From GreenBiz, by Doug Woodring

CBS News Sunday presents a special report on the impact of plastic piling up in our environment and the effects on recycling from China's National Sword.

Author David Pogue poses, "So, what happens now to the plastic we used to ship to China? Nothing. It's just piling up."

The Oregon House Committee on Energy and Environment held an informational hearing on the recycling markets issue earlier this week.

The speakers included Abbey Boudouris and Brian Fuller from DEQ, Kristin Mitchell from ORRA, and Michael Wisth from the city of Eugene.

They did a great job providing an overview of the situation and discussing how local areas are responding.
