Meanwhile - in Brownsville, Texas
I understand the concept here; however, I don't understand the exceptions, as well as the fact that nothing will change environmentally if everyone decides to just pay the fee...
Rafael Carranza has the story at ValleyCentral.com:
"Under new changes to the ban on plastic bags in Brownsville, shoppers will be charged an extra dollar for every transaction in which they use plastic bags after the ban goes into effect.
Starting January 5, the use of plastic bags will be banned inside the Brownsville city limits in effort to go green."
