Santa Monica city council has joined Malibu.
It voted two nights ago to ban disposable plastic for food containers, specifically banning food providers from using plastic straws, plates, bowls, trays, utensils, cups, stirrers.
Everythign except plastic coffee cup lids.
It is not accurate to say that the plastics ban sweeping the civilized world originated in Malibu.
But it got a major boost from here.

We end this newscast with an editorial … this one reprinted from the Swift County Montor … … a weekly serving Swift County . Minnesota:
Brutal dictators of the past, Russia’s Stalin, Germany’s Hitler, and Venezuela’s Chavez … have called the press the enemy of the people.
Today’s thugs and strongmen use similar words – Syria’s President Bashar Assad and the Philippines’ President Rodrigo Duterte – as they kill thousands of their own citizens.
President Donald Trump has singled out the men and women of the press.
Pointing his finger at the television and newspaper reporters covering the event he called their organizations the “fake, fake, disgusting news” and called the reporters “horrible, horrendous people.”
His animosity incites his crowds to turn on the press with angry words, profane gestures and threats of harm.
We also live in a time when a trusted press is essential to ensuring an informed electorate has the honest reporting it needs to make decisions in the voting booth.
When you read a story in the Wall Street Journal, you do so with the assurance that immense reportorial and editorial effort has been expended to ensure that what you read is factual.
That very same rigor applies to news organizations large and small across the nation.
We strive to do our best, often with limited resources, to inform our readers with accurate, unbiased information.
We shouldn’t have to fear for the lives of journalists doing their jobs – not in America!”
An editorial … from the Swift County Monitor … … a weekly serving Swift County … Minnesota.
And now .. a response from President Donald trump.
He tweeted this morning …
“There is nothing that I would want more for our Country than true FREEDOM OF THE PRESS. The fact is that the Press is FREE to write and say anything it wants, but much of what it says is FAKE NEWS, pushing a political agenda or just plain trying to hurt people. HONESTY WINS!”

We end this newscast with an editorial … this one reprinted from the Belen News Bulletin … a weekly serving Valencia County New Mexico.
“We’ve been complacent.
“We thought everybody knew how important a free press was to our world and that all this talk about us being the enemy of the people would be dismissed for the silliness that it is.
“But the reckless attacks have continued, instigated and encouraged by our president.
“When the leader of the free world works to erode the public’s trust in the media, the potential for damage is enormous, both here and abroad. “
“We once set an example of free and open government for the world to follow.
“Now those who seek to suppress the free flow of information are doing so with impunity.
“The time has come for us to stand up to the bullying.
The role journalism plays in our free society is too crucial to allow this degradation to continue.”
“We aren’t the enemy of the people.
“We are the people.
“We aren’t fake news.
“We are your news and we struggle night and day to get the facts right.”
An editorial …. from this morning’s Belen News Bulletin … a weekly newspaper in Belen … New Mexico.
