Bag Ban Public Testimony 7/24/2012 – 9/17/2012 <br />From: Sarah Adkison sarahvoyager@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. Such a policy should include a fee on paper bags to encourage reusables.

From the homeless to <br />Oscar Hungers (from the Odd Couple TV show) in the world will give you and your family free of charge <br />all the germs you can or can't handle. I also am against the 5 cent paper bag charge! <br /> <br />Bacteria In Reusable Bags <br />Unfortunately, there is a down side to using reusable grocery bags instead of disposable grocery bags. In <br />fact, using reusable grocery bags can be downright hazardous to your health. This is because a handful <br />of recent studies have found that reusable bags can be a breeding ground for harmful bacteria such as <br />Coliform and E. coli, as well as noroviruses. These germs can live for extended periods of time on the <br />
