Ban Plastic Bags in Kingston, ON!
Target:
City of Kingston
Sponsored by:
The movement to ban plastic shopping bags may not seem that revolutionary, but it is and Kingston can be one of the first cities to do this. San Francisco was the first city to ban plastic bags and other countries have since implemented bag tax (Ireland), a cost for bags (China, Israel, Australia) or have begun using biodegradable bags. I move to completely ban plastic bags from major retailers, shopping markets, pharmacies etc. in order to address the issue of consumption. Although anything helps, by banning the bags and forcing people to use reusable ones, we are changing peoples habits and that is the ultimate goal. So who's with me?

We the undersigned ask that the city of Kingston, ON address the issue of plastic bag manufacturing and pollution by banning plastic bags in large supermarkets and retailers. The issue of consumption is the underlying problem and we feel that banning plastic bags will force shoppers to change their habits and use reusable bags. The city of Kingston has many environmental initiatives and we hope that this will be added to the list of positive ways that the city of Kingston has helped its community.
