California Set To Experience New Era As Governor Gavin Newsom Passes New Bill

It appears that a new era is about to begin in California following the law that was passed recently regarding environmental stewardship. 

California Governor Gavin Newsom comes good on his word towards environmental stewardship by sanctioning a law that prohibits any supermarket across the state from using single-use plastic bags. 

This decision is a move towards reigniting the fight against plastic pollution and its effects on the environment, as California has been known for in the past.

Taking the  Step towards sustainability

The new law, which will come into force in the next few months, will be aimed at banning grocery retailers from offering plastic bags to consumers. However, consumers will be encouraged to use reusable bags or opt-in for paper bags in case of their purchase. 

The goal behind this, as stated by the Californian Government, is to minimize the levels of plastic pollution that are thrown into landfills and bodies of water that have always had adverse effects on the lives and structures of animals and plants.

The Push for Change

This move made by the Governor of California is again another proof of his commitment to long-lasting change and transformation towards a more healthy California. 

The Governor also focused on the need to eliminate single-use plastics, as he pointed out that ‘this legislation shows a proper start at preserving the earth for future generations’. The governor’s administration has been quite vocal about its stand on the current issue of plastics and the call for people to come up with better ways of dealing with them.

Netizens React Positively To The Recent Development.

Following the news of the new law, the ban has been welcomed by various individuals, environmentalists, and consumers in California in particular.

 It is seen by many as a most positive development as part of their continuing push toward sustainability and responsibility. 

Many have applauded the Governor for maintaining his stance and ensuring that the law is upheld toward a safer environment for all inhabitants of California.
