The plastics industry has managed to get a bill filed in the Texas Legislature that would prevent Texas cities from enacting bans on single-use plastic bags and prevent the enforcement of existing bans.
City revenues are the ones that are exhausted by having to clean up the ghostly hordes of discarded plastic bags that float like poisoned jellyfish on the wind, bog down in our waterways and endanger our wildlife. Cities pay, should get to choose.
Call your state legislators, mamas, and ask them to oppose HB 2416, because this should be an issue of local control.
If you are in the Coastal Bend, Representative Herrero's number is 512-463-0462 and Representative Hunter's number is 512-463-0672.
Thanks!
