This week, New York City residents are encouraged to go cold turkey and ditch the plastic and paper bags while shopping. That’s right, it’s #BYOBag – time to remember those reusable bags you have sitting around and put them to good use.

Several city council members are working to get a bill passed that would require retail and grocery stores to charge at least 10 cents per bag used. You can learn more about the movement here and the bill here.
