Single-use plastic bags have already been banned in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, but there's now talk of this happening across Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania Senator Judith Schwank (D-Berks County) has plans to introduce legislation aiming to stop retailers across the state from using plastic bags.
Under the proposed legislation, retailers would be banned from providing plastic bags at checkout locations and instead would be asked to offer paper bags for a small fee.
Eight states, including New Jersey, Delaware and New York, have already banned single-use plastic bags.
