Paper or plastic? That may not be your choice much longer at Wichita stores

Paper or plastic? It’s not a choice you may have much longer.

Four women, including a fisheries scientist and a former City Council member, called on Wichita City Hall on Tuesday to ban single-use plastic bags at Wichita stores.

“Plastic bags are everyplace in our community and they are a hazard to our environment,” said former council member Lavonta Williams. “(We’re asking) that we put a task force together so we can look at the feasibility of putting a ban together.”
