Progressive Bag Alliance supports Mayor White

The name might sound like a parody, but the Progressive Bag Alliance has a mission -- to save plastic grocery bags, and Mayor White is in its camp:

Some cities, including Austin, that once considered plastic bag bans, like one approved by San Francisco this spring, have begun leaning toward a different option, heavily favored by plastic bag makers: recycling.

Houston Mayor Bill White also recently expressed support for recycling plastic bags over a ban, although the city is not actively weighing specific initiatives for either approach.

One can only hope there are more pressing issues for the city to tackle right now.
