A major grocer in the Upper Valley announced plans today to phase-out plastic bags over the next year.
The Co-op Food Stores have four locations in Lebanon, Hanover and White River Junction.
“Phasing out plastic bags is just another step in our co-op’s long history of member-driven environmental leadership,” wrote General Manager Ed Fox in a post on the grocer’s website.
New Hampshire lawmakers are considering several regulations on single-use plastics this session.
A bill to restrict the use of plastic bags statewide passed the house last week.
