Portland bans plastic shopping bags

The city of Portland just passed a bill that will ban plastic shopping bags at big box stores such as Wal-Mart and Target. The bill will go into effect next year. They have had an ongoing problem with plastic bags on the beaches as well in the ocean. So they took the first step to help protect their coast. Way to go Portland!

We encourage everyone to use reusable shopping bags!
