To the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba These are the reasons for this petition: 1.Plastic bags are harmful to humans,animals and the environment. 2.Toxins from photo-degration(break-down of plastic bags)end up in Manitoba\'s soil,water ways and food supply. 3.Plastic bags take many years to photo-degrade and are a blemish on our roadways, parks, streets,hang from bushes and trees and litter our landfills. 4.There are many alternatives readily available ranging from reusable bags to bio-degradeable bags to crates and boxes. We petition the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba as follows: 1.To support Bill 200-The Waste Reduction and Prevention Amendment act presented by the Member from River Heights to ban single use-check out bags in Manitoba. ***

Seeing 250 people back this cause brings me so much hope for our local parks and waterways. My heart is full knowing so many neighbors care as deeply as I do about keeping Manitoba clean.

Seeing one hundred people sign this gives me so much hope for our local parks and waterways. It feels good to know that so many neighbors care as much as I do about keeping our province clean.

I see the plastic waste clogging our parks every single day and I know we are gaining ground. We need to hit that next milestone quickly so the Legislative Assembly understands exactly how many Manitobans demand a cleaner province.

We need to clean up the province. Those flimsy bags end up in the river and kill the fish. Ban them for good.
