LA County’s decisions on on plastic bags went down this week! The deets:

>> Join the anti-plastic bag rally 1/22. Yes, LA environmentalists are planning an anti-plastic-bag rally.

>> Today’s plastic bag hearing: No, it wasn’t about a ban or a tax. I hear NPR hyped it, and I know TV crews showed up, but the much ballyhooed plastic bag hearing today wasn’t actually about banning the plastic bag — or even about taxing it.

>> The Skinny on L.A. County’s new anti-plastic bag legislation. The final decision made doesn’t require any changes, really, until July 2010. Still, the fate of plastic bags in LA is more complicated than that.

>> Why not a ban?: Details on the anti-plastic bag hearing. Many environmentalists thought enviro-org Heal the Bay was pushing for a ban on plastic bags. Well, this may be true in an abstract sense, but in reality, Heal the Bay agreed to much, MUCH less with the LA County Board of Supervisors.
