This issue of plastic bags I heard on the news today is not worth focusing on. The issue of oil and the environment with global warming is much more of an issue. I really don't like to breathe smog from a cars exhaust pipe. I am sure most of the world would agree with that. I wish we could focus more on electric cars. The technology is available and efficient. If we began to drive electric the air would be much cleaner. If you were to go to California or other big cities, you can see a layer of smog over the city. It isn't very appealing to look at especially knowing that we have to breathe in that air. Electric cars would save a ton of money and foreign oil dependency would definitely drop. I also think that alternative fuels aren't being put to use as well as they should be either. Electric vehicles would be the best solution though. The Oregon Electric Vehicle Association would be a good place to start. You could meet with them and find out more information. Electric vehicles are ZERO emission vehicles.
