The article offers information about the banning of "white pollution," the color of the plastic bags that merchants use to package goods purchased by consumers, in Beijing, China.

Such measure is taken lightly by residents in Beijing because there are more important issues to consider including the growing concern over environmental issues and anxiety over the rising costs of oil prices than the issue concerning plastic products.
