Read it right here...Bellingham is being lauded for their plastic bag ban. It's becoming a model for other cities to follow. Interest is running high...
It's just a minor issue that the mandated program does not go into effect until January 2012...
It probably IS the best time to win notice for a program...before it becomes actual practice...before you know if it really works...Those pesky realities can really mess up a good theory.
(I use the the adjective "good" loosely in that last sentence...)
That's Bellingham for you....total overachiever!!

Oh I am not looking forward to this. First, I have to buy a bigger purse to hold my bags that roll up. Second, I will have to BUY garbage bags for my little cans. Third, wet towels from the pool? UGH!
ReplyDeleteI really do my best (my VERY best) to take my reusable bags but sometimes I forget.
We'll see, we'll see.
