China bans plastic bags

The Chinese use more than 1 trillion plastic bags a year -- 20% of the global total -- many of which end up choking sewers or decorating the countryside. To combat plastic pollution, the government is banning shops from giving free plastic bags, and barring factories from making ultrathin ones. But China isn't going from red to green just for Mother Earth. Production of plastic packaging devours 37 million barrels of oil a year. Cutting that figure would help the planet as well as China's balance sheet. -- Theunis Bates
