Anita Clagg, a lifetime Arlington resident, takes her own string bags, which she made during a period of recuperation, with her wherever she goes. She is a plastic-free shopper and frequents the Westover Farmer’s Market because she can avoid plastic. She agreed the big challenge in Arlington is buying meats without plastic wrapping. Clagg said the National Geographic magazine has a special issue on plastic which would leave readers convinced it is time to give up plastic.
