Al-Jazeera on China's new plastic bag ban

This is Al-Jazeera's take on the new nationwide ban on plastic bags that begins June 1 this year. Apparently, Australia now also follows China's lead to ban plastic bags. Time to take your own bags when you go grocery shopping guys! Remember, you're helping China to save 37 million barrels of oil each year.

Two thumbs up for China's environment, assuming the newfound oil supplement gets redirected (or for that matter saved) towards more envionrmental friendly practices. Great, now i'll actually have to use legitimate garbage bags for my refuse.

yeah, this is great news!!!
