Abstract:

On October 1, 2009, North Carolina will become the first state in the Southeast to ban plastic bottles from landfills. Legislation was introduced to reduce energy consumption and lower greenhouse gas emissions, as well as to save landfill space and reduce litter. The new law will also have positive effects on the state’s economy.
