Interesting. Here in the city where I live there's a plastic grocery bag ordinance -- bring your own bag or use paper--  but for health safety reasons the post-consumer recycled bags are still available for bagging your own vegetables.

The cafeteria here one-ups the local industries -- the disposable utensils are made of corn starch, so they're biodegradeable and not made of plastic. Plates and napkins are recycled paper product, too.
