Topic Reading-Vol.997-1/3/2015

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Effort to kill California's ban on plastic grocery bags moves forward
Will plastic bags be banned for grocery shopping? In some cities and counties in California, they already are. But the move to ban the use of plastic bags, which was already passed and signed, may have to clear a rigorous hurdle to be put into effect.
Who is opposing the ban? The plastic bag manufacturers. They put millions of dollars in a campaign against the ban and collected over a half million of signatures needed for an appeal.
They say plastic bags are easily recyclable. Environmentalists argue that such manufactures make money at a cost of California’s environment.
Enjoy reading and learning how economy and environment conflict in a certain situation.
