City council again considers plastic-bag ban 07/25/12.

Ban those plastic bags is a good idea and a necessary one for the future.  People will very soon get used to the idea of using their reusable bags.  The commented below scoffed at this saying it was not important.  He couldn’t be more wrong, in environments like Homer where the natual beauty is a thing of wonder, to have it polluted by plastic bags, straws, coffey cup lids, plastic cutlery is simply shamful and not wanted.  The general plublic will not do much to improve the situation on their own so measures like these are necessary to move us forwards to a cleaner and sustainable future.
