New Year’s Day will mean no plastic bags for shoppers in and around Prince George’s County, Maryland, as a new law takes effect. Beginning Jan. 1, 2024, Prince George’s County’s ban on plastic bags will replace plastic bag use in retailers with paper and reusable bags in an effort to “protect local waterways and marine life, reduce plastic pollution and litter, and promote reusable bags,” a release said.
