Addendum to Surfrider's Plastic Bag Law Activist Toolkit

Last week, the Surfrider Foundation released an Addendum to their Plastic Bag Law Activist Toolkit focusing on the question of how “Reusable Bag” should be defined. See Surfrider’s Coastal Blog for more information.

The Addendum builds upon Surfrider’s Plastic Bag Law Activist Toolkit (released in 2019), which delves exclusively into the details of best practices for drafting plastic bag laws. It also provides a comprehensive look at the harms of plastic carryout bags, recommended ordinance structures, important clauses to include, effectiveness data, how to spearhead a community movement, and the threat of preemption.
