I do not support the ban on plastic bags as I recycle the bags. For example, I reuse
it to transport items that may be wet, food that may leak, produce and trash, etc.
I feel the government is being too restrictive. The county should not prohibit
businesses from providing plastic bags to their customers. It is what we are
accustomed to and is very convenient and useful and is always reused. Many of us
live on a fixed income and do not want to be imposed on to purchase reusable
bags.
Banning plastic bags is negative and is not the solution. Instead, the county should
be proactive and come up with a degradable bag or other recyclable program.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide testimony regarding this matter and
I strongly urge you to vote against Bill 17.
