As editor of Plastics News, I scan scores of Web sites, emails and news releases daily, and stay in constant touch with our network of global staff reporters and correspondents -- the largest reporting team in the plastics industry. I distill the more interesting items into commentary for this blog. Plastics News, part of Crain Communications Inc., began publishing weekly news in 1989, and launched a bilingual China site in mid-2005. In 2007, Crain acquired the two leading English-language plastics publications in Europe - Plastics & Rubber Weekly and the monthly European Plastics News.
The Diane Rehm Show on National Public Radio will feature a segment this morning on efforts to ban plastic bags. Guests include Donna Dempsey, spokeswoman for the Progressive Bag Alliance; Sam Shrophsire, an Annapolis, Md., alderman who has proposed a bag ban in that city; and Jon Coifman of the Natural Resources Defense Council.
The program is scheduled to air at 11 a.m. ET.
