Have businesses actually stopped giving out plastic bags since a citywide ban went into effect? A new report from PennEnvironment provides a first look at compliance rates. Plus, a new documentary looks at the Black birthing experience in Pittsburgh – at the same time the state is expanding access to doulas. And it turns out our city has a high percentage of pranksters (at least according to one study).
We always cite our sources:
- Pittsburgh was rated the top Prankster City in the U.S. by casino.org
- PennEnvironment studied whether businesses are complying with Pittsburgh’s plastic bag ban
- TribLive looked into the ban’s rollout and enforcement
- We discussed the plastic bag ban – and the effectiveness of similar measures – on City Cast Pittsburgh
- WESA reported on state efforts to expand doula access
