Скачать или смотреть California Banned Plastic Bags. So I Bought 50!!

California banned plastic grocery bags.

Plastic pollution went up anyway.

And now California families are paying $100–$200 a year for paper bags that rip before you even reach the parking lot.

So I went to Smart & Final to see what the “ban” actually looks like in the real world.

Turns out you can still walk into a California store and buy plastic bags.

Ten cents each.

Meanwhile the replacement paper bags require nearly 17 times more water to manufacture than the plastic bags they replaced.

And the majority of plastic film waste — the industrial pallet wrap used to ship products to stores — remains completely untouched by the law.

The result:

Higher costs for families.
More plastic waste than before.
And grocery stores collecting millions of dollars in bag fees.

California didn’t eliminate plastic.

It eliminated the plastic you can see.

Everything else is still coming through the loading dock.

This video breaks down how the policy actually works, where the money goes, and why Sacramento keeps targeting the smallest piece of the plastic supply chain.
