I thought this was going to be an interesting story and it wasn't. It did not go into any detail about what effect banning plastic bags would have on the environment. Are they recommending paper? Will shoppers have to bring their own? What is the plan? Can plastic bags be recycled? Is that why they are banning them? There was very little information. When the bagger says "plastic or paper" I never know which is best....and after reading this I still don't know.
