The Chinese Government announced that they will ban all Plastic Bags used in the country. The Chinese use 3 billion plastic bags a day and banning them will save about 37 million barrels of oil to produce them. Good to hear something positive out of there.
about 6 years ago this was done in south africa. the government there reversed its policy a while later. it will work in china because of the totalitarian system, but the libertarian in me feels that this is too much government intrusion. i would just like to believe that at some point we as civilized beings will see what a drag they are economically and environmentally!

Isn't the central tenet of Libertarianism the principle of liberty?
I don't like worrying about oil when the lungs of the planet will suffer. What is the alternative bag? Paper... With so much deforestation we should focus on biodegradable plastic bags and make hydrogen a reality for cars to offset the petroleum crisis.
