Would You Like Paper? Plastic? Or a Mexican?

This from the San Francisco Chronicle (1), "The San Jose City Council has passed one of the country's strictest shopping bag bans, voting to bar retailers from giving out most paper and plastic bags. The ordinance passed Tuesday would prohibit stores from giving out free plastic shopping bags. Paper bags made with at least 40 percent recycled materials would be permitted, but only for a fee. "

The government (local, state, and federal) are never apart of the solution, only the problem.
