Carpinteria CA - Bag Ban
The Carpinteria City Council has voted on March 12, 2012 in favor of a ban of both single-use paper and plastic bags at major retailers in the city. Smaller stores also cannot provide plastic bags to customers but can provide a paper bag for ten cents. The 4-1 decision makes Carpinteria the first South Coast city to finalize a 'Reusable Bag Ordinance', one of the strictest throughout the state of California. Congrats to the Surfrider Foundation Santa Barbara Chapter for their efforts throughout this campaign! http://www.keyt.com/news/local/Carpinteria-Bans-Single-Use-Plastic-Bags-Across-the-Board-142429735.html
