To: City Council of South Lake Tahoe
HELP KEEP TAHOE BLUE, SIGN THIS PETITION AND SHARE IT.
I am in support of phase two of the ban on plastic single-use carryout bags and urge the city council to reject any delay in implementation of phase two of the ordinance.
Why is this important?
On October 15, 2013 the city council of South Lake Tahoe adopted a ban on plastic single-use carryout bags that applied to all grocery stores as of January 15, 2014 and all retail stores as of October 15, 2014.
On June 17, 2014 the city delayed implementation of phase two of the plastic bag ban, which would expand the ban to all retail businesses in South Lake Tahoe. This second phase is important because plastic bags are harmful to Tahoe’s wildlife, environment, and delicate ecosystem. In addition, I recognize that the health of Tahoe’s environment and economy are inextricably linked.
