they failed and reason triumphed.

Some of the leading plastic bags manufacturers tried to convince the masses that such a move was ill-advised. They argued that they still needed more time to come up with efficient solutions to address the obvious problems. Luckily, the voters felt that they had already given the dealers enough time to rethink their strategies, to no avail. Hence, no more excuses; away with the bags.

Celebrations run wild all across the state and in the nation as well. After the results came out and it was official that California would be a no plastic bags zones from there on, environmentalists had reason to pop open the champagne bottles. To them, it was a great victory for the delicate marine life which was suffering immensely from the effects of the pollution caused by the products.

This move is poised to have a pronounced repercussions on the other states. Neighboring states and those far away across the nation have started to reevaluate their hard lying stance on this products. It only takes one domino to crumble and the rest come tumbling down. Soon, it is expected that all the other companies which produce substances which adversely affect the planet are going to get bullied into following suit.

The decision is a sure step in the right direction as far conservation is concerned. Hopefully, in due time the traces of litter found on both the shores of the Pacific and on the interior of the ocean will start dwindling and disappearing. That will be a huge boost to the valiant efforts of the marine experts who have had to bear witness to the genocide of fish and other aqua marine courtesy of the bags.

The ravaging effects of the substances have caused an untold harm to the ecosystems. Fishes turning up dead on shores has become an everyday occurrence in California and elsewhere. The destruction and the eventual disappearing of vital marine life has also been observed many thousands of miles from the shores of this state. The products have exacerbated the green-house effects felt on the planet.

It is now up to the shoppers to go back to the drawing board and rethink their next moves. Seeing to it that the bags they so got used to are no longer available, it is in their best interest to become creative. Many Californians are now opting to make the bags themselves. The Internet is full of fantastic ideas for anyone interested in learning how to make the products at home.
