Plastic bags

Seattleites have been hotly debating Mayor Nickels proposal to charge a 20 cent fee on all bags at grocery stores in the city of Seattle. Meanwhile, I bet you didn't know that the Chinese government just prohibited the distribution of plastic bags by stores and shops throughout the country and will soon prohibit the production of them.
Meanwhile, Seattle residents will keep debating. Sometimes there are advantages to an authoritarian government I suppose.
More soon.....

Great to hear from you guys! About the bags...When Daniel and I were in Ireland we had to pay for bags or bring your own and that was almost 4 years ago!

Continue to enjoy your trip and we'll talk and see you soon.
