Champaign looking to reduce plastic bag use

Champaign city officials are looking at ways to cut back on the amount of plastic bags floating around.

from the News-Gazette:

Administrative services manager Elizabeth Hannan said Tuesday that an outright ban or a small fee on plastic bags might be the way to do that.

All nine city council members signed off on a petition to get talks going. That does not mean each would support it, but it is enough to bring it before the council for a straw poll in March.

You can access a City of Champaign Plastic Bag Survey to share your perspective on the matter.
