plastic bags

Massachusetts is one step closer to banning plastic bags and reducing straw and plasticware use.

The new plastic bag ban went into effect yesterday, but the state is giving stores an extra month to be assessed fines.

Quick, before they're gone! Get yourself one of the last of its kind!

My favorite plastic bags have to be the sturdy ones that we get from Stewart's Shops. It was announced recently that they will be complying with the plastic bag ban and doing away with theirs too.

With the ban on plastic bags just a little over a month away, some local supermarkets are now adding an extra charge if you want to use paper.

We know the plastic bag ban has been passed, but a local city is on its way to banning more plastic soon.

If lawmakers have their way, it could cost you more to check out of the grocery store. But in return, you would be helping to save the environment.

I already spent enough money going grocery shopping and sometimes I'm forgetful. Now, if this task force get what they want, I'm going to be charged for forgetting!
