Tim Ragsdale: Get rid of plastic bags now
Get rid of plastic bags now
Re “Industry looks to ballot in plastic bag fight” (Page A3, Oct. 23): The plastic bag industry is launching a campaign to undo legislation to phase them out. This is a classic case of a special interest throwing its weight around to the detriment of you, me and future generations. We can beat this special interest by starting the plastic bag ban today. Take a reusable bag to the store and refuse plastic. You and I can cause the plastic bags to back up at the factory. Working together we can send a powerful message and clean up the planet.
Tim Ragsdale, Modesto
