Locals Taking Action

Today, Bag It Bellingham gave a presentation to the City Council on the bag ordinance proposal. People from the community even showed up! Tonight, we have urged citizens to come and share their voice that they would like to see our City Council pass a bag reduction ordinance. The word is starting to spread and many people in our community are in support of this. Make your voice heard by writing to our City Councilmembers now. They need to hear from you: JWeiss@cob.org; GKnutson@cob.org; BBuchanan@cob.org; SSnapp@cob.org; TBornemann@cob.org; MLilliquist@cob.org; SFleetwood@cob.org.

The Bellingham Herald ran 3 letters to the editor this past week. They were excellent. And if you feel inspired, send them a letter too: letters@bellinghamherald.com.
