Joining an ever growing list of places that are fed up with the mess left over from the rampant use of plastic bags China (!) has decided they are going to ban them. China is not known for its environmental track record, but with 1.3 billion people anytime they do anything (even little things) good for the planet it is amplified by a very large amount.

China’s State Council put a nationwide ban on all plastic bags, they are now demanding that all stores go plastic-bag free after June 1st. China uses more plastic bags than any other country (even us gluttons here in the USA), wasting 37 million barrels of crude oil a year on plastic bag production.
