California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed a law banning all plastic shopping bags at grocery stores, which will take effect in 2026. This follows prior legislation that restricted thinner plastic bags but allowed thicker, supposedly reusable ones. Supporters of the ban argue that the previous regulations did not significantly reduce plastic waste. Environmental activists have praised this move as a crucial step in combating plastic pollution and protecting marine life.
