Ban the Bag Petitioning
Thanks to all who showed up for outreach at Fred Meyer on SE 82nd this week for Ban the Bag outreach - a campaign to end single use plastics in Portland! Encouraging that so many folks carrying plastics bags signed our petition enthusiastly (and often without irony). We'll keep you updated about upcoming petition events! Help us spread the word.Monday, October 12, 2009
