CALIFORNIA BILL TO BAN The California State Senate is expected to vote Tuesday on a bill that would ban the use of plastic bags by retailers in the state, including grocery stores, convenience stores and drugstores. This year's Senate session ends Tuesday, so it's the last opportunity for the Senate to pass the bill. The California Assembly passed the legislation in June. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has said he would sign the measure into law, the Los Angeles Times reported. Environmental groups such as the Sierra Club have encouraged Californians to contact their state senators to push for the measure. The group Heal the Bay produced what it calls a "mockumentary," narrated by actor Jeremy Irons, called "The Majestic Plastic Bag" that charts the life of a plastic bag. The video is on YouTube. But the measure has its opponents, too. The American Chemistry Council criticized California Assemblywoman Julia Brownley, D-Santa Monica, who proposed the bill.
