China bans plastic shopping bags
Chinese authorities on Tuesday said they're outlawing the plastic shopping bag because of pollution and energy concerns. China's State Council said the ban will start June 1. Firms that continue to sell, make and distribute bags thicker than 0.025 mm thick will be given fines and authorities may seize goods and profits, the State Council said. "Our country consumes huge amounts of plastic bags every year. While providing convenience to consumers, they have also caused serious pollution, and waste of energy and resources, because of excessive use and inadequate recycling," the government said in a statement, according to Reuters. "We should encourage people to return to carrying cloth bags, using baskets for their vegetables." According to Worldwatch Institute, an environmental research group, plastic bags dissolve over 1,000 years.
