The latest in the plastic bag saga: Edmonds might ban them before Seattle does, thanks to quick and decisive work by their city council (now that's a foreign concept!). According to HeraldNet, Edmonds is well on its way to already implementing what could be a quick vote on the issue--the major Edmonds grocery store has already stopped using plastic to bag groceries, except for the small bags used to separate meat and fish packages, and in their version of the ban, the sanitary bags will remain legal. If they manage to ban plastic bags before August, that would make Edmonds the first city in Washington to regulate them. We always have thought of Edmondsians as trend-setters...!

The Edmonds City Council is really just a Rick Steeves Think Tank.
That doesn't sound so bad to me. In that case I assume they will decriminalizing marijuana next?
it's an edmonds kind of day!
Where in god's name is the American Chemistry Council on this? Why aren't they swooping in to protect my god-given right to carry five items in 2 plastic bags? It's a LEft-wing liberal conspiracy I tell you! They've put a block on the Chemistry Council computers! Someone get me that phone number. when they hear about this... they'll be furious.
Oh, wait, there's not as much money to be made on plastic bags in Edmonds as there is in Seattle you say? Makes sense now. carry on.
