San Francisco became the first city to ban plastic bags in April 2007, and since then, similar bans and taxes have been proposed or passed in other California towns as well as cities in Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island Vermont, Virginia and Washington. Most legislation has cited the environmental impact of disposable bags, which often end up as litter on the ground or in lakes and oceans where it can harm marine life.
