Vancouver Moves to Ban the Plastic Bag

I heard today that Vancouver City Council is considering banning plastic bags altogether in this fair city of ours, using the model that San Francisco has demonstrated. Australia and several other countries have already done away with plastic bags; China has ended free ones. I think Vancouverites will welcome the chance to do their part in reducing the pollution from discarded plastic bags, and to help reduce our dependence on oil, from which plastic bags are made.

Aren't you glad we have an alternative to the plastic bag, or any bag for that matter? We won't even notice when the plastic bag is gone!
