We need local action to Ban the Bag in Queen Anne's County.

Why Ban Plastic Bags?

-They start out as fossil fuels and end up as deadly waste in landfills, waterways, and the ocean.
-They are not recyclable. Most end up in landfills.
-They take over 300 years to photodegrade into microplastics, which are consumed by wildlife and humans through food and the air.
-Wildlife mistake shredded plastic bags for food

So far, 9 states, including Delaware, have banned single-use plastic bags. Countless other jurisdictions have as well, including Baltimore City and Chestertown. It’s time for Queen Anne’s County to get this done!

We, the residents of Queen Anne's County, support the passage of a plastic bag ban. If this ban becomes law, it would encourage the residents of Queen Anne's County to use reusable bags and will significantly reduce plastic pollution.

I support the introduction of a bag ban for Queen Anne's County.
