To the Editor:

Reading “Council Approves a Fee on Checkout Bags” (news article, May 6), I was sadly reminded of a visit to Grand Canyon National Park a few years ago. The gift shop was providing these diaphanous bags to customers, and you could see them stuck in tree branches on the floor of the canyon.
