Bow and arrow hunting on Sundays, recycling of paint cans and a five-cent fee for each paper or plastic bag at a supermarket or retail shop.
 
Those are some of the 34 proposals that could be raised by the legislature's environment committee during the current legislative session.
 
The committee held a brief meeting Friday afternoon. More concepts could be raised when the group meets again on Jan. 28, said co-chairmen Sen. Ed Meyer, D-Guilford, and Rep. Richard Roy, D-Milford.
 
The fee for bags at stores may prove one of the committee's more controversial measures. Roy said he expects vigorous opposition from the grocery industry.
