STATE HOUSE — Hoping that bans on plastic bags and Styrofoam containers could one day be in place statewide, environmentalists on Thursday celebrated varied plastic bans in place in 27 cities and towns.
Plastic grocery bags, plastic water bottles and Styrofoam containers extract a toll on the environment, including sea life, according to Ellen Curren, of Women Working for Oceans.
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Linda Horan, diagnosed in July with late-stage lung cancer, says she may be dead before New Hampshire opens its first medical marijuana dispensaries early next year.
She wants a judge to order the state to grant her a medical marijuana identification card now so she can buy marijuana legally in Maine. But a judge on Thursday postponed a ruling on her request.
