For an overview of the problems that plastic bags cause our environment, as well as some of the solutions, take a listen to the newest Annie Leonard podcast:  “The Good Stuff — Episode 1:  Take THAT, Plastic Bags”

http://www.storyofstuff.org/2012/01/22/take-that-plastic-bags/.
Annie  Leonard has a lengthy and far-ranging conversation with Andy Keller of ChicoBag.  Annie also talks about her journey to Asia, where she tracked those plastic bags that folks throw into their local recycle bins.  Annie reports that according to the U.S. Commerce Department, massive amounts of plastic goes overseas, only to be burned and buried in landfills over there.
Take a moment and take a listen!
