Plastic bag bans are the latest eco goal

Grocery shopping and Target trips in St. Louis Park may never be the same.

The city is on the verge of doing something that no other city in Minnesota has done: enacting a complete ban on single-use plastic bags.

Even ultra-green Boulder, Colo., a city synonymous with environmentalism, hasn’t gone that far. Many California cities have banned plastic bags, but when a statewide ban was put in place last year, fierce pushback from the bag industry forced a delay and a statewide vote that will take place in November 2016.
