Plastic Bag Coalition Sues Manhattan Beach

Last month, the city of Manhattan Beach banned the plastic bag as plastic advocates promised to sue. And sue they did yesterday. "The Save the Plastic Bag Coalition has asked a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge to toss out the prohibition on grounds that the city violated the California Environmental Quality Act by not fully analyzing the environmental effects of such a ban, according to papers filed recently," says the Daily Breeze. When plastic bag advocates appeared on KCRW's Which Way LA?, they presented some of the weakest arguments ever in a debate.
