		<description><![CDATA[Italy has banned single-use plastic bags as of January 1, the first European Union country to do so.  The move is a huge shift for a nation that uses 20 billion bags a year and is well, known for being a fantastic place to shop.  For now stores can use up their plastic bags already in stock, and afterwards, can only offer bags made out of cloth, paper, or natural fibers.  Naturally the plastic industry is not pleased, and has spent heavily to resist similar efforts elsewhere.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So what is better for the pocketbook or the planet:  paper plates or ceramic plates?  The downside to the use of ceramic plates is that they have got to be washed, and no water-free cleaning system has come around yet--and probably never will.  Paper plates of course do not need to be washed, but then there is the waste issue.  Well, one green “celebrity” site has decided that paper plates are the way to go.

		<description><![CDATA[Flush with a budget of US$3 million, the 100 Percent Cork campaign hosts events and gives away tickets to events while hosting others.
