Not that we compare ourselves to San Jose that often, but our neighbor to the south has just become the largest city in the country to ban plastic grocery bags. We've been plastic-free at major grocery chains in the city for awhile now, but as the Weekly points out San Jose's 10-cent fee for paper makes more sense than our own legislation that allows us to double-bag with reckless abandon.
Supervisor Mirkarimi, always thinking of the trees, has already introduced legislation to charge the same fee in San Francisco, but we're still looking for answers on his holiday spread.
