City Council Meeting Dec 4th - Banning Plastic Bags
Aileen
The City of Mountain View is considering a plastic bag ban on December 4th – will you come to the meeting and show your support for eliminating these polluting and wasteful products?
Mountain View is slated to be the first city in Santa Clara County to consider adopting San Mateo County’s plastic bag ban ordinance.
Sunnyvale has developed its own bag bag, as has San Jose.
Over 1 million plastic bags enter the Bay each year, suffocating wetlands, threatening wildlife, and polluting our waterways. The ordinance, which bans single-use plastic bags and requires stores to charge 10 cents for each paper bag, was developed through the partnership effort of 24 cities in San Mateo and Santa Clara counties. This regional approach will ensure the greatest environmental benefit with the least impact on businesses and consumers.
