Recently, Hawaii has BANNED plastic bags. The law specifically bans non-biodegradable plastic bags at checkout counters as well as paper bags that are not at least 40 percent recycled.
Grocery stores and other vendors have three years to comply with the ban that officially starts on July 15, 2015. To keep our planet beautiful, it seems Biodegradable plastic bags and non woven totes are the wave of the future!!!

I actually miss the old paper bags grocery stores used to have.They had their faults,like only holding so much and getting wet,but we all knew to pick up the bags from the bottom.Some plastic bags are weak as well.As they say "all things old become new again"

ReplyDeleteRe-usable bags are proving more costly due to the presence of e-coli that occurs when bags are not properly washed. Love these tree-huggers as they sip on their Star-bucs lattes and look down their noses at us little people.
