发帖数: 34403 | 1 The nation's first state-wide ban on plastic bags has been pushed back more
than a year after opponents secured enough signatures to put it to a public
vote.
California passed a law last year that prohibits stores from handing out
single-use plastic bags for free to consumers. The law was set to go into
effect in July.
But the plastics industry and bag manufacturers have been up in arms against
it.
On Tuesday, the California secretary of state announced that opponents had
secured enough signatures to put the ban to a referendum in November 2016,
meaning the ban is effectively on hold until then. |
