Task Force Releases Report On Plastic Bag Use
Could New York soon ban the use of all plastic grocery and store bags statewide? That’s one of the options put forth by a NY State task force which released a report on ways to reduce the impact of the 23 billion bags used annually. Other options being suggested include implementing a per-bag fee and requiring bag manufacturers to spend more money to create a more robust bag recycling program. There are a number of municipalities across the country who have implemented plastic bag bans but so far no state has put a ban in place
