It sounds harmless however if this bill is passed that means plastic bags will continued to be manufactured, used, and discarded. Plastic bags are over used and will not decompose for at 20 years, they may even last up to a 1000's years. It is estimated that 1 TRILLION plastic bags are used and discard annual around the world. All across the Nation, cities have been banning plastic bags that are reeking havoc our ecosystems. Missourians must do our part. It's not enough to recycle these bags, we must completely stop using them so manufactures will stop producing them and make the Earth cleaner and more healthy for us and wildlife.
Missouri Bill HB 722 has already pass through the house please sign this petition to help stop this bill in its tracks.

We must ban the bags and take responsibility for protecting our Earth! We banned plastic bags in Seattle a few years ago. No one misses them. You actually feel good grocery shopping with your own reusable paper or cloth bags!
As a Missouri shopper and active citizen, I encourage smart decisions which benefit all of the community. Plastic bags are a thing of the past.
Take action now! We have to protect our Earth now, not later.
I agree. Plastic bags should be banned
get green, act now!
stop the bags
Ban the bags!

My city just banned plastic bags and is charging consumers 5 cents for paper bags. I see all ages of people bring their own bags into all the different grocery stores. No biggie! Everyone got used to the new law quickly. Cities should be able to make their own decisions about this.
