Re: Testimony on Comm. 64 (Bill 17) Plastic Bag Reduction
Individual Testimony
Dear Chairperson Smart, Vice -Chair Pilago and Members of the Committee:
I strongly favor the proposed bill on Plastic bag Reduction. Unlike so many problems facing us now, this one does
not need to continue. Although super markets may have offered opposition, they will find that the consumer
quickly adapts to using recyclable bags or -- in many cases -- none at all. I have spent some months in France
and see that they have no trouble shopping without plastic carrier bags. I myself sometimes forget the recyclable
bags in the back seat of my car as I go into the market here. You can bet I will not forget if I do not receive a bag
at the check -out.
Maui and Kauai have led the way. Please support this bill so we can join that team.
Thank you for the oppostunity to testify.
Susan Dursin
Comm. No.
