A San Francisco attorney, Stephen Joseph, has decided that plastic really is fantastic! Mr. Joseph has a new mission: to sue California cities for their bans on plastic bags.  That was according to a recent Wall Street Journal article.  He fears that banning plastic bags will increase the use of paper, also harmful to the environment.            "I love plastic," the 56-year-old attorney told the Wall Street Journal.
