Bag Ban Public Testimony 7/24/2012 – 9/17/2012 <br />Subject: Please support a ban on bags in Eugene <br /> <br />Dear Mayor, City Council, and City Manager- <br /> <br />I am writing to support a ban on single-use plastic checkout bags within the city of Eugene to reduce the <br />use of plastic bags, encourage the use of reusable bags and reduce our dependence on finite natural <br />resources. Such a policy should include a fee on paper bags to encourage reusables. I urge Eugene City <br />Council to cut the flow of pollution into the ocean by banning disposable plastic bags. <br /> <br />It just takes a change in thinking by an individual to have a positive effect. I have been carrying reusable <br />bags in my car and in my bike basket for so long that plastic bags are now superfluous to me. If plastic <br />bags were unavailable then it wouldn't take long for everyone to adjust to a new shopping paradigm. <br /> <br />Thank you for your time and consideration. <br />have a great day <br />kind regards <br />Lisa Jackson <br /> <br />9/13/12 <br /> <br />From: Letty Morgan lettymorgan@gmail.com <br />To: Eugene Mayor, City Council, and City Manager <br />Subject: Please support a ban on bags in Eugene <br /> <br />Dear Mayor, City Council, and City Manager- <br /> <br />I am writing to support a ban on single-use plastic checkout bags within the city of Eugene to reduce the <br />use of plastic bags, encourage the use of reusable bags and reduce our dependence on finite natural <br />resources.

I often sling the bag over my shoulder and have two <br />free hands to open the car, or whatever else needs done! <br /> <br />It is imperative that we rely less on plastic! PLEASE BAN DISPOSABLE PLASTIC BAGS ~~~ IT'S TIME!!! <br /> <br />Thank you! <br /> <br />Letty Morgan <br /> <br />9/13/12 <br /> <br />From: kstingle@efn.org <br />To: Eugene Mayor, City Council, and City Manager <br />
