San Francisco to be first US city to ban plastic bags
Lawmakers in the northern Californian city of around 800,000 people passed a bill late Tuesday preventing larger supermarkets and drugstores from offering shoppers plastic bags.

Mayor Gavin Newsom is expected to sign the bill into law. ..>

1. We have already done it (Tiburon).
Our two grocery stores are required to offer recyclable plastic and paper bags.

We also have a ban on trans fats for our restaurants.

Get in line, San Francisco, and let Tiburon lead the way.

I can see the lights of San Francisco from every window in my house.

3. We don't need H f H...
Because we are building low-income housing out of our own pockets. Our very own fucking pockets.

You?

4. Yeah, we volunteer labor & $$$.
Like everywhere else though, we could do much more. I'm glad your projects are going ahead.
