Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Effort to kill
California's ban on plastic grocery bags moves forward
Will plastic bags
be banned for grocery shopping? In some cities and counties in California, they
already are. But the move to ban the use of plastic bags, which was already
passed and signed, may have to clear a rigorous hurdle to be put into effect.
Who is opposing the
ban? The plastic bag manufacturers. They put millions of dollars in a campaign
against the ban and collected over a half million of signatures needed for an
appeal.
They say plastic
bags are easily recyclable. Environmentalists argue that such manufactures make
money at a cost of California’s environment.
Enjoy reading and
learning how economy and environment conflict in a certain situation.
