Poll On Plastic Bags Under Way?
I can tell you that one of my favorite activities on Sundays is reading the newspaper. Today, there was a small article regarding a Florida statewide poll that is being conducted as an effort to reduce the effect of plastic bags on the environment.
The city of Lake Worth (South Florida, Palm Beach County) is administering the poll, and asks people whether a ban or fee should be enacted ont eh use of retail plastic bags as an effort to help improve the environment. I have attached the survey link and ask you all to participate.
One of the sad things about this poll is how short it is and worse, the information link provided on the dangers of plastic bags on the environment is dated from 2003, or 7 years ago.
So while participating in the poll which seems heavily in favor of a fee rather than a ban, you ask yourself what you can do. The answer is simple. Buy biodegradable trash bags that truely leave no impact on the environment. Not only compostable, these biodegradable garbage bags from Biobag are easily the best product on the market. Why stop there? There are 3 gallon versions of these biobag products available as well.
For those who own pets and say that they use the storebags to pickup dog poop. No worries. biodegradable dog poop bags are available as well. Take some time to check out these products and more importantly, take the poll. I am quite sure your tax dollars are paying for it.
till next time….
