South Australia has a new year’s resolution: no more plastic bags

ABC News

South Australia has moved to ban plastic bags from January 1 2009, and plans to have completely phased out the bags by May 2009.  SA authorities have said that 80 per cent of customers already use ‘green bags’ at the check-out, and they are urging other Australian states to follow their lead.
