• California plastic bag ban brings hope of a cleaner future (scotscoop.com) — Belmont shoppers are already ahead of California’s new plastic bag rules, with many residents reportedly relying on reusable bags at local grocery stores. A statewide law that took effect January 1 closes a major loophole by banning all plastic checkout bags, pushing stores toward paper or durable reusables and aiming to cut long-lasting plastic waste that harms wildlife and human health.
