>The new measure, approved by state legislators last month, bans all plastic shopping bags starting in 2026. Consumers who don’t bring their own bags will now simply be asked if they want a paper bag.
Now we’ll see paper bags replacing all the plastic litter along the 10.
Got rid of them in Portland years ago, haven’t ever missed them. It’s weird to see them other places now, and remember they used to be everywhere. Good riddance
This has been the case in New York for some years now.
My penalty when I forget to bring in my reusable bags is to put everything back in my cart and roll it out with my receipt in my hand. Boy, do it get the looks.
