No More Plastic Bags

Westport, Conn., became the latest of a handful of communities to ban some plastic bags. The bags, which have only a brief, useful life, can survive forever in landfills and are of enormous concern to not only environmentalists but local officials who are running out of places to put their trash. Americans use and dispose of at least 100 billion bags every year. And about only 5 percent of all plastic bags are recycled nationwide.
