My partner was one of the few who attended the Pahoa installment of the Hawaii County Council's public hearing on banning plastic shopping bags.
From what I hear, the debate was pretty passionate.
Over last night's dinner (with friends) the topic arose, arguments ensured and the sides were drawn along anti-pollution concerns against the less-government-intrusion-in-of-my-life position.
I don't think I've seen much discussion on Punatalk concerning the proposed ban and am curious how Puna residents feel about it - and why.
