      <![CDATA[Hey Mick,
    
    Received this comment over at the Chicago Daily Observer, after syndicating your post....yes someone besides spambots and our fellow Chicago Obsessives are reading your info...

    Mick --
    
    The twenty-cent fee I have proposed would cover both plastic and paper bags (turns out the paper bags are four times worse for the environment). The money raised would be used to make sure every household has at least one reusable bag as well as other environmental investments. In Seattle alone we use 360,000,000 disposable bags each year (600 per person). Our goal is to reduce that number by at least 70%. Here are the details:

    It's part of a change from a culture of conspicuous consumption to one of conspicuous conservation.
    
    Best wishes --
    Greg Nickels
    Mayor of Seattle

      <![CDATA[Not to mention, evidence that ANY plastic bags are being recycled into anything is somewhere between slim and non-existent.
    
    Stories of the bags being burned as fuel in China/SE Asia are floating around, it would be great to know what the scoop really is.
