In this photo taken Tuesday, Sept. 20, 2016, a woman fills a plastic bag with potatoes at a Chinatown produce stand in San Francisco. California voters are considering a November referendum that would uphold or overturn a statewide ban on single-use plastic carryout bags, and another ballot initiative that would require fees collected from retail customers for alternative bags be put in an environmental fund. In 2007, San Francisco banned plastic shopping bags, setting off a movement that’s led to nearly half the state and its biggest cities to do the same. (AP Photo/Eric Risberg)
