San Francisco: Paper, not Plastic (plus Sharon Rowe & EcoBags)
EcoBags founder Sharon Rowe joins Betsy to celebrate San Francisco's decision to ban plastic bags from all supermarkets, which I predict will come to be seen as a shining example of responsible governments (and local governments at that-- forget about Bush, contact City Hall!) setting the table for practical, innovative businesspeople to feast on the opportunity to make a sustainable living. Practical, innovative businesspeople like Ms. Rowe, who saw the writing on the wall (or the plastic bags in the trees) way back in 1989. LISTEN (11 min)
I am the recycling manager for a florida municipality. We like to give promotional items away to encourage waste reduction - we recently orded the Chico Bag. We had it printed to read "The Smart Bag" I hope that Florida can soon follow California footsteps.
