Starting Jan 1st, 2020 stores will no longer be allowed to provide single use plastic bags for shoppers. Instead, shoppers can bring their own bags, or purchase paper bags for 5 cents a piece, or purchase reusable plastic or fabric bags. 

Restaurants will still be allowed to provide a paper bag without a charge. 

It can take hundreds of years for plastic bags to decompose.
