A group called plasticbaglaws.org will be sending a letter to Mayor de Blasio urging him to support the NYC bag bill (Int. No. 209-2014). The group is seeking additional signatories to their letter and, given the relevance of this issue to water quality in the NY-NJ Harbor, we are in support of adding the CAC as a signatory to the letter. If your organization is interested in signing the letter, please let us know and we will provide additional information.
Please let us know whether you would like the CAC so sign this letter. Please vote here by close of business, February 24.
Background information:
