Moving Cincinnati Past Plastic
I support amending Cincinnati's environmental codes to include a 0.05ยข fee for single-use plastic bags to reduce our community's rate of plastic consumption.
Why is this important?
Single-use plastic bags are manufactured using non-renewable resources but are consumed at a rapid rate. They are responsible for:
1) Litter in the community and pollution in the watershed
2) Extraneous spending for removal by the city of Cincinnati
3) An increased carbon footprint for the city of Cincinnati
