I remember a time when there were no disposable plastics bags, also lighters, pens and wrapping for fruit and vegetables at the grocery store. I remember the central bay on the coast without plastic garbage in it. Anyone who spends time along waterways or at the ocean has seen dead animal life with plastic as a cause.
Fast-foward and .. it is measurably true to plastics on the ocean largely originate in East Asia and other non-USA places.. populations are very large there. It is not exactly California that is the source of the majority of plastics in the waterway.
However, note to the people complaining about inconvenience -- there are no plastic bags in nature. They are deadly to many life forms, and entirely man-made. How much pollution do you think is OK? Where is the place to stop it?
