There has been a lot of pressure applied lately to begin the extinction of plastic grocery bags. A wide variety of bills and ordinances have come up across the nation as cities, counties and states have decided to try and do their part in plastic bag elimination. Of course, it wasn’t shocking at all to learn that Seattle, Washington was one of the first, passing a city ordinance imposing a $0.20 tax per bag. What is somewhat shocking is the recent vote to repeal this ordinance. It seems residents are more interested in recycling bags than doing away with them. It just goes to show how truly diverse opinions are about this subject. So where do you sit – get rid of the bags, recycle them, make them biodegradable?
