Seattle to charge .20 for plastic/paper bags

On Monday, the Seattle City Council approved a 20-cent fee, starting in January, for each disposable paper or plastic bag used at grocery, drug and convenience stores.

While other U.S. cities have banned plastic bags, Seattle is believed to be the first to discourage use by charging a fee.

Like other earth-friendly northwesterners, I recycle and do other stuff to minimize my impact on mother nature, but this bugs me. Seattle's mayor is a nanny.
