ConservingNow Community Change

“When it comes to plastic bag bans, Edmonds sings its own tune.  After all, it was the first Washington city to approve a ban of plastic checkout bags from all retail stores just last month. That ban is expected to start in August 2010.  So, while Seattle voters last week rejected a fee on plastic bags, Edmonds city leaders say they aren’t persuaded to change their ban, and even opponents say they don’t plan to challenge it.”

ConservingNow.com applauds Edmonds.  They have taken a strong stance and acted quickly to ban plastic bags from their community.  It’s a great step forward!
