Plastic Oceans Plastic Bags State Kicks off Campaign for a Statewide Reusable Bag Bill
The campaign for a reusable statewide bag bill kicked off this month. Environmental organizations and their legislative allies hope to build off existing 23 local ordinances already in place in Washington and introduce the bill in the 2019 legislative session.
