H.105 has been introduced in the Vermont Legislature to prohibit the use of single-use plastic bags in Vermont. However, your support is needed to show our legislators that the bill deserves to have a Committee Hearing and to be advanced to the House and Senate chambers for a vote.
Why is this important?
Plastic bags constitute the majority of waste that is crowding our landfills and polluting our oceans. These bags literally can take centuries to decompose, and represent a very real threat to human and animal life. It's time that Vermont follow in the footsteps of other progressive cities and countries and ban the use of single-use plastic bags.
