Yes, we are disappointed the Seattle bag fee did not pass but suspect it was due to people not grasping the true extent of our plastic bag problem. It’s worth noting the plastics industry spent $500,000 (that’s half a million dollars!) on the anti-fee campaign in Seattle!
Sadly, the U.S. is far behind the rest of the world in embracing the reusable bag lifestyle. We’d like to see people choosing to make the change simply because they realize that collectively, each of us CAN make a difference in our world!
I’ve just returned from a week in the Seattle area, my home away from home. After years of flying into Seattle, the view of Mt. Ranier from the plane never ceases to take my breath away.
The area talk was of the impending bag fee, a vote being put to the people of Seattle. Last year, Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels proposed a 20-cent-per-bag fee on plastic and paper grocery bags that was later passed by the Seattle City Council. Today, Referendum 1, the Seattle Bag Fee, will go up for public vote.
It will be interesting to see what decision the people of Seattle make and, to what extent, their decision will affect other U.S. cities discussing bag fees and bans. We, here at Twelve Rivers, believe it would be a step in the right direction, although we’d prefer people wholeheartedly accept the reusable bag lifestyle rather than being strong-armed into it!
You have good intentions. You’ve gotten a set of reusable bags and they’re stored in the back of your car. You’re standing in line at the store and that’s when it hits you – the bags are still in the car!
We’ve all been in this situation. You weren’t planning on any shopping but, at the last minute, decide to stop by the store on the way home to just pick up something quick. Well, the best solution to this ever-present situation is by following the Boy Scout motto: Be Prepared!
Get yourself a compact reusable bag designated for your purse alone. Several styles fold up smaller than your cell phone and weigh a whole lot less.
This way, when you’re in line thinking of the bags in your car, you can smile to yourself, pull out your tiny pouch and magically unfold a shopping bag. You’ll get plenty of ‘oohs’ and ‘aahs’ from the clerks, trust me!
