Plastic Bag Ban

[brianelkinsswa]

I read an article I thought interesting and thought I would share. Some have also asked about the plastic bag issue. Hopefully we can ban them here, especially with the impending decision about where to build the new landfill. Here is an item that takes a lot of space when you imagine how many plastic bags you can use in one week.

Ikea also does not allow plastic bags, unless you pay 5 cents per bag.
