View this post on Instagram States are walking back their plastic bag bans, after passing them just last year. Mass. Gov. Charlie Baker R announced Wednesday, that "reusable bags are prohibited," lifting "all regulations" on bags for the time being. Boston's Mayor Marty Walsh implemented a similar mandate earlier the same day. On the same day, Maine Gov. Janet Mills announced her state would delay enforcement of their plastic bag until January 15 of next year. New Hampshire's Gov. Chris Sununu tweeted over the weekend, telling residents going shopping to leave "reusable bags at home given the potential risk to baggers, grocers, and customers." Maryland's House passed a bill that would have banned single use plastic bags, but it has been "delayed," amidst the pandemic.
