Reusable bags have become quite the discussion lately.  Since Portland decided to charge 5 cents for plastic bags, there has been quite the debate on whether or not this is OK.  Everybody has an opinion and for me, I absolutely agree with this.  Plastic bags are not necessary.  But, could reusable bags be making you sick?

A study done recently on reusable bags collected, right here in Maine, is showing that there is much to concern when it comes to these bags.  Watch the story from WGME13. Don't let this keep you from using reusable bags, like anything else, just wash them. Spray your bags with rubbing alcohol or just toss them in the wash with your clothes.
