What is the only state in the USA to have banned plastic bags?

Plastic bags are modern day tumbleweeds that can be seen floating in the sea and across the land. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch, which is a huge area of plastic litter floating in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, is estimated to be twice the size of Texas. The Garbage Patch has not only grown 100 fold in 40 years, it has also changed the way some marine life reproduce.* Many states have considered banning plastic bags but supporters face extreme opposition from the plastics industry and big oil lobbyists.
