Oppose the Weakening Of the Anne Arundel County Bring-Your-Own-Bag Act! (For Residents of Anne Arundel County)
The Anne Arundel County Bring-Your-Own-Bag bill has been a tremendous success! Single-use plastic carryout bags have nearly disappeared, and more than 70% of shoppers are using reusable bags or no bag, because there's a 10-cent charge for paper bags to discourage their use. But County bill 92-24 would reverse this success by removing the charge for paper bags. If you live in Anne Arundel County, send a message to your council member to oppose weakening the Anne Arundel County Bring-Your-Own-Bag Act by filling out the action alert below!
