Join County Councilwoman Sunny M Simon, Chair of the Education, Environment & Sustainability Committee and sponsor of Ordinance O2017-0006 for a community conversation. This ordinance will enact a 10-cent carryout bag fee to offset costs of environmental remediation due to plastic bag pollution and will encourage Cuyahoga County residents to use reusable bags when they shop. We will learn more about the reasons for this important ordinance and what it will do once enacted. Then we'll find out how we can help support our County Council for standing up for our environment and Lake Erie by writing letters of support.
