With Los Angeles on the verge of becoming the nation's largest city to ban single-use bags at supermarkets and convenience stores, the plastics industry is beginning to fight back.
With a series of radio and television commercials along with a website (www.bagtheban.com) the American Progressive Bag Alliance also is lobbying city lawmakers to try to head off the plans to outlaw use of the bags.
"We are engaging in the process of dialogue on lots of different fronts," said Donna Dempsey, spokeswoman for the alliance. "Each city is different, each municipality is unique and we are trying to design our message for Los Angeles."
And it apparently is beginning to work.
In the radio commercial, the announcer said: "At some point we need to draw the line on crazy laws...Tell the politicians to get a grip."
