California is leading the nation now on the news tonight in banning plastic bags at the check out! There will be a 5 cent charge for paper bags or you have to bring your own re-usable bags.
Now pro plastic side of the arguement says that we will use too many trees up if we switch back to paper. After all California uses 19 billion bags per year alone. Some cities are already banning the plastic bags....
Remember folks.... its all eco challenging to begin with... lets see where this ends up next.. oh yes fruit and meat bags for storage are excluded you just cant carry your groceries in plastic it seems.
