China’s ban on the distribution and manufacture on the ultra thin plastic bags took effect last week on June 1. Retailers will also be banned from giving out free regular plastic bags.Have you ever wondered, the amount of toxic material we are ingesting which the bag likely emits when in direct contact at such high temperatures?

I was happy to come across today’s China Daily article reporting some immediate health benefits from the May 1 smoking ban that I mentioned in my prior post . Though perhaps not the type that immediately comes to mind, we’ll take what we can get.
