Atlanta Considers A Ban On Plastic Single-Use Items At The Airport

The law would ban Styrofoam, plastic bags and straws in city-owned buildings. That includes City Hall and the world’s busiest airport.

Travelers through Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport may have to give up straws and other single-use plastic items.

That’s if a proposed Atlanta law takes effect.

There’s still a while to go before the ordinance could potentially become law. The ordinance is expected to be heard in committee meetings this month.
