100 Billion Plastic Bags Saved from Landfills in China
Monday, February 7, 2011 at 11:50PM In 2008, China implemented a new law forcing grocers to sell plastic bags to shoppers. While the law was rarely enforced, the ban still saved nearly 100 billion plastic bags from Chinese dumps and landfills. Meanwhile, back in the USA, California, known as one of the most environmentally friendly states in the Union, voted against a similar ban in 2010.
