Here's my take on the topic. I really see it as a great opportunity for U.S. cities to begin to take the lead on eliminating plastic and paper bags. I'll have to investigate a little more to see exactly what Portland is doing. May be I can pick up some pointers on how to get my own hometown of Denver to take a closer look at this issue. Right now, no one sees it as a problem. The tax penalty might be a good incentive once it gets launched. My Skip Waugh and I am with About that Bag (www.aboutthatbag.com).
