Ironically, the City of Carmel does not have to do an EIR to ban plastic bags because the city is so small its contribution is deemed not environmentally significant. So, this is pure politically correct posturing by the city council. On the other hand, if the city council had real environmental concerns then the council would have added a charge for paper bags and not exempted restaurants, nonprofits and so-called hardship cases.
