Hailey To Vote On Plastic Bags

In a classic David vs. Goliath battle, a high school environmental club is taking on a national plastic bag manufacturer with its initiative on Tuesday’s ballot to ban disposable plastic grocery bags in Hailey, Idaho. The Wood River High School Environmental Club has spent nine months working to get an ordinance passed that would put politically conservative Idaho in the same ranks as California, where other cities have ban disposable bags in the last couple of years. “We do all these trash cleanups and saw them littered all over the city, in the trees, in the road, in my front yard,” Maggie Williams, a 16-year-old club member told the Idaho Business Review . “It’s kind of disgusting”/ Wendy Koch , USA Today.
