Bag Ban Public Testimony 7/24/2012 – 9/17/2012 <br />inside of reusable bags. When your food is placed in those bags, it comes into contact with the bacteria <br />and can make you ill. <br /> <br />How Bacteria Develops <br />Bacteria can develop inside reusable grocery bags for a variety of reasons. If meat is not sealed properly, <br />small leaks can occur. The meaty juices can then leak out into the bag and contaminate other foods. <br />After the foods have been emptied, the juices remain in the bag, creating the perfect environment for <br />bacteria to develop. <br />It is not just meats that can contaminate these bags. Many individuals who are extremely careful about <br />properly caring for meat often overlook the other potential hazards in the foods that they purchase. For <br />example, residue from dirty cans, boxes, packages and bottles can all collect at the bottom and along <br />the sides of reusable bags. Residue from fruits and vegetables can be equally hazardous. <br />Many people store their reusable grocery bags in their cars so they will always have them handy and <br />available when they visit the grocery store. The problem with this is that all of that residue and <br />contamination from meat juices is left inside the bag, festering in the heat of the car, sometimes for <br />several days. http://www.symptomfind.com/health/reusable-grocery-bags/ <br /> <br />Charles Biggs <br /> <br />9/17/12: <br /> <br />From: BIGGS Charles (SMTP) charles_biggs@hotmail.com <br />To: Eugene Mayor, City Council, and City Manager <br />Subject: plastic bag proposal <br /> <br />Dear Mayor and City Councilors, <br /> <br />I am against the proposed ban on plastic bags due to the recent events (May 2012) located here in <br />Oregon (see below).
