Following interest from the Sustainable Tacoma Commission and the City Council’s Infrastructure, Planning and Sustainability Committee (IPS), City staff recently conducted a public feedback survey about potential disposable shopping bag restrictions.  The Office of Environmental Policy & Sustainability received input from nearly 2,200 members of the public and 84 members of the business community.  Survey results will be presented to IPS on Wednesday, February 24th, at 4:30 p.m. (Tacoma Municipal Building North, Room 16). At that time City staff will also provide recommendations on what action, if any, Council may take. To provide further feedback, Plastic Ain't Tacoma's Bag, a coalition of local citizens and non-profits concerned about plastic pollution, encourages Tacomans to attend the City Council meeting on Tuesday, February 9th, 5:00pm, (Council Chambers, Municipal Building First Floor, 747 Market Street). They can voice their opinion on potential shopping bag restrictions during the Citizens' Forum, the public comment held during the meeting.
