Big news: County shoppers are using way fewer single use plastic carryout bags thanks to the Bring Your Own Bag Law I led! In only seven months, Sierra Club data show people have ditched plastic bags for reusable bags or no bag, curbing litter and protecting our waterways!

Pie chart graphs depict Sierra Club survey data that plastics carryout bag usage declined 48.5 percent, reusable bags usage increased 9.5 percent, and no bag usage increased 13.3 percent since Councilmember Stewart’s Bring Your Own Bag Law went into effect seven months ago.
