A Comment on a Colleagues Work

Our Lone Star Texas blog had a nice little piece on Austin's plastic bag ban.They made very strong points. I find it slightly amusing that the City of Austin has probably made the better decision in the long run to ban plastic bags, and yet our State Government (who's buisness is conducted in Austin) are laying plans to ban city bans (I couldn't resist the word play). Plastic bags and other non-biodegrading plastics also litter our oceans and kill wildlife. Texas, with it's miles and miles of coast line, should be learning from Austin instead of undermining it out of convenience.
