New York follows the UK
Normally it would be the other way around, the UK following what happens in the US, but it would seem that New York are following a craze that started in the small village of Modbury, they were the first place to ban plastic bags, although it seems that an all out ban is slightly over the top this trend has definitely begun to escalate into something very big indeed.
The proposals that are going to be to be put down are that stores with over 5000 square feet will have to set up an in store recycling program and also sell reusable bags. It’s about that this spread a lot further than just a couple of cities (San Francisco was the first in the US) and the odd village in the UK!
