Total Ban on Plastic Bags Proposed

(Via NEWS.com.au) Correct me if I'm wrong, but, around twenty years ago, didn't the environmental crowd whoop and holler about the use of paper bags in society causing the destruction of "millions of tree?" There was a massive effort to get businesses, government and private citizens to switch to using plastic bags in lieu of the wasteful paper bags. And many did.

Well, times change and now some activists consider the plastic bags as causing significant harm to the environment because they are not being recycled and end up in landfills. Get ready for the Greenies to get a total ban on plastic bags in Australia.
