Do you work for a plastic bag company?

The American Progressive Bag Alliance (representing Novolex, Hilex Poly, Superbag, and Advance Polybag) has:

> Spent $6+ million fighting California's bag ban through misleading ballot measures

"Misleading". 6m is hardly anything in a CA election. The article even agrees, “[The $6.1 million spent by manufacturers] is big money, but in California, for 17 ballot measures, it’s essentially petty cash,” he said.

How much evil money did the ban supporters spend? It's funny how negative you phrase the actions taken by the side you don't support.

And yet the ban exists.

> Funded studies claiming reusable bags harbor dangerous bacteria (while omitting that washing eliminates this)

I know lots of people that use re-useable cloth bags that don't wash them. How many studies did the environmental lobbies spend proving that plastic is horrible, ignoring the fact that most retailers simply replace cheap plastic bags with heavy duty "re-useable" plastic?

> Sued cities implementing bag bans, forcing expensive legal defenses

Nobody should sue cities now? That's pretty rich considering how often governments are sued by environmental groups.
