A big cheer for the recent letters by Ms Hedou and Mr. Boyle in support of the plastic bag ban. As I see so many people already on board with reusable bags I believe Kirkland is ready to join the ranks of 10 other Washington cities in banning plastic shopping bags. And I believe our City Council is ready to support us in making this important step toward protecting Puget Sound and its wildlife. Let’s do it.
