Skip the Plastic Norwalk

The Norwalk Common Council will take a final vote on the proposed Plastic Checkout Bag Ban Ordinance on Tuesday.  Your support at this meeting will make a huge difference. 

Norwalk residents use about 30 million plastic bags a year, which are no longer recyclable in blue bins.  Over 100,000 plastic bags end up in the Long Island Sound every year, where they break down into microplastics and are ingested by marine life.  Read more here about how microplastics are entering our food chain.  For answers to commonly asked questions about the ordinance click here.  

If you have family members, friends or business associates who have not yet signed the petition, please forward this email so they can sign, too.
