Walmart bans single-use bags in more stores

 CNN - Walmart will eliminate single-use paper and plastic carryout bags at the register from stores in New York, Connecticut and Colorado this month. The company previously stopped giving out single-use plastic bags in New York and Connecticut and in some areas in Colorado. Walmart offers reusable shopping bags starting at 74 cents for customers without their own bags... Ten states, as well more than 500 localities around the country, have passed measures to ban or restrict thin plastic and, in some cases, paper bags, according to a database compiled by the Surfrider Foundation, an environmental protection group.
