THE TROUBLESOME BAGPeople of Illinois, we have a problem. A bag-shaped, semi-translucent, distributed-at-your-local-Jewel-and-Wal-Mart problem: lo and behold, the plastic bag. They’re endlessly convenient, cost-efficient to make, and as it turns out, pretty terrible for the environment, and it hasn’t gone unnoticed. Obviously, we’ve all got questions: how bad are plastic bags, really? What’s the state of the Earth? What will the state of the Earth be in twenty years? What can be done about it? What can I do?
