Morgan Hill has joined numerous cities throughout California in researching a ban or fee on plastic and paper bags from retail and grocery stores.
While implementation of any banning plan is a long way off, says environmental programs manager Tony Eulo, the city is keeping an eye on San Jose's efforts, along with the 13 other cities that make up the Santa Clara County Cities Association. Down south, Los Angeles County's 88 cities are considering "bag-control measures" as well, according to Californians Against Waste, a nonprofit environmental advocacy group.
In this video, we talk to a shopper and a grocery store manager about the prevalence of reusable bag use and the possibility of a reusable-only plan.
